I didn't have the breakfast, but it looked decent. Very cheap price. The people staying here are the real reason you would stay here, but that is a hit or miss.
Beds uncomfortable. A/C wasn't working. There was somebody doing construction in the ceiling above my bed in the morning and nobody let us know.

Fun, nice breakfast, nice parties, quiet during the night, which helped me to sleep good to party later
Nothing! I stayed there 4 months ago and I had problem with noisy during the night, but this time this problem was solved and I had an amazing time

The vibes are amazing and super easy to meet people! Great for a solo traveller and to socialize.
Some of the showers were incredibly small and didn't really have a place to dry and dress up, making it slightly uncomfortable as the showers were unisex. Also no privacy curtains on the beds.

Amazing atmosphere, the staff tries really hard to give a festive atmosphere to the place when the evening comes. It was where I've found that it was easier to make connections with other travellers.
I wouldn't recommend walking alone at night in this neighborhood.

Backpackers vibes. Party place with happy hours a 19h. Very good to socialize and meeting people in rio. Mainly western people. Big common area with tv and netflix. Nice volunteers staff and nice rasta manager. Close to lapa bars and walking distance to historical center.
Dorm is just right on top of the breakfast common area, So it’s noisy in the morming. AC only from 9pm to 9am. Small toilets with broken door. Small kitchen with few furnitures and without a table to cook. One manager and one of the breakfast lady can be very unfriendly.

Pleasant
The bed and pillow was really comfortable, and the happy hour was good with reasonably priced drinks
The bathrooms were pretty unhygienic with small flies in the sink and some of the bathroom doors didn’t work. We also thought this was gonna be a good party hostel but the whole night felt unorganised. Also didn’t feel overly safe in the location at night.

Such a fun hostel! Since the moment i got in i was a part of the group and met so many amazing people. The energy was high and good. The crew was so nice and helpful, breakfest was tasty, the hostel is clean and comfortable. The location is great if you like to party. I left and came back because i liked it so much. Thank you!

Books is more than just the greatest party hostel in Rio, it is a community and a family. From stepping in through the front door, you immediately realise that this place has a shared history between the owners, volunteers and guests. Memories are printed and hung on the walls of inside jokes, photos, stories and testaments.
The energy is electric all the time and you really do live in the moment here. There are events happening every day and the hostel has made it very intuitive to connect with other travellers, whether through their constantly active WhatsApp chat or at the long breakfast table. From 7-9pm, the 2 for 1 happy hour is unbeatably dangerous and nights out with the hostel are legendary.
Showers and bathrooms have no faults, the TV has sports channels and Netflix, the rooms come with AC and lockers and the breakfast is for really champions - everything you would ever need!
So fellow travellers, if you’ve read this far then what are you waiting for? Do yourself a favour and do not hesitate to stay with Books, as one day when you walk through their doors, you might be on the verge of creating and sharing something very special.

Best hostel in the world!!! We love Felipe and the Books Hostel family we created during our stay. Proper party hostel where you will get little sleep but make the bestest friends.
Highly recommend at least a few nights if you are in Rio, you will have the best time ever and make the most amazing memories with the team and people who stay here.
Daily activities with the hostel team, everyone was super lovely and friendly showing us the real Rio. We spent our 3 nights laughing, partying and fully immersing ourselves in the true Rio and carnival experience.
Nothing, we were so sad to leave!!
