All things considered, this is a really good hostel. I mean, first of all it's really cheap. You can easily get a bed for 6 quids. Sure you have to pay for other things like towels or padlocks but they are also really cheap. Drinks are pretty good also. I was surprised that I had AC on the room, most hostels in Brazil don't have them. And this is very important because it's really hot in Rio. You wouldn't believe how hot it gets, even at night. And most important: wifi works. As in really works and it's really fast.

The guys that work there really care about the guests. I mean, I stayed less than a week from the Carnival and they were already taking us to the main street parties. Their tips for getting around were far better than what I researched online. The atmosphere at the hostel was pretty cool also. The view of the Jesus statue from the terrace is really beautiful. For sure it was a bit noisy sometimes but you have to keep an open mind, after all it was almost Carnival and everyone was in a party mood.

Melhor atendimento e muitas opções de atividades

Localização legal, camas confortáveis, boa limpeza, e o ponto forte que é a receptividade. São muito acolhedores e prestativos, indicam várias opções de atividades, fora e dentro do hostel, ja que o próprio lugar tem sala de jogos, sala de filme, varanda, muito bem estruturado e agradável, me surpreendeu muito.

Pessoal muito gente boa! Fui muito bem recepcionado, o hostel é bem organizado, limpo e tem os quartos bem arrumados. Barzinho com varanda convidativo a passar horas conversando com os outros hóspedes e ainda tem um fliperama e sinuca para quem gosta! Cozinha bem organizada! Assim como vi um senhor falar quando estava no hostel, eu também aconselho a se hospedarem e pretendo voltar! Abraços, Sergio

Cuidado com a feira

Aos sábados pela manhã a feira começa cedo o que pode tornar impossível dormir já às 4 da manhã, mesmo com o uso de tampões nos ouvidos. O atendimento foi sempre bastante atencioso e a localização é ótima.

Bom pra uma noite!

Quarto com cama pequena para mim com 1.85 e muito barulhenta. Nos colocaram num quarto com a pia do banheiro em manutenção, não deu nem pra usar. A rua é muito barulhenta e a janela não veda muito. Café da manhã é simples. Tem tábua de passar roupa. Wi-Fi muito bom. A recepcionista muito atenciosa. A localização próxima ao Botafogo é muito boa! Pra quem é solteiro valem a pena os quartos!
