This hostel is great for meeting people, the breakfast is also very nice. The staff are really really helpful and give really good advice. Bad points are there is no aircon and the rooms are actually hotter than outside. It was 31 degress at night where we were there so you can imagine how hard to was to sleep. Also the cleanliness of the bathrooms was really poor. There is also lack of bathrooms for the amount of people staying in the hostel. I ended up waiting for the bathrooms for about 15mins everytime. There is also a problem with the lockers - there are situated under the beds and are not very secure at all. I would advise you to go to this hostel if you want to meet people, we started our travelling in this hostel straight from UK and it was abit of a culture shock. But the staff are very very helpful especially Danny xxxx |

Had a great time! Would definitely recommend the place to other backpackers. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere and lots of other travellers to hang around with. Also, awesome caipis ;) |

This hostel is a real disaster! The rooms are dirty with no clean sheets, the staff is really careless there and it is not safe. Everyone can enter the other rooms even if you booked a private room (the just tell everyone to take the key themselves from the reception). The breakfast is ok even if I had at least 3 hairs in between my ham and cheese. The botafogo beach nearby is the dirtiest in Rio and overall the price and what you get for it is really not good. I just can say we stayed in 7 different hostels during our stay in Brasil and Argentina and this was really the worst of all. |

In Botafogo, a suburb - not fully in the action, but able to get metro and buses easily. Located in between beaches (Copacobana/Ipenema) and the centre which is quite good. Bathrooms old fashioned. Bedrooms quite cramped, 3 bunk beds x2. Good breakfast - toasted cheese & ham, juice, cake, french bread Bar and nightly dinner options Offers full range of tours Overall good option if you dont need luxury |

Good location with views of Corcovado and Sugar Loaf. However you arrive (bus or air), there is free pick up, free breakfast (they have eggs!) and a free caipirinha your first night! The staff is friendly and fluent in Spanish, Portuguese and English. The hostel is on a major bus route but there is no vehicular noise. The hostel has a nice chill vibe which gets a little samba funk-y later on. It's the hostel to hang out at or get a recommendation for night time activities around town. |

We have been to El Misti and Pousada Aquario, not to Pousada Rio de Janeiro. El Misti has a very good breakfast and offers you a very good dinner for an acceptable price. |
