Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Well it was a place to stay but I cannot recommend it. First of all the place is very loud. Directly opposite of the hostel is an open club that plays music until 4 o'clock in the morning which you cannot ignore. Then the cleanliness of the hostel is mediocre. There is a kitchen in theory, but it's not a space one wants to stay nor is there equipment provided. I met a cockroach in my bed and the bathrooms are small dark spaces. At night the neighborhood is not safe and the hostel does not encourage meeting new people, so I cannot recommend it for solo travelers! Most disappointing was our luggage situation. We wanted to leave our suitcases there after check-out, just for a few hours until our flight, but it was not granted by the manager with the reason that there's no space. After some discussion it was clear that the manager was just after the money and we couldn't leave our bags there unless we booked a whole new night, hence we had to store our luggage at a random hotel for a small fee. Rest of the staff was friendly. All in all I can say that I will not come back and there are better options in the same price category.

Foi um bate e volta, já conheço a localidade, o hostel fica num local bem localizado, fui bem recepcionado e bem atendido, como só fui para dormir, foi tranquilo, porque durante o dia não pode ligar o ar, só a noite, então pra ficar lá durante o dia é quente.

Terrivelmente pessimo, só possuem banheiro compartilhado, sem frigobar no quarto, não oferecem toalhas e cobram 15,00 por cada, controlam o uso do ar condicionado de 7:00 as 22:00, fui dia 7 de setembro e não fiquei nem 20min pelo mal conforto e por estar precário o serviço, não indico esse lugar, pessimo de ser achar, cobram 15,00 pela chave caso perca no check in, pessimo pessimo!!!

Decepcionante!

Horrível!!! Vc paga por um quarto sem conforto e nada de privacidade. Prédio velho… preços altos…ducha fraca. Pedem pra não fumar no quarto mas o cheiro de cigarro de outros hóspedes invade áreas comuns. Atendentes debochados.

The place is fine. It's on a good location close to the centre and the main street of Lapa. My room was also pretty good, but I missed a fan. I was also a bit disappointed that the hotel did not provide towels, although you could rent them. In all, the stay was okay but service could've been a bit better.

Experiência única

Ótimo localização, metrô, ponto de ônibus, mercado, bares tudo perto, higiene do local impecável, não teve um dia que o banheiro não tenha sido lavado, recepção da Iza foi incrível, voltarei sem dúvidas... Tem algumas coisas a melhorar, igual a parte da cozinha, colocar um fogão maior, uma geladeira maior, tive um probleminha com café da manhã, aqui no site estava falando que era com café incluso, chegando lá não era, porém nada que conversando não entrasse em acordo, uma tv a cabo também seria bom, melhorar a lavanderia também, pq se todo mundo lavar roupas, não tem como estender... Tirando isso tudo perfeito... Uma idéia, pra enteragir com todos os hóspedes, fazer uma janta, algo pra comer, umas bebidas, pra todos se conhecerem, fiz uns amigos aí, e sei que vou levar pra vida!

Two night trip

I was only there for two nights. They did a good job of letting me in and out of the building. They also let me store my belonging while I waited for check-in. That was very nice. The bathrooms weren't ideal. The part that I really struggled with was the horrible beds and the bugs that were everywhere while I slept. I probably got about twenty bug bites while staying in that hostel.

Gostei de ficar no hostel, os atendentes era muito simpáticos e o quarto que eu fiquei era bom também. Porém fui assaltada quase na frente do hostel, que é em frente a uma delegacia. Por isso, não achei muito seguro. Também não gostei pois se o funcionário estiver saído da recepção, mesmo que rapidamente, a porta de entrada fica trancada e temos que esperar nessa área que não é muito segura

melhor do que o esperado

Deixei para ultima hora a estadia durante o Rock in Rio, por sorte, após pesquisar varios dias, apareceu esse por R$50 a diaria, sendo que os poucos que sobraram estavam por minimo R$120, ainda assim, nunca dois dias seguidos disponiveis. Achei que o hostel fosse apenas razoavel pelas avaliações, mas gostei do quarto, beliche boa, bom espaço e ventilação. Só um pouco barulhento durante o dia a rua. O locker é o ponto muito negativo, muito pequeno, não coube mala de ninguem no quarto, e só cabe cadeados micros. Gostei da area comum do hostel, apesar de pequeno. O banheiro que é ponto mais reclamado em hostels, achei que estava em um nivel bom, pois o hostel estava lotado. A localização é ao lado de uma delegacia e um quarteirao do fervo da lapa. O metro achei que seria mais perto, a noite impossivel ir a pe, av sem luz e sem ninguem, assim como no domingo o dia todo. As atrações historicas do centro é possivel ir a pe.
