Excellent location, just a few minutes from Copacabana beach and seconds from bus stops. The hostel has a bar and a nice area outside to hang out and meet new people. The bar is reasonably priced and I forget her exact name, but one of the bartenders there spent about ten minutes making a drink for me because I was... More

We absolutely loved this place. It was a great location and great way to meet people. Seconds away from the beach, clean hostel with an awesome atmosphere. The beds were comfy and clean. The hostel organised great parties, especially at Lapa and the Funk Party. What makes this hostel though is the staff, who are all really helpful, friendly and... More

Staff is nice, but they did forgot that... More

We spent 9 days at the hostel and did NOT want to come home. The staff are incredibly helpful, friendly and so much fun, they really made our trip. The organised day trips give a great insight to the city and life in the favelas etc. and then of course there are the organised nights! Nights in Lapa, favela funk... More

i spent 6 nights at a 8 people room in the second floor with 2 other friend. It was good because we met nice people and each night the hostel has activities for all (even on sundays that was the best experience - favela funk party) I think the breakfast could be better. Bring your own lock for keeping your... More
