i stayed at mellow yellow backpackers for the week of carnaval, and the hostel helped me organize trips, reccommend parties and clubs to go to, and made my week the best party week of my entire life. friendly, easygoing, and welcoming. they organized a boat party for all the new arrivals for the week, so it was easy to meet everyone that would be staying for the ensuing week.

the staff (particularly jimi), the trips/tours, the area of copacabana, all the help/advice/information thats available! -you can find out pretty much anything you need to know.., the bar, the community of it and meeting everyone. if i have any bad points atall it would be thast is sometimes too hot and dosent have aircon in most rooms(if any), but you get used to it.
