The toilet wasn't working half of the time, and out of 3 showers only 1 was working. Besides the windows in the doors didn't allow for much intimacy. Very loud.

(1) the hostel has no reception! Although yes, it's mentioned in the the webpage, it is merely a one sentence mention of that, little wonder that people would miss it. (2) yes, direct tansfer to the hostel, but does not mention how long. Took us close to 40 minutes to get to the hostel (3) rooms smelt of dank sweat. Rooms are very cold at night as rooms have little/no heating. (4) breakfast not provided (5) Facilities mentioned on the website indicated hairdryers, but no hairdryers werefound

It surpassed our expectations ... The rooms are spacious, everything was very clean, the location is perfect (2minutes from the metro station of Lapa, 5 minutes walk from the heart of the city. We had everything we need at the door - supermarket, pharmacy, bakeries, restaurants) The staff gave us all the information we needed to know the whole city. The relationship quality \ price is very good
