Reviewed 16 August 2009

5 of us stayed in a mixed dorm for 3 nights and the people and staff were really friendly and helpful and generally the hostel isn´t that bad (close to Sugar Loaf and easy access to buses and metro). However, the mattresses and pillows are plastic (very hot at night) and the rooms are basic. Also, there is no nightlife particularly near to the hostel; everything is a bus or metro ride away.

The main problem however, is that when you check out they tell you that to leave your bags for the day (or in our case 2 hours!!) you have to pay 50% of the room rate (R$15) which I think is crazy. Having travelled for 11 months this is the first time I´ve ever had to pay for such a basic service. To be fair, the staff asked if we could leave them for free but the owner refused and this is the main reason for the overall bad rating.

Would I recommend it? Only if the owner sells the hostel to someone who knows about travellers!!!

This is an absolutely awesome hostel. It is in a great neighborhood and the staff are very helpful. It is also near the metro which is awesome for getting around the city. They have weekly parties with an awesome Brazilian bar b que.

The rooms are simple and accommodating. They clean daily and the breakfast is amazing. I stayed here once in 2004 for one month and again in 2006 for 1 week. I will be going back soon.

Beautiful hostel, the rooms are a bit small but if you stay here be prepared for the party of a lifetime, chances are you won't get much sleep. The staff know the ins and outs of the city and are always willing to assist, the security in the hostel is excellent and the atmosphere is great and makes it really easy to meet fellow travelers. The hostel offers excellent activities during the evenings that everyone usually participates in. Excellent hostel, in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The location is good, a middle class neiborhood, next to a police station and shopping mall and between the beaches and the city centre.
