A good, no-frills, does-the-job, steady hostel that basically has everything you need. Interesting location in that, while not immediately next to anywhere special, it is centrally located to everywhere youd want to visit so that a short bus trip or a healthy walk is all that is needed to get anywhere (eg 30 minute walk over the hill to Copacabana). The location in a quiet street near to a supermarket and shopping centre was a bonus. Overall, a good place to stay. |

Location but not as fun or social at all or at least not like the photos on the wall portray |

The location and the atmosphere. We didn't like the fact that upon arrival they had no idea we booked the hostel, and since the night watch person didn't know how to check reservations on the web we had to wait for 2 hr. till the morning shift person arrived. and even after he arrived he didn't check the reservation and only after we asked him to check after waiting for an additional for half an hour did he bother to check. |

The location was excellent. Helena, the owner, and Leo, the manager are always on hand to help and has loads of info on whats going on. Great atmosphere. The BEST breakfast in Brasil so far. I had a great time there. |

I liked the entrance to the property and the breakfast was good. Quiet also ouside at night cos located on side road just off Prai de Botafogo, the main shopping street. Downside : room big enough but made of cardboard walls (private room) so could hear neighbours a bit. |

We really enjoyed our stay at Alpha hostel. We had the private room and a tiny balcony. The bathrooms were on the same floor (always a plus) The kitchen was well equipped and actually usable (unlike some places we've been) They had a book exchange and movies to watch, access to internet and the staff were all friendly and helpful. It was hard to leave! |

Good location - close to metro, buses, shopping mall and in a safe area. Otherwise, a fairly average experience - no private ensuite room for first 2 nights although we booked for this, intermittent hot shower, noisy courtyard outside room. They're renovating so hopefully this will make it all better. |

The location was good, if you catch the bus make sure you tell the bus driver where you want to get off or he will drive right past. Nice rooms, typical Brasilian breakfast and very helpful staff |
