Nice and clean hostel, very helpful staff, good location, comfy beds, great showers, and not a bad price for a hostel in Rio de Janeiro. Three minute walk to the beach, close to all public transport (metro, bus) and they organise lots of tours if you're into pre-organised tours.

Stayed here in September 2012 for 9 days and had an absolutely amazing time! The hostel organised tours everyday and parties at night! Perfect if you are a young backpacker looking to make friends as it is a really social hostel!

Had to change room after first night because the room was like a... More

The good thing about this hostel was the friendly bilingual staff who helped me get lot of things done during my last day in Brazil. The hostel was crowded all the time with young travelers from around the world, and it was almost impossible to find a place to sit. The music in the reception played the latest hits on... More

The Che Lagarto Hostel Copacabana enjoys a fantastic location close to the beach and close to the metro. It is a great place for meeting people. During my three-night-stay there were, however, two incidents of theft.

Location, location,location! in the heart of Copacabana, 5 minutes walking from the beach.the price is good, since everything in Rio is a little bit too expensive. the rooms are very small and the AC works whenever it want, so, one night i freeze to death and the other was to damn hot. Staff is nice, but they did forgot that... More
