Fabulous

No frills, ultra tight knit and social hostel located in Cotacabana which is one of the prominent party areas of Rio. Hostel at a walking distance to most places - however the hostel is not air conditioned, and Rio can get very hot, besides being humid year round. Events hosted at the hostel bring everyone together and the staff is very resourceful with everything including planning tours, guides and also went out of the way and helped me with a local sim card!Bring bath-towel, they don't rent.
