the facilities are quite bad, but that is compensated with the friendliness and the staff's eagerness to help. one thing I have to complain is about their 'staying 7 days and the 8th night is free' "promotion", because I asked specifically about that a couple of times, but the 7th day I was given a rather confusing explanation of why the promotion didn't apply in my case, and I had to find another place immediately. fortunately, there are plenty of hostels in Botafogo. the facilities are quite bad, but that is compensated with the friendliness and the staff's eagerness to help. one thing I have to complain is about their 'staying 7 days and the 8th night is free' "promotion", because I asked specifically about that a couple of times, but the 7th day I was given a rather confusing explanation of why the promotion didn't apply in my case, and I had to find another place immediately. fortunately, there are plenty of hostels in Botafogo. ...Close

Really relaxed and good location. Friendly staff, but the only downside is the adequate but average breakfast. Really relaxed and good location. Friendly staff, but the only downside is the adequate but average breakfast. ...Close

Para todos los que quieran conocer Río, tienen que hospedarse en Botafogo Easy Hostel poruq la ubicación es estrategica, ellos proveen toda la información necesaria para quien visita por primera Brasil. Es un hostel bien seguro y el staff es de primera. Se los recomiendo a todos aquellos que vengan a Río, prueba de ello es que yo volvi y voy a hospedarme aqui siempre que este en esta ciudad.Para todos los que quieran conocer Río, tienen que hospedarse en Botafogo Easy Hostel poruq la ubicación es estrategica, ellos proveen toda la información necesaria para quien visita por primera Brasil.

I enjoyed the stay with friends. I made new friends with people around the world. Nice place to stay close proximity to downtown, comfortable for tarvelling to most of the attractions in Rio. I would suggest to others to stay here. Syamal DanaI enjoyed the stay with friends. I made new friends with people around the world.
