The staff is incredibly welcoming, and the entire property is wonderful. I absolutely loved the resident cat hanging around, and I really appreciated how impeccably clean they keep everything
I wish there were some hostel-organized activities to encourage interaction among the guests. Also, adding privacy curtains to the beds would be great—not just for personal space, but to keep the air conditioning from blowing directly onto some of the beds

Location.
Secured access.
Price tag is higher compared to other locations in Rio but understandable since you are in the heart of Ipanema.
Single room comes with no A/C and very limited space.

The location was fantastic. Close to the beach, plenty of great restaurants, shops, and the metro. The pool was also great and well maintained. The resident cat Lilo was cute. There was plenty of lounge space and the bathrooms and showers served their purpose. The AC, when turned on, was also functional. The staff were very nice and helpful. Sometimes slow to respond when asking for extra pillows or blankets but thats a minor issue.
There was a lack of space to hang our clothes and towels to dry. We stayed 10 nights and we realized half way through our stay that there was a rack hidden in the back that no one had told us about. Near the end of our stay, one of my friends in my room woke up with a ton of red bites on her arms and back they were almost certainly due to bed bugs. I understand this can happen at any hostel but the management needs to do a better job at keeping up with cases of bed bugs and getting it sorted quickly so they don't spread. Luckily I didn't get bit but it easily could've spread to other beds.

Disappointing
The location is perfect, the property is clean, clean pool and garden area.
The low score is because unfortunately my stuff was stolen from the dorm and I heard two other guests got stuff stolen as well. In my 20 years going to hostels I've never had or heard of this situation. I stayed in other two hostels in Rio and everyone's stuff were on beds and out of the lockers and no one touched other people's stuff.
The other problem was three days without the internet. It worked great for just my first night. .
The shower is good, but the bathrooms are a bit small to change clothes comfortably

I really loved the location of the hostel and the breakfast!
The room didn't give off an impression of cleanliness. Walls had marks, ceilings were filled with crawling spiders.

I liked the pool, the vibe, and the people staying the hostel. The staff were lovely, and the ambiance was perfect. it was a calmer hostel, not a crazy party place. There were some people working, others there were on vacation, everyone was friendly and willing to socialize. The hostel felt safe and clean, though the showers are very hit or miss for temperature (you either get freezing cold or burning hot haha). The breakfast options were good, and there are so many cute places nearby! The beach is just a 6 minute walk away which was incredible, I was there every morning.
When I left, I accidentally shorted myself a day (my fault). I didn't realize it, and so got charged a late fee for not checking out on time. That's totally okay, I accept. But what bothered me is that when I came to collect my belongings, I had to organize them quickly as many of them had been shoved in a garbage bag, and I couldn't go to the airport with it like that.
I needed to transfer my things from the bag to my suitcase, but was told that I would need to do this at the front of the hostel, where people were smoking, drinking and relaxing. I said I didn't feel comfortable doing this because it would disturb their vibe, and also because I had personal items like bras and panties that I didn't feel like having on display.
I asked whether I could organize on the deck by the hammocks, and was told no, the front was mandatory. I then insisted that I would be quick and to allow me to do this at the back for comfort and privacy reasons.
I felt a little insulted because I had just paid the late fee AND the day fee (again, I had no issue with paying these things as it was my mistake). However despite me being there daily for the past two weeks and being pleasant with all the staff, I was nearly forced to unpack and reorganize my things (that had been shoved in garabage bags) in front of others-it would have been humiliating.
Only after my refusal to do so twice was I allowed to organize my things in the still public back area, but was warned twice again that "technically you're not allowed to be here, it's for paying customers only"...even though I had been there two weeks and had in fact just paid the day fee. It felt a little degrading.
This is my only problem with the hostel experience. Otherwise, I had an incredible time and would recommend it to others.

Location and clean
Staff could be more knowledgeable and helpful. The sheets are really small, and a quilted blanket could also be provided. Other hostels offer beach chairs and umbrella or have deals with beach stands.this hostel doesn't offer anything like that. Showers are good but the drains are a bit clogged.

I loved the variety of places to hangout, the place was generally clean and the location.
I had to ask the staff four times for an extra pillow when I was sick and I never received one. Also, my friends and I received bites after a few days of staying in room D.

The location. Walking distance to the beach, there’s tons of shopping and dining places in the neighborhood. Also, the beautiful patio and the swimming pool in the garden is a nice touch.

The location was wonderfully convenient!
The staff were all very nice!
The property is a little dated & run down, but that added to its charm.

A nice place to stay in a safe neighborhood, with lots of great bars and cafés just around the corner. The on-site bar with terrace is also very enjoyable for relaxing. There is a swimming pool, and while the shared toilets and showers are a bit basic, they are fine. Overall, a cozy and comfortable place to stay!
We stayed in a private room without a private bathroom. The bed is a bit firm for Dutch standards, but otherwise we slept very well!

It was the first hostel I visited in rio, paid 440 reals on private room per night!!!! 880 reals in total! And it was the worst room and most expensive room I had in all Brazil!!! I cant believe I paid 440 reals! For this gross grossest room. Do your research before going, there are better hostels. The room was like a basement and smelled like mold.

Great vibes, classic good backpacker style hostel in an excellent location.
A bit noisy, and there was only one bathroom upstairs, so we often had to go downstairs to use it. And they were not so clean. But the overall vibe was quite clean and nice!

Centrally located and nice patio for breakfast.
It’s too tight, they pack too many people in a small place. They have 3-level bunk beds so not good to sleep. The staff was not that helpful.
