After spending a month travelling through Brazil, I expected the Copa Hostel to outshine the rest, given that it is found in Copacabana. From arrival, I was nothing but disappointed. I was fortunate enough to stay in one of the apartments, situated around the corner from the actual dorm accommodation. The apartment was decent enough, although for the price, I... More

Worst hostel I have ever stayed in, and I have stayed in hostels across Europe, Asia, and Africa. Although multiple things were wrong with this hostel, the worst part about it was the staff who worked there and their total lack of ability and desire to help us with anything. Our room was in a building other than the actual... More

I do not recommend Copa Hostel mainly due to the staff - actually, the receptionists. When we booked a room for six people (since we were a group of 6), it was arranged by e-mail and guaranteed by the attendant that we would share the same room, all the six of us. When we got there, we found out that... More

Do not book this place, it is a scam! Where to begin when EVERYTHING has gone wrong here, not because of one particular individual or any one event, but because it seems as though incompetence and theft is systematically implemented in this hostel! We booked in September and paid a 10% deposit through Hostelworld for a stay over New Years... More

It´s definitely a case of taking the rough with the smooth at this place. The location is great being a 5 minute walk from Copacobana beach and a 15 min one from Ipanema so if that is your priority, you are laughing. If not, well .... Via internet we´d booked a family room but offered an alternative, we switched to... More

Just stayed couple of nights at Copa Hostel and I strongly recommend travellers to STAY AWAY! 1. RODENTS: The place is infested with bed bugs and cockroaches... they are just eveywhere... 2. CLEANLINESS: The only "clean" place is the showers area. Bedrooms and hallways are urine-stunk... 3. FOOD: The breakfast is opaque and inimaginative: 1 slice of cheese/ham, a fruit,... More

Me and my fiancee stayed for a few days in this hotel, in the double ensuite room. It has a great location and room with TV and minibar, which we liked a lot. However when we arrived, there was a terrible smell of urine in the hallway, second night the room smelled of sewage, and a coackroach sneaked through under... More

Esta bien ubicado, cerca a la playa de Copacabana y restaurantes, pero el staff es poco amigable y nada amable, no tienen ganas de atender a los huespedes, parece que les molesta atender a los clientes. El hotel esta mal organizado, nos asignaron camas que no estaban disponibles, pues los lugares para maletas estaban ocupados y asegurados. Los baños necesitan... More
