Hostelworld says:
Beach Backpackers Hostel Rio de Janeiro is in a safe, charming neighbourhood near Botafogo metro station, just 15 minutes' walk from Botafogo beach. The hostel has a mini shop onsite and is close to a variety of shops, bars and restaurants. We like the popular BBQ nights they host in their outdoor area. Hostelworld travellers most frequently praise their security and the 'friendly and welcoming' staff who are on hand 24hrs a day.

Beach Backpackers Hostel Rio de Janeiro says
We're used to getting all type of guests, from 18 to 60 years old. We have special access for wheelchairs and being the only gay-friendly hostel in Rio means we have proper info about parties and where to go in Rio. I like to send people to the huge bar complex situated 10 minutes' walk from the hostel; it's got more than 20 bars and restaurants and is called Cobal Humaita.

For guests who want to have fun at the hostel, most put their iPods to play music in our outside area, chilling out on the comfortable couches, drinking beers and enjoying Happy Hour at our bar, which is on every day. We also offer a welcome drink as a courtesy to our guests.
One of our unique features is that almost all of our dorms are ensuite with air conditioning, and of course all of our facilities are included in the price.- Bernardo, Owner

I booked a place at this hostel but they denied my admission after I comment that they should publish their unusual luggage storage policy on their info in the policy.
