The hostel is close to the beach, just several minutes on foot. The staff is really helpful. The breakfast was ok. Please reconfirm the reservation with the hostel to avoid misunderstandings. Some rooms don't have shelves or wardrobes, or even a chair, so be ready! Don't expect much!

We had mixed feeling about this hostel. It´s definately the party hostel to stay in and we would stay there again. The kitchen is not great but the food they serve at the bar is good and the bar itself is cool and has a jacuzzi. the rooms aren´t the best and not that clean for the money that you pay, but it´s a great place to meet people. The worst thing about the hostel that some of the staff, well the female staff, were very rude to us and took a real dislike to us. So much so that they told their friends at a night club not to let us in, that ruined our night!! But maybe that was just because we were girls! But overall i would still stay there again, but in the end we rented a flat with the 4 of us which turned out to be much cheaper and so much fun, so if you´re there a week or more definately look into getting a flat.

Breakfast good, 10 bed dorm good cause it has 2 bathrooms in the room only slight downside was that sometimes it seemed as if staff didn't always know what was going on... Would recommend and stay here again!

I ended up staying almost two weeks - despite the fact that I could barely sleep due to the busy main road out the front and the thumping music from the nightclub (on selected nights only) next door. The reason is that this has everything you really look for in a Rio hostel: it's lively, without being too party-mad, it's easy to socialise here, the breakfasts and BBQs excellent, and it's a five-minute walk from Copacabana beach. I'd stay again.

Good location, lots of stuff going on, cool bar area. Bartender on the night we stayed was not friendly at all though. Looked like she would rather be anywhere else! Bunks are not the most comfortable, but air-con made up for it.

This place was superb. I stayed for 10 days and met so many awesome travelers. The staff was friendly and by the end of my stay we were all hanging out and grabbing drinks. Wild, not the place to go to get some R&R but perfect for the Carnival season.
