Stayed here during carnival was awesome, staff friendly as and always willing to help when ever, bar at the hostel is sweet, whole hostel is tidy as, location is good as not far to beaches and short train to city. Breakfast is good but best if your up earlier than later. Highly recommended an would stay here again

We've stayed at a 8 bed room, which was quite simples. I wish there was a socket next to my bed, it had only on the opposite wall. Durig the three nights that we spend there 2 out 3 light bulbs where burned, so the room was quite dark, we've asked them to fix it, but while we where there... More

Oztel is a very cool place with a cool staff. Well located in Botafogo, you can easily get around town by bus or Metro. They have very good food at the bar and the rooms are clean and organized. The pics in the site are exactly how it is. A modern and cozy place for people how like being well... More

Even if you are used to hotel comfort, take one of the individually designed suites and enjoy its style or even the Christ view if you're lucky ;-) All by the way, what you get on top and even for free, is the...

The building is new, the colours are nice, the facilites are OK and the breakfast is good. The huge problem of Oztel is the very noisy atmosphere because it works also as a sort of a bar open to the public and is very close to another bar that works until the sunrise. Plus, it is located in a busy... More

Botafogo isn't Copabacana but it's not a bad second choice as it has good transport links. The hostel wasn't in an ideal location, it seemed slightly closer to Humaita than Botafogo, there was still a lot of bus catching and walking to do to get to the metro station and I wasn't sure how safe it was at night as...

If there are design hotels, this is a design hostel... If you enjoy a cool lifestyle, that's the place. Design and decoration makes the difference at Oztel. It is located in Botafogo, approximately 15 minutes walking from the Lake, Ipanema and Copacabana. Even though it's not a bohemian area, there are some good restaurants and happy-hours around. On the other... More

Bright, new, spacious hostel with large lockers, clean facilities and a good breakfast :-) Funky, colourful interior design, luggage storage, friendly service, safe, secure, bar, cool tv room for those rainy days. If I was to name anything slightly against it, that would be its location...it's not on the beach. But it's a 10 to 15 minute walk to Copacabana....the... More
