In Botafogo, a suburb - not fully in the action, but able to get metro and buses easily. Located in between beaches (Copacobana/Ipenema) and the centre which is quite good. Bathrooms old fashioned. Bedrooms quite cramped, 3 bunk beds x2. Good breakfast - toasted cheese & ham, juice, cake, french bread Bar and nightly dinner options Offers full range of tours Overall good option if you dont need luxury

Good location with views of Corcovado and Sugar Loaf. However you arrive (bus or air) , there is free pick up, free breakfast (they have eggs!) and a free caipirinha your first night! The staff is friendly and fluent in Spanish, Portuguese and English. The hostel is on a major bus route but there is no vehicular noise. The hostel has a nice chill vibe which gets a little samba funk-y later on. It's the hostel to hang out at or get a recommendation for night time activities around town.

Great lounge area in which to meet people. Drinks at the bar a little overpriced though.

We have been to El Misti and Pousada Aquario, not to Pousada Rio de Janeiro. El Misti has a very good breakfast and offers you a very good dinner for an acceptable price.

Great staff and facilities on offer. Cheap tours made the sights good value for money - and close to sugar loaf. Communal areas were great and very chilled out and good kitchen to use. Only bad thing is there is always a wait for a bathroom!
