I came to el misti to stay originally for 3 nights and I have decided to stay here for the whole of my stay in Rio as this hostel is amazing; perfect location, close to the beach, metro and buses. The staff can't do enough to help .The free breakfast is fantastic and the French chef offers "all you can... More

No security to go in the hostel, no locks for the rooms, unfriendly and unhelpful staff, loud and unfriendly cleaning ladies, dirty bathrooms, dingy and crowded rooms, expensive tours advertised, had to pay for Internet, small social area, small eating area. Only good things were cheap caipirinhas from the friendly bartender, and decent breakfast. Would have been better if staff... More

Had stayed here during June 2011 with a friend of mine. It had a very good break fast and the rooms were decent. We stayed in one of the dorms and the dorms were clean and neat. The best part is it is 100 meters away from metro station and 600 - 700 meters from the beach ! The staffs... More

Never stay there if you would like to have a good nights sleep there. The 2200 silent time was never been bothered by some of the tenants and duly enforced by the staff. People still talking loudly after midnights.. Some tenants back from party after 4 am and the worst thing was still blowing their hairs after their shower !.... More

If you would like a good nights sleep this is not the place to stay. Good location, Friendly staff. The chef cooks great food in the evenings and the breakfast is decent.

Almost perfect, but in the end it is a bit crowded. People and staff are great! Copacabana is near, and we got cheap caipirinhas at night :) I recommend to everybody! If you are a large group, 5-10 than this is great for you!

In any big citites like Rio, it's always difficult to find a nice place, cheap and clean. Here the location is great (some blocks form Copacabana beach). It's easy to go anywhere in the city. Hosts are friendly. The bad things are the small dorms, too many dorms in one not so big place which makes it sometimes really noisy... More

Booked this because they said they offered free pick up from bus station but they don't. Stuck with a three night booking which they make you pay up front (always a bad sign). The place is dirty, the cleaners and chef are the most rude staff I have encountered in travelling and the 9 bed dorm we were in would... More
