This is a great hostel. It’s clean and feels safe, there’s loads of activities going on (which is a great way to meet other guests) and the staff are amazing (shout out to Eric and Lua!). It’s a great place for a solo traveller to meet people.

The beds are too short for the average European to sleep straight.

Vicinity to the beach.

Overall, it was ok.

Clean rooms, comfortable beds, helpful staff. Safe area. They had all sorts of free drinks in the evening. Also, they organized events for tourists. Although it was loud downstairs, the noise dind't reach the room.

I can confidently say this is the best hostel I've ever stayed at! From the moment I arrived, I felt at home. The warm and welcoming staff made my stay absolutely fabulous. They go above and beyond to ensure guests feel comfortable and cared for. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a home away from home! Great Location!

Best staff ever

Listening to my roomie snore all night (out of the hostel's control haha!)

Very friendly and attentive staff. Free welcome drink. Bed linen included (byo towel) Discount on future stays after first visit. Curtains, charging ports, and night lights for each bed. Reasonable price. Compact, basic rooms - good for people who want to see the sights during the day and not hang around at the accommodation. Welcoming bar New friends from around the world. It's in a safe area right near Ipanema beach. I enjoyed my stay.

Staff at times was a bit pushy to order drinks or food, seemed fake friendship by times. Staff enter the rooms at everytime without knocking the doors and also start cleaning stuff way before the checkout hour. Cocktails had too much ice and not enough caipirinha and were a bit overpriced.

Location, this place is just 2 streets away from the beach Ipanema. Good WiFi, comfortable beds with curtains, clean bathrooms. Cool staff.

It wasn't really the hostel's fault but I had to change to a private room after first night, I got the top bunk and it was so high for me I hurt my feet. Decoration in the shared bedroom they're windowless boxes resembling hospital's rooms. I think there was mold in the new room due to no ventilation and humidity. Kitchen stairs' design wasn't safe. Kitchen utensils were in bad state and uncleaned.

Location (safe and nice area) and the staff is friendly to be Rio. Free beach chair and umbrella for one day. Having a microwave.

The beds are literally like a gymnastics mat. They are not comfortable and to make matters worse, the pillows are also this gymnastics mat material. There was one bed in my dorm room that was a regular fabric soft mattress. If they were to upgrade all of the mattresses and pillows to this softer more regular mattress this hostel would be alot alot better. The drinks downstairs are very weak and not worth the money and charging R$7.70 Reais for a large water bottle is taking advantage of foreigners. Drinks on their new bar rooftop are a bit stronger.

The easiness to make friends here is exceptional. You can make friends within your first 10 minutes in this hostel and all go together to the beach. That’s pretty awesome. The location is great, safe, and a block from one of the best beaches in Rio. They have their own kiosk on the beach that is half off umbrellas and chairs for guests, as well as one time being free. They are located in area filled with amazing restaurants all around.

Super friendly staff

This hostel was in a fantastic location just a block walk from the beach and they even give you a free day of umbrellas and chairs on the beach. They have an event manager who is super friendly and keeps everyone aprised of all the activities in the hostel and organizes taxis and people so everyone is included. My friend and I booked a private room which was really nice. It had 4 bunk beds and we booked it as a 2 person private. It would have been quite crowded with 4 people as the room and the bathroom were quite small, but it was fine with just 2 of us. The hostel bar and restaurant is nice and the food is good. All of the staff are incredibly kind and friendly.

Friendly staff and amazing location - just a short stroll away from Ipanema Beach. The free cocktail for each guest was appreciated.

There is only 1 bathroom in a dorm of 12 people which isn’t really a big problem and a reality of shared rooms, but there is often people’s towels and clothes in the bathroom but they are cleaned regularly. The beds are not the most comfortable things, they are lined with plastic, obviously for sanity reasons but it’s just never gonna be the most comfortable to sleep on plastic even through a sheet.

The location of the hostel is amazing, the beach and all amenities close by. The energy and vibes of the people from all walks of life staying at the hostel were perfect. The hostel partners with a beach stand (Barraca) that allows people staying at the hostel to have a chair and umbrella on the beach which adds a level of comfort and security to going to the beach.
