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.

Liked: Good location. Friendly staff. Very good breakfast and dinner. Clean.

Disliked: Too many beds in every dorm, it gets really cramped. All too few charging points. The common area could be bigger. Not very many bathrooms for so many people.

Liked: Definitely where you want to be if you want to meet other travelers. The staff are awesome and the food is really good value. The nightly outings are also a great help with an incredible breakfast the next day to get started all over for this vibrant city. This hostel reflects Rio in many ways. Enjoy!!!

Liked: Located 10 minutes from the beach on a safe street,across the street from a great grocery store, Pão do Açucar. Great staff who is always cleaning and speaks great English (though they are loud sometimes and smoke too much in the common area, which I disliked as a non-smoker). Some of the dorms are a bit cramped but they do have air conditioning at night, though only one blanket in the whole 14 bed dorm. 5 bathrooms seemed to be enough-I never had to wait more than 2 minutes. Awesome breakfast. Great free wifi. Music always, and beer/coke/drinks for sale all the time.

Disliked: if you are staying in a downstairs dorm, it will be loud pretty late,and it gets loud as soon as breakfast starts. So if you are sick and sleeping a lot or need to sleep in, get a dorm room upstairs.

Disliked: 3 tier bunk beds might be a bit much for those afraid of heights. Although there is free wifi, you have to pay to use the computer. Nothing too much

Liked: It is a awesome place. I enjoyed my stay at the hostel. Good location near the beach , the breakfast is really good, the staffs are helpful. Great atmosphere to meet other backpackers from all over the world. Good and cheap dinner. During the night there is a bar that you can get good caipirinhas. Big locker inside the dorms that you can keep all your bags. The price for the tours are fine I would recommend it to everyone. Thanks El Misti Hostel
