We stayed for New Years Eve, and a night either side. We booked this hostel specifically for the atmosphere geared up for the celebrations. Bar was great, and the staff made for a great atmosphere on NYE! Was great place to meet others and see in the New Year. As we stayed at this time, we paid quite an inflated price to stay here, which is understandable to an extent. But when you pay this amount, you'd expect some basics. For instance, if you're in a country that has poor sanitation, and toilet paper cannot be flushed down the toilet, then the bin needs to be emptied daily - didn't get done once for ourselves! Also, the only hostel I've ever stayed in where we had to pay for internet use! Location was a fair walk from the Copacabana, and involves going through a long tunnel, but do-able if you want to avoid the buses. Big shopping centre nearby. Great showers and great breakfast. Negative things aside, it delivered what we were looking for - a great night in Rio for New years. |

The place is very lively but they make a point of turning things off at 11pm if you want to sleep. There is nice local artwork on the walls and the rooms are comfy and well aired. There is a pool table, table tennis, video lounge, a climbing wall! and wifi (though you have to pay a small charge to use it). They provide a very good breakfast and you can even get a tasty lunch and dinner prepared by the in-house cook for a small fee. The staff are amazingly helpful and friendly, they make a point of remembering your name and will help with everything you ask. Highly recommended. |

Helpful staff, quirky layout (rooms & facilities in odd corners & galleries round a central open air space with a climbing wall), friendly bar |

Loved that it was not in the busy backpacker neighborhoods of Copacabana & Ipanema but in the residential neighborhood of Botafogo. Great staff, and a social atmosphere, easy to meet other travelers. And you also meet Brazilians who are in transition - looking for an apartment, or in university, etc. |

Homely and cosy atmosphere with great stuff. It is a place with character. One of the 6-bed female dorms has a view of Cordovana. The only downside is that some of the rooms are far away from the toilets, but everything else makes up for it. Greatly recommended! |
