Honestly one of the nicest hostels I have ever been definitely recommend! Its would be even better if they organised some free events at the hostel not just tours. But definitely stay at this hostel for some nights in Rio, maybe not super long, the walk up and down to the hostel gets a bit tiring.

The hostel is about 10 minutes walk from the center and 15 minutes from the Rodoviaria. The supermarket also 10 minutes. The kitchen has all necessary equipment. I slept in a comfy bunk bed. I really had a good time here.

The overall vibe of the hostel is very sociable. The hostel has common areas - all well decorated and well furnished - that make socializing easy, including a kitchen, lounge, outdoor furniture, and a pool. The staff also contribute to the friendly social vibe, epecially Alexandre who was a great conversationalist. At the same time, the staff also keep the hostel clean, organized and safe. I appreciated all the efforts made to keep the hostel clean. I also appreciated Luciano's professionalism and management.

Great hostel with very friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms and a very nice vibe created socially. Private room is big and a nice balcony. Shared rooms are comfortable as well. I normally was staying 2 nights in Rio but I cancelled next location because I had very good fun. Location also perfect, middle of Ipanema, with best supermarket closeby, safe street.

The location is perfect and in a safe area, so it‘s a good place to explore Rio. The hostel has a bar, where you can hang out, meet new people and have some drinks, between 20:00 - 20:30 there‘s free caipirinhas all you can drink, in combination with party vibes, so it‘s good pre-gaming. Staff is super helpful, Tai is an angel, you can always ask for recommendations. Also, everyday they organize events that one can join.
