Che Lagarto Hostel Copacabana Reviews

Maybe it could have been better if they check people in earlier than 2pm if rooms were available. Booked for a 6bedroom room as there were 5 of us. When we went to the room, we were surprised that there were 10 beds. So had to bring all of our luggage down again. At least the guy named pepe assisted us in getting the 6 bedroom room again. Unlike isabella who told us "if you don't want to bring your luggage back down, then stay on the 10 bedroom room"

First hostel I didn't liked.. Perfect location but the staff was unfriendly, didn't have knowledge about the hostel, inflexible, and you have to pay a lot without giving any more information about the payment.

My stay at the hostel was nice. The hostel is a cool and lively place. The breakfast is also good. But I think that some things need to be improved. In my opinion it is not a very safe place. They dont have individual keys nor lockers in the rooms. Common area lockers are available, but they are very small, even for backpacks. Also there is no control of the entry of guests at the hostel. The bathrooms are not good and they are always wet, despite a constant cleaning.

El hostel esta bien ubicado cerca de la playa de copa, pero es muyyyy ruidoso cerca de la avenida, No es grande el espacio para el desayuno es chico no hay donde sentarse, hace mucho calor y los cuartos las camas de arrba no entras sentado te pegas la cabeza contra el techo y no hay ventilacion... no volveria x estas cuestiones. Despues es super limpio, los banios impecables muy amplios

最悪 TOO BAD! NO WI-FI every time! staff is Liar!!!

This hostel is HUGE. If you are looking for a party atmosphere, this is the place to be. If you want a quiet place to Skype or check your email this may not be the place for you.

Best hostel I've ever stayed in! The staff there are very cool and made the Carnival experience the best it could be. Very friendly, sociable and secure hostel.

staff checked me out for no reason and then put me into a 12 bed dorm rather than a 6 bed dorm i had paid for because they were full, with no reason, no apology and no refund - watch out for this...

The rooms in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd floor only have air condition from 22.00-08.00, which makes it hard to relax in the rooms during the day since its soo hot. They play loud music in the reseption all day long, which can be a bit annoying. The staff is excellent, very friendly and helpful! The breakfast is good aswell!

the rooms are very crouded. Like a submarine (not to mention a concentration camp)

Easily one of the best hostels in Rio! Incredible atmosphere, nice comfy beds, insane location, amazing staff (especially Isabella) can organise anything you want whenever you want. Parties every night, but can be nice and relaxed as everyone moves on. Am cuttin ilha grande short to go back two days earlier for carnival there.

The place has a really good location. The rooms are clean and with AC. The bathrooms are not that good, and they are scarce (2 per floor) and not so good. The kitchen is closed as from 16hrs so you can´t count on preparing dinner in it. The staff is ok.

Kitchen closes at 4pm. This makes it impossible to cook dinner for yourself. Foyer/reception area in chaos, always playing music so loudly that you have to yell at the staff and they have to shout back. stupidity at its most idiotic. restricted hours of air-conditioning made worse as you can't open the windows because to laundry is directly underneath. construction being done while we were there.

Overall a pleasant stay, we met plenty of nice people staying here. It was a good location and security was always out the front which was good. The rooms were always clean. They could definitely make better use of the bar, pool and area on the third floor which no one goes to!

It is the worst hostel ever (and I've been in a lot!) I went with my girlfriend, we made a reservation and when we got there, there were no beds available, we had to sleep in separate rooms, they changed my bed 3 times, the bathroom were not clean at all, the staff was not able the arrange the situation.

My stay there was horrible. Locks were broken, the air condition never worked, there was not hot water, the staff ignored me and the rooms were not clean and lookers were too small. After being at the Che Lagarto Copacabana I went to the one at Ipanema and it was really different, clean, spacy, looks had magnetic cards, rooms had air condition, hot water and big lookers down the beds. The staff was much nicer and dedicated.
