If you need a hostel and have a budget, this could work. Room doors lock with card locks, feels secure. It seems social, although there may be noise at all hours of the day. Location is great. I'd suggest to staff: fitted bed sheets and a wood stick to prop open room windows, these would make a big difference. Fair warning: two monkeys may show up at breakfast and use a distraction technique to steal your breakfast (I don't think they were guests or staff).

Socially this hostel is quite good but out of six months I’m travelling all over South America these were the worst dormitories I have seen.

Hostelworld says

CabanaCopa is set next to Morro de S?o Jo?o park, just a few minutes? walk from Copacabana beach. This clean, friendly hostel offers a good balance of nightlife and quiet atmosphere, with an onsite bar open until around 10pm. It also has some nice little essential features, like a varied breakfast and plug sockets at each bed. Hostelworld guests tell us they?d stay here again and will recommend it to friends.
