Liked: It was a welcoming environment. A nice reception area. You could use the hostel facilities if you arrived early - including breakfast. I arrived at 5.20am. I received a nice email on check out too. The bar has a good atmosphere and couldn´t be heard in the dorm.

Disliked: There was sand on the mattress of my bed when I arrived.

Liked: friendly staff, good breakfast with fresh pineapple and melon. good welcome caipirinha. it felt very safe here.

Disliked: 12 bed dorm was rammed! no space for bags and the floor was dirty. the 6 bed dorm had bigger lockers though. no mozzie nets on the window so we got bitten. The girls bathroom never had any soap in the dispenser in the 5 nights we stayed.

Liked: It's a very good place to meet a lot of people, the staff is so friendly and hepls you to find the best bars and partys. The beach and most of the clubs and shops are very near. Most of the time, the Hostel is very clean.

Disliked: At night, its a little bit cold because the blankets are small. And I think that there are not enough bathrooms for so many guests.

12 April 2010

Liked: Nice place to stay but not so confortable. The rooms are very small and ther's no place for the baggages, with air conditioned it' better because it's really hot, the windows have no curtains so the light comes into the room very early in the morning.. The breakfast is normal, nothing special. Kitchen and bathroom are clean. Nice bar upstair to have a cheap and good capiroska and make friends. I think I would have preferred a place in Ipanema, it's the fashion area and the beach is better so far.

18 December 2009 Melissa would recommend this property

Liked: I like the atmosphere of the hostal, it is a very good place to meet friends and go out. The rooms are quite small to have 12 beds in it. Breakfast is ok. The services offered are ok, except for the charge for using the Wi-Fi, I think it can be removed if the person stays many nights.

Disliked: Melissa left no negative feedback.
