Rooms were hot and overcrowded, there is no hot water. the doors could not be closed. Wifi was shocking, the swimming pool was dirty and no one had the courage to stay in there. The hostel is overcrowded on hollidays and you may also sleep on the floor,because there is no space for so many beds.

From the RIO International Airport, taxi will take about 50-60R$ and 45 minutes. Ipanema beach is 30... More

The guy at the counter of this hostel with black hair from Europe is arrogant. No respect at all. Told us to find the room for ourselves and gave us directions. He was too busy on the phone to his friends. He told us the big boss would be coming in and we need to hurry up and go up... More

First, keep in mind you're going to a hostel and not to a hotel. This was my first experience with such a place. The reception staff were extremely helpful and friendly.

We had to stay at this crappy place because everything was fully booked due to the Carnaval. It was awful! Rooms cramped with beds, people everywhere, doors couldn't be closed, lockers broken, only a couple of bathrooms for all these people... To be fair, the receptionist lady was nice and friendly, the beds and the sheets were clean and they... More
