Liked: I've had a great stay in el misti hostel. It is really easy to meet people there and it has a relaxed atmosphere with good caipirinhas! ;) The lockers are big and spacy and made out of metal - so you can store your luggage safely (if you bring your lock). You receive also a very nice map of Rio.

Disliked: Nothing much actually - the dorms in the ground floor are a bit loud, but that's normal in most hostels where you also want to party and meet people.
