To stay here is quite expensive (cheaper if you book through hostelbookers) and the price of the trips they offer seem to be slightly higher than other backpacker hostels in the area. The appartments are amazing though and the staff are really nice. Not the place if you are on a budget but a great place to stay otherwise.

most of the staff @ the reception was very cooperative and friendly. a guy was very committed helping us with finding and booking a jeep-tour around rio...the city is marvelous - however: most of the time while walking around copacabana (during day - at night we preferred to take a cab) you have the feeling that crime is lurking around at almost every corner. so dress down and enjoy your stay but keep a sharp eye... it's a city where you shouldn't make your way thoughtlessly... the hostel itself is a great place - our room was big and comfortable. we just had problems with the shower because the water was cold... hint: turn it on steady and at the begining just a little bit and it will work out fine... We personally didn't feel all-too comfortable that rooms have to be paid in advance. We normally are used to pay at check out but everything worked out well... all in all - reasonable and recommendable accommodation

hostel is rented apartment and everything is fine but the Rio is great poverty and is extremely costly for the low standard of living!

The excellent things about this hostel are WIFI in our room. English speaking TV channels, Discovery, Universal, History, News, Large fridge, cooking facilities, spacious, quiet location but close to supermarket, metro, buses. Showers are electric and hot at any time if you have a low flow rate. Safe in office for valuables. Not so good things were threadbare linen, the rooms are not cleaned at weekends, no hot taps or plugs in sinks.

Large clean apartments. Great bathrooms and very spacious. Good location, 10 mins walk to Copacabana beach. Helpful staff. No real communal area for meeting other travellers- more serviced apartments then hostel but overall great stay

This hostel was wonderful for us. It is like apartaments for the price of a hostel. If you want privacy for the better price, this the place. Clean, good location, excellent people. If you are looking party, people and divertion in the hostel, this is not the place.

Alhough this hostel may be marked down for fun, its not needed you have Rio nightlife on your doorstep. The facilities, having an apartment with kitchenette, free fast internet, Huge TV area and very friendly staff with travel ideas make up for any lack of atmostphere in this hostel...
