Very Poor
Everything about the hostel is worse than a prison cell. The moment I entered the room, I felt sick. It was nothing like the photos published on Booking.com. The staff handed me a plastic bag with a bedsheet and pillowcase and asked me to change the bedding myself. The room was smelly and unbearably hot. When I spoke to the owner, he told me that every hostel in Rio only turns on the AC from 10 p.m. to 10 a.m.—which doesn’t make sense, since the daytime is hotter than the night. I felt like vomiting because of the room’s condition and immediately canceled my reservation.
I requested a refund, explaining that their online details are misleading. However, I have received no response from the owner, and Booking.com has not taken any action either. I understand it is a hostel, but it should at least be decent enough for guests to stay in.

Good location, kind staff and safe staying.
I would recomend the hostel offer a colective kitchen for guests.

Staff was very nice, at checking we got upgraded to an apartment they own nearby which was great to have, more privacy and space,
The location is a great walking distance from everything including the Beach.
we asked about Wifi password and the man in charge even give us his personal number in case we needed.
l would stay again.
The Toilet was loose and the bathroom floor was wet from the leak.

Fair
Plus:
Centrally located with everything you need nearby. Only 8 min walk to Copacabana.
Kind and friendly staff.
Minus:
The beds are HORRID because of plastic cover on the mattress that sticks to your body from the body heat. Thus resting / sleeping is uncomfortable.
No hand soap in any of the toilets whatsoever(not good for hygiene).
The kitchen needs an upgrade.

The hostel is good for the cheap price. I had a private room and it was ok, kitchen is clean and well furnished, location is good, close to many supermarkets in Copacabana, good wifi, I could work during my days there. Just be aware that The room just had a van and not AC, for me it’s ok as I don’t mind but for someone suffering the heat may not be the best

Excellent hostel. Close to the beach. The staff are very nice. There is a good kitchen.
There is no storage for bags. The rooms are quite small. The top floor has a dinning and work area but it could really use air conditioning as it is very hot

My second time here in two weeks, I came back because I was feeling great last time. The personnel were nice and helpful. I was in 5 hostels during my stay in Rio and this one was the best. I'm easy going, I don't need the luxury, I need nice people around, nice place and good energy. All of it you can find here.

Nothing
The place was extremely dirty, and when I pointed it out, the owner yelled at me. Their behavior was incredibly rude and unprofessional—completely unacceptable.

The location is very good, it's easy to get anywhere. The personnel were wery nice and always helpful. The best was, to meet other people in the dining room or terrace. We could share experiences, warnings, make new friendships, go out together, it was great. I should be there for 2 nights, but I stayed one week. And I will come back.

Location was great! Only a few streets back from the beach. It was on a well lit street so I felt safe. The staff were amazing and very friendly - especially Vinicius, he always made sure we were safe and had everything we needed - such a lovely person!
I wouldn’t say it was a social hostel

The location was good
The staff were really not even sure about what they were doing the asked me and some other people to change bed several times after giving us a number themselves.
The wifi sucks so sooooo much unbelievable

Poor
Air conditioning was working fine and no mosquitos. Staff was nice. Ok position in Copacabana.
Very old facility, no real common areas to hang out aside from the kitchen at the top floor, bed frames were extremely squeaky (the slightest move men would make a sound), no safety bar on bunk beds, mattress and pillow are wrapped in plastic (hygienic yes but warm at night), there are no water or any drink available for sale at the facility so for a glass of water you have to go to a store which at night it means it could be a couple of blocks away. There’s no real deposit for the luggage if you plan to leave your bag for the day.

Pleasant
Staff we’re friendly and good location
The hostel was really noisy and the beds were not comfy. They made you put on your own bedsheets which I’ve never had before in a hostel.

Only 2 bunk beds in the room I stayed in.
Close to the beach and buses
The room I stayed in had its own bathroom
In the specific room I stayed in on the ground floor I was given the top bed, the aircon blew directly onto my bed and a/c fan was set on the strongest, so, not only I froze at night (and now have a flu), but the a/c blew so hard it made it difficult for me to sleep due to the noise
The next day I managed to change the settings.
The common area (a small lounge with couches and a TV) felt dingy, in the morning when I left at 6 there was a guy sleeping on the couch
No plug to charge phone on the bed under me.
Although the "negative" comments, overall it's ok, I'd stay again

Disappointing

Beds and pillows horribly uncomfortable, plug sockets at beds don’t work, no drinking water, rather dirty, kitchen poorly equipped
