10 September 2009	Customer review I would recommend this hostel to anyone. Great location in the middle of Copacabana. We saw monkeys in the trees from our window. Our room was lovely with big windows and a lot of sunlight. The favela tour was amazing. The staff really looked after us.	100%

06 September 2009	Customer review Allegra, the owner, was wonderful, very easy going and went out of her way to help. The other staff; not so much. There is one computer, which is used officially by staff from 9.30 to 12.30pm, but to be honest, they´re on it 24/7 and you can never get on, so you´ll need to go to internet cafes etc to book flights etc. This hostel is also located at the top of a very steep hill so be prepared to walk, and sweat! If you want to meet people, this is not the hostel for you, it´s very quiet and not much ´hostel fun´.	40%

14 August 2009	Andrew Knispel Staff were very friendly and helpful in organising tours and recommending restuarants, etc. Great location near Copacabana beach.	92%

12 August 2009	Customer review A bit nervous arriving to RJ, I was suprised by how safe & secure I felt at this hostel. I booked for one and ended up staying for four because the place was that good! Being up in the jungle was so beautiful & lovely for a good night's rest, but then so close to the beach. Staff were super-friendly and helpful with great insider tips and info. Definitely recommend staying at this hostel in Rio!	100%

11 August 2009	Customer review The owner is very strict about no noice after 12 except when she is having a party. While we were there we were constantly being moved from room to room. Despite having booked a private double room, it ended up double booked on occasion and we had no choice but to share a dorm.	67%

09 August 2009	Customer review Well located despite being at the top of the hill. Clean and nicely decorated.	70%

08 August 2009	Customer review It was quiet and secure	80%

05 August 2009	Customer review Staying with Alegra was like staying at a friend´s share house. Everyone was really friendly, and we got to know all of the staff. We were lucky enough to arrive for one of the monthly parties, and had a great time. The hill is a bit of a killer (wouldn´t recommend trying to drag a heavy suitcase up it!), but I felt very safe in the hostel, which was important to me in Rio. We also did a couple of the organised activities, and they worked out really well.	87%

28 July 2009	Julian Aristizabal it's a very calm hostel, its location is very good.	47%
