I stayed at this hostel and had a very unpleasant experience. The room smelled bad and had visible mold. Security was a serious issue—there was possible tampering with belongings, and some money went missing. While it’s close to the Escadaria Selarón, the area feels unsafe, with many homeless people around. Overall, the combination of unhygienic conditions and security concerns makes this hostel hard to recommend.

Don’t stay here. Iexperienced active bed bug presence during my stay, including live adults and eggs near the bed area (approximately 30cm from my head). This was not a single stray insect.I also found live bugs in my luggage after it had been stored in the room.The showers were unclean, the toilets frequently did not flush and were often left full of feces, and the rooms were extremely hot and uncomfortable.This resulted in additional accommodation costs and major disruption to my trip.
