For sure one of the best hostels in which I've stayed. The location is amazing, 5 minutes walking from Ipanema Beach and Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon. Services are very good, and the owners and workers are really nice. Next time in Rio I'll be there again!

Très bien situé à Lapa, douches et sanitaires apparemment neufs et propres mais manque de respect de certains clients qui jettent leurs papiers toujours à côté de la poubelle. Notre petit dortoir où il y avait 15 lits avait 2 portes et était traversé continuellement par des gens

The "vaccination shots", as invented and administered by the hostel's genial and creative host are a welcome and tasty way to start an evening's polite revelry. As well as being surprisingly delicious, they claim to work as protection against the threat of yellow fever, dengue fever and

Strong factors: excellent location, fun and good environment.
Weak points: frozen water and price.
I would definitely give a very high grade because has everything I always look for in a hostel, but... Who stays in a hostel definitely is never looking for luxury, but warm/hot water is a

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

The location isn't convenient. You have to go up a steep hill to get to the hostel and before that you'll have to walk through a dark alley. The staff is nice, but doesn't speak that good English. The rooms were clean and the bathrooms too, except the showerdoors won't close, because there

The room that we stay has a very strong smell of mold. It was a private room and it has no shutter at the big window, that opens to the social area of the hostel. In this area, it has also a lamp that stays on all the night.
The photos at the site don't show the real ambience and the

The bunk bed mattress and pillow were thin and hard. The guy on reception during the day wasn't very helpful. The wi fi wasn't strong enough to receive a signal in the dorms upstairs. The building wasn't clearly marked so when I arrived I wasn't sure I was in the right place.
