Nice enough hostel good location for copacabana beach and easy access to bus routes taking you to sugarloaf, Christ the redeemer and ipanema. staff helpful and security is pretty good. Lockers are big enough to fit all your things in and dorm rooms are lockable. Toilets could do with a good clean and mattresses are pretty dirty but they do provide clean sheets so overall not too bad. All in all not a bad place to stay in rio.

Compared to other hostels in Brasil poor breakfast and often late. If you want to leave the hostel early for a tour, etc. you have to skip breakfast. Pictures of bathrooms, dorms, etc. look better than they actually are. Some staff members are nice, others were not really helpful.

Olá, O café da manhã é de tal forma para evitar desperdícios e realmente evitamos, desde que começamos com tal política. De qualquer forma, esperamos você de volta! Att

Hello, thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your stay very much. I must say that R$37,00 reals for a 8 bed dorm SUITE with air conditioner and breakfast is a very decent price. We are 3 blocks from the beach and if you search for prices in the area we are in a very affordable rate. Bathrooms are cleaned daily and we are located in a quiet residential street only with houses. Cheers
