- Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.2Very Good - What previous guests thought, 286 reviewsOh well, in my opinion, this is really a hardcore backpackers hostel and not necessarily for more mature travelers looking for a decent but affordable accommodation but here are the details. Good: refrigerator in the room desk in the room very good internet good lighting safe area and safe placeGuest review byWalterSolo traveler
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.4Wonderful - What previous guests thought, 36 reviewsThis was one of the best hostels l have ever stayed at because it felt like real home. The place is clean and beautiful with many art images around and feels safe. The manager of hostel is very kind and it’s a great atmosphere all around. The location is good, you need walk uphill for few minutes but for me that was not an issue. l can recommend if you are looking for a hostel with character that feels like being at home.Guest review byMaksymSolo traveler
- Avg. price/night: $141.81Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.7Excellent - What previous guests thought, 1,530 reviewsThe location is perfect and in a safe area, so it‘s a good place to explore Rio. The hostel has a bar, where you can hang out, meet new people and have some drinks, between 20:00 - 20:30 there‘s free caipirinhas all you can drink, in combination with party vibes, so it‘s good pre-gaming. Staff is super helpful, Tai is an angel, you can always ask for recommendations. Also, everyday they organize events that one can join.Guest review byEmilTravelers with friends

Well organised. In a safe area of rio and next to copacabana. One of the best hostels I have stayed in! I had an emergency situation that made me change my booking and the owner Thibeau was very comprehensive and helped me a lot to sort everything out. Thank you so much! I wish I could have stayed longerGuest review byLouisSolo traveler
- Avg. price/night: $44.97Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.8Excellent - What previous guests thought, 892 reviewsThe best hostel I stayed in in Rio! The staff is super amazing, always ready to help and super friendly (special thanks to Davi who saved me in so many situations). There is AC but the temperature can be adapted, so that you don't need to freeze to death like in so many other Rio hostels, also very good daily cleaning. There is also a common area to chill and meet people and the hostel is located in a safe area, close to the beach, restaurants and supermarkets.Guest review byNataschaSolo traveler

- Avg. price/night: $93.75Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.0Wonderful - What previous guests thought, 1,005 reviewsIt is important to put the whole review in the context of the New Year's party. The whole copacabana is exorbitantly expensive, so the prices for the two-bed rooms here were at a level where you can sometimes go to a 5* hotel in europe. Accordingly, it was disappointing to sleep on plasticised beds and plasticised pillows. All in all, however, it is a very nice hostel, in a great location, safe and with lots of activities.Guest review byGabrielYoung couple
