I love the way the staff was so friendly especially Julia, she was fairly funny and kind with me plus we got super along. The rest of them were always willing & happy to assist you as well.
The vibe there was unique and special, public areas really cozy and ideal to meet new people, finally the location was perfect nearby from the airport and overall metro station 200 ft by foot to go anywhere
Honestly I ain't no complaints about this amazing place. I had a great experience right there.

Super vibe and super comfy, I felt at home! People from the hostels are really sweet, fun and helpful. The location is good too for a round in Santa Teresa or Lapa!
Nothing, perfect!

Nice place to stay. Super friendly staff and helpful as well.
Great breakfast and good location.
The beds are good and you have a curtain to feel more private
The WiFi didn't work all the time in my bed/place

Everything is nice, the people, the atmosphere, the kitchen equipment
The only problem it is very loud in the morning when the people starts breakfast preparation. It makes it impossible to sleep with that loud surrounding.

1 block from the metro, lots of travelers to do things with, super comfortable bed, security lockers, good showers with warm water, great breakfast, cool old house, definitely one of the best hostels in Rio
I'd requested a lower bunk and was promised that, but when I got there they didn't have one and the man at the reception actually LIED to me about it, saying that the lower bunks were taken up with people who had all been there for a while and no one had vacated. Well, on my own I changed with a guy who had a lower bunk who had JUST arrived that day - they made an administrative mistake but they didn't fix it, I had to work it out on my own. He shouldn't have lied about it, bad first impression.

- The hostel is near the metro Gloria.
- Staff is nice
- (good) Breakfast included
- Very social (they invite you to join their WhatsApp group and do activities together with the others)
-The hostel gives you a locker to put in your bags and other belongings (you need to bring your own lock)
-The guests in our room when we were there, were somewhat loud during the evening/night and thus making it hard to sleep.
-Guests are very careless with their belongings, no wonder there was a review I read earlier on Google maps about theft. I even found a passport laying around somewhere, very dangerous!

Pleasant
Great location close to metro is the main selling point. Some of the staff were lovely and helped us book transfers and tickets, good patio area for socialising and met some lovely people, felt very safe, reception open 24/7, air conditioned rooms, great spread of food at breakfast, whatsapp chat for sharing tips, and cheap happy hour drinks.
Too many staff, a lot of them seem to do nothing and you feel like you're getting in their way. People smoking in the communal areas. There's only 3 toilets between the whole hostel and one of them was blocked for most of our stay. The whole top floor shares one bathroom/shower. Breakfast is great but served from 8.30 so you have to miss it if you want to get to something early enough to skip queues.

The location was incredible. Great breakfast although didn't always start on time. Very relaxed. Multiple bathrooms which was good as one broke. Small rooms but they had storage space separate.
Triple bunks. Aircon only at 10 pm to 10 am in very hot weather. Not a lot of comfortable common spaces to lounge in. Didn't notice any hostel activities.
Thank you for your information!
