28 June 2009	Peter Zgebura Very close to the Rio Metro.	70%

24 June 2009	Adam Springer Our sheets and towels were still wet when we received them. The room was nice and had a fan and air conditioner. Breakfast was good with fresh fruit, bread, butter, and jam. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The computers can only be used for a fee. This was the first hostel I had seen do this. We were only here for a night, didn´t really meet any people.	67%

21 January 2009	Customer review Daniel a guy who works here will give you the best directions to anywhere in RIO. The metro station is 5 min walk away from the hostel which makes this a great location as you can go anywhere in RIO for real cheap on the metero. Also the TV in Vila Carioca is HUGE which after 5 months of traveling its nice to be able to chill on the couch and watch one of the many movies here. Great place nice to chill, party mode bit quite here which us travelers need sometimes.	92%
