When I first arrived here, the staff were pretty abrupt but they actually turned out to be really helpful and kind, just took a bit of warming up. The facilities are more than adequate, the pool is a lovely bonus and the breakfast is definitely one of the better ones I've had.

The hostel is very good, the only thing that i would improve is the mood of one of the guys of the staff. He wasn´t willing to answer any question

I stayed for two nights, it was good. Location is brilliant, right between Ipanema/Leblon beaches. Breakfast was good, with a variety to choose from. The ladders to the top bunks are strange and don't feel too safe, so opt for the lower bunk. Air conditioning left on throughout the night which made it really cold.

Air conditioning should start 1 hour earlier... it's too hot.

Nice place, clean and excellent staff! The price is due to the place, a little bit more expansive than the others, but undersysndable. Would recommend it! Staff helps with every single problem, very atencious and friendly.
