Super friendly staff, a great location near the beach and in a quiet residential area. All the staff took the time to answer all my questions (i.e. how on earth to I navigate the bus system) along my questions about life, society and politics in Rio. A good value option with a nice breakfast and plenty of good spirit.

Breakfast was standard- rolls, fruit, coffee, cake. The kitchen, bathrooms and rooms were regularly cleaned. The bar is good, but its not a party hostel if that's what you're after. The staff really... More

We (3 girls) stayed for three nights and tried to book again when we returned to Rio- it was full but the staff helped us find another place. The hostel is small but clean and nicely decorated. I can’t speak highly enough of the staff,... More
