Aurora Hostel Rio

Stayed for 1 month and had a great experience. The staff were the best part — super friendly, welcoming, and made it easy to settle in and meet people. I stayed in one of the upgraded rooms and really enjoyed it. My only suggestion would be to update some of the kitchen amenities (pots and more cups). Overall, I’d definitely stay again.

The location was good, pretty close to everything. The facilities were also pretty new, especially the room that gave you a lot of privacy. The toilets were modern, but sadly they were rarely cleaned and were filled with shit not only inside but also on top of the toilet seat. The hostel's occupancy was low, which led me to suspect that the staff's behaviour may be to blame. The staff were also not helpful, not showing me around the hostel and making me spend 10 minutes three mornings in a row on them figuring out whether I paid for breakfast or not...

Kind staff and clean hostel but I was freezing at night. They put the air conditioner on 20 degrees (they changed to 24 after asked), give you a sheet as a "blanket" and if you ask for a normal blanket you have to pay a fee.
