About

+30 HOSTEL (or just for old souls, no minimum age, it's just a recommendation)
After traveling through many countries and staying in various hostels, hotels, guesthouses, friends' houses, relatives' houses, and friends of friends' houses, we realized that there was a type of accommodation missing: one that offers privacy and comfort while allowing you to meet new people.
Also we needed more amenities, rather then making a lot of extra payments... We needed a good towel to take a good shower after a long trip. But it doesn't mean that we wanted to stay in a hotel, or in someone else's house.

Amenities (NO EXTRA FEES):
- Early Check In at the House (starting at 8am)
- Late Check Out at the House - (11am to 11pm)
- Shower after Check Out
- Place to keep your luggage after checkout
- All sizes pets friendly
- Express Check In
- Good shower + Hot Water
- Good Quality Toilet Paper (we guarantee)
- Hand Soap (you can use for body too)
- Hair Dryer (and it's good)
- Clothes Iron (I still don't know why you use it)
- Private use Bathrooms (It's not a gym bathroom, full of doors and people using at the same time, it's a real bathroom, where you can sit, where the Wi-Fi works, where you can have privacy)
- Space in the fridge
- Free Coffee (if you are +30 we highly recommend avoid drinking after 3pm)
- Electric Ketel (would you like some tea, sir?)
- Filtered and Cold Water (don't need to buy the essential elixir of life, here is FREE)
- Microwave and a stove
- Option of kitchens utensils


That's where the idea for Chez Zany was born - a space designed for interactions among guests and comfortable beds, spacious rooms, and bathrooms. To create the greatest sense of comfort, we eliminated the reception, bar, and anything that would bring a commercial atmosphere.

Chill oasis in Copacabana — on the smaller side so not so many people coming and going but muito tranquilo and friendly folks.

Really lovely hostel in a great location - so close to Copacabana beach! Free coffee all day and a good shared kitchen space. Loved that there were no bunk beds in the dorm. All the volunteers were super friendly and it was easy to socialise with the other guests. The free breakfast on Saturday was great.
