    Changing the breakfast every other day or two days would have been nice. Overall, wonderful spot!

    The staff was so kind! The facilities were clean and maintained. I really loved the yoga and meditation room.

    Matrasses are made of plastic, I shared the dorm with a group of young Argentinians, who could have been a little bit more considerate (which, of course, the hostel is not to blame for)

    Friendly place, well managed, clean, quiet, good Wi-Fi, air-con was working well (and wasn't noisy either), spacious 6-bed-dorm, little breakfast included. Close to Centro, the area is a little deserted, but well lit at night, I felt safe when walking there at night. It is a place I definitely consider to stay again when coming again to Rio.

    Beautiful hostel and facilities, very clean and relaxing. They offer yoga and meditation classes that are the best you can experience. There is always a very relaxed atmosphere with background music that it is a pleasure to stay in their beautiful living room. Excellent predisposition of the staff and very good vibes from the guests and Marcus.

    Whilst the location, the breakfast, the common room, even the added perks such as a yoga room and a reading room are all excellent features to make this hostel a great one, what really sets it out is the staff who are all without exception incredible and dedicated and oh so nice! They have become more than providers of a service to a customer but rather friends to me.

    The yoga classes were only on Mondays and Wednesdays

    We stayed in this hostel for 4 nights during Carnival 2023. The host was very helpful and informative upon arrival. Security was excellent and we felt safe at all times. The hostel was quiet and peaceful despite carnival being on outside. Good breakfast and chilled common area. The dorms were large and had working WiFi and air-conditioning

    A unique concept, a yoga hostel in the centre of one of the biggest and busiest metropolitan cities in the world, Rio de Janeiro... A true oasis! As a backpacker I found my inner peace at this hostel, having breakfast every morning while being greeted by a hummingbird. Then using the yoga and meditation rooms, which allowed to start my day zen.

    The breakfast could be a little bit richer, but these are details

    The atmosphere is very unique, and it's exactly what you would expect from a hostel based on yoga and meditation philosophy. Clean and relaxed, a great way to disconnect from Rio (There was even some sort of Reiki music on the corridor). Top quality hygiene and cleaning. Been travelling for 5 months in South America, and this was my favourite place so far, highly recommended

    The receptionist was so slow as if she was heavily sedated... And a weird yoga music was playing all the time. The area is very unsafe and they question you before unlock the front door for 5 minutes..

    VERY DISAPPOINTING experience, bed was super UNCOMFORTABLE, without personal light and NO railings so it’s very DANGEROUS you might fall off esp if you’re on the very top. Reception closes by 12midnight. Breakfast was just 2 pieces of toast/cake/fruit/coffee compared to the other places like discovery and selina they are way behind. Was also charged a cancellation fee of R111 for a dorm room which they refused to waive partially at least since I already paid half (one night before). Owner says he needs to “take the money” because of the pandemic but like the pandemic is actually over. ps. there is also no yoga available as advertised on Fri & weekends. Wonder why it’s 9.3 rating very misleading! Location is also super far from the main beach like Copacabana/ Ipanema, wouldn’t recommend.

    Did not enjoy it

    It is a relatively new hostel with great potentials to become excellent. However, the top beds (3-stuck) and the top lockers were very high which was not comfortable. The bathrooms could be cleaned more often, especially when the hostel is fully booked. Occasionally the wifi was weak at the room. The breakfast was quite basic and the same all the 4 days I stayed. The area was a bit dodgy at night, also staying at downtown Rio area means that you are relatively far from many of the important sights. Some parties took place at a building nearby for 2 nights so there was music all night long.

    I stayed at the 6-bed female dorm. The staff was very friendly and I aplreciated that someone was always at the reception. Overall it is quiet and with nice vibes.

    many things :( I did not enjoy my staying. there is a reason why the place is empty... but somehow, guests are smart and know to avoid this place.

    Marcus the owner, he is a good guy.
