El Misti House Reviews

this simple and beautiful house really close to the beach of copacabana is the most coolest place in rio, the people that works there really enjoy the fun side of travelling, they help you to find everything 24/7 , they take care of you like their own family and when you are travelling for so long its really important, i found not only a place to stay with cheaps prices and top breakfast with their own homemade meals , i found some new friends. even its really clean and comfortable.

El Misti has a cool vibe and helpful staff, and I'll return if I ever go back to Rio, but I do have two minor complaints: 1) there's some mold in some of the rooms, maybe because they're basement-like? and 2) they serve dinner every night which is a fabulous deal and seems really delicious.... but it takes up the kitchen for like 4 hours and the chef almost seems to take it personally when you don't eat "his food". So plan ahead or eat with the rest of them. Cheers!

Similar to staying in a prison.

Absolutely fantastic hostel with excellent location and the best staff :).... Hostel help us to arrange football match of Brazilian League and the staff was very helpful. Without any negative, everything was positive :)

I had an amazing time at Misti House. It\'s close to everything, it has a great atmosphere and decently comfortable beds. They also provide a complete and tasty breakfast. I wouldn\'t book in the 12 beds dorm at the basement (doesn\'t have any window). Fede and Claudia at the front desk rock! They were super nice and helpful (I\'d let Francisco know though he is working at a hostel and not at an ICU in a hospital. He was so annoying shushing everybody all the time). I\'ll definetely come back!

good staff, thanks to marina, really helpfull and good location, pretty close to copacabana beach.

Good hostel. Great location, 10 minutes from Copacabana beach and 5 minutes from a metro station. A really good breakfast in the morning (fruit, bread, cereal, cheese, toastie maker, pancakes...) and in the evening you can have a home-cooked meal for around 14Real. I was in the mixed dorm which had nice big lockers under the bunks to store your stuff.

Nice hostel, but rooms are pretty cramped. You have to pay for the internet and there is no TV room. It only has a makeshift bar at the weekends and they ask you not to bring in your own alcohol which is kinda annoying. The front desk staff are extremely helpful and very friendly. Location is nice and close to the beach. Had some money robbed out of my wallet, but if you have your stuff locked up should be no problems. A decent option for Rio.

Awesome owner, great location . 1 girl of the staff is kind of unfriendly

At El misti House I had the best breakfast ever in a hostel!!! There were some several fresh fruits, fresh juice, toast, bread, cheese, ham. It was excellent! The Hostel is very good located, its about 4 Blocks to the Beach, 1 Block to the metro and also the Airport Bus is very close. The only thing I didnt like was that you had to pay to use the computers. There is free WIFI, but for the computers you had to pay... thats sad.

Muy buena onda el MistiHouse, muy copados los chicos que laburan ahi!

I have had an awsome time at El Misti House! Besides the excellent location the atmosphere was amazing! The staff has always been extremely helpful and the breakfast was delicious-I'd always come back and warmly recommend your stay here:)

they really pack 'em in here. Three level bunk beds and rooms everywhere. It wasn't too loud or anything but there were always so many people around. Lots of activities and trips and deals available. Showers kinda suck and as there are so many people there is almost always a wait. Great location, walking distance to the beach. Staff were very helpful.

Great stay! Great friendly and helpful staff! A full hostel does mean a queue for the bathroom though which can be frustrating.

Rather cramped,but guess ididnt expect much else in Rio

I didn't like this hostel, although the staff were good and the location was good, the problem was the over-crowed rooms and noise at night. The place was clean and tidy though. I think I was just unlucky with the guests at the time ... rude Israelis, nuff said.

great staff and location

its really close to the beach in copacabana, and they have the most cool staff , they answer every question, every doubt and the show you every cool aspect of rio, specially claudia the daytime girl of the staff, its really clean and they even have cake and coffe in the afternoons and a exelent breakfast with fresh fruits and everything you want to start your day. i like this place because its feel like home, i totally recomend your stay there, its fun! and the most important, its safe!
