Great location Only two blocks from the beach. In a &'safe&' area. Very near principal street Nossa Senhora. Very helpful and warm and friendly staff who speak wonderful English.

Hostel in good location, however there is no air-conditioning. Some of the staff are excellent, others are rude and unhelpful. Only one computer. Good social atmosphere - only don't get the room next to the courtyard.

Great place to stay. The only problem was a few bed bugs but the guys sorted the problem out as soon as we said and there were no problems after. Tom and Ricardo are great fun and organise lots of cool nights out. I would stay again. Fantastic meeting area pretty clean.

Staff were helpful, located extremely close to Copacabana beach, breakfast was typical for Brazil.

Hostel was well located. Very safe and secure. I stayed in a private room, had a double bed and a set of bunk beds. I am not sure about the dormatories but many people staying there seemed happy. My room was located 2 metres from the main outside meeting area with table and chairs for people. I stayed friday night so of course would be noisy but was only too eleven or so and then people went out. The main problem was the mattresses in all the beds in the room. They visually were not clean and smelt very badly. The pillows also smelt so bad. There was no sheets just a blanket which I guessed had been changed. The private bathroom was clean but smelt badly of bad water and sewerage when toilet or shower was used, door was broken so this couldn't be reduced. I paid 100 reals for one night which for 50 more I could get a good hotel. People very friendly though in hostel, especially the girl at the desk was an angel and very helpful as was the lady serving breakfast. Breakfast was a good standard. Security very good for people entering, although when leaving luggage during the day after checking out its in an unlocked room but there is someone watching all day. Overall I wouldn't recommend the private room but would recommend the hostel, especially for somewhere friendly, secure, with internet, breakfast, good place to meet people and 2 min walk to copacobana beach.

Great atmosphere, really friendly staff, only 2mins walk from the beach! Only improvement would be aircon but we found it a great spot to stay!

A bit noisy hostel, nice to meet people. Properly situated near to Copacabana beach and with a very helpful staff.
