Before coming to Rio, I was a bit worried about safety, but this hostel completely put my mind at ease. It has its own secure entrance, which made me feel very safe. The metro station is just a few minutes’ walk, making transportation super convenient. There are several supermarkets nearby, which is very handy, and the beach is only about a 20-minute walk away—perfect for a stroll or relaxing. I really enjoyed staying here and would definitely choose this hostel again next time I visit Rio!

The family hosting the stay were so lovely! They don't speak much English but made a great effort to ensure I felt welcome and at home for the whole time I was there through Google Translate. The location was perfect for going to and from the airport. The airconditioning worked very well which is always a bonus. Such good value for money!
