"Kā Borats saka: Very nice, I like it. Rio ballītes izcilas."

10.0

Izcils party vibe. Ja neesi tusētājs, tad šī vieta nebūs tev, bet ja patīk ietusēt, tad vieta ir izcila. Labs 'community spirit'. Brokastis bija ok, beer pong izcili, galda spēles un saziņa ar citiem iemītniekiem arī ok. Personāls ļoti draudzīgs un atsaucīgs un pats galvenais - uzticas viesiem. Happy hour izcili.

maza alus izvēle. Būtu arī labi, ja istabas būtu slēdzamas ar pieeju tikai tiem, kuri tur apmetušies nevis jebkuram, kurš ir ticis iekšā Hostelī. Būtu labi, ja arī pats hostelis piedāvātu veļas mazgāšanas pakalpojumu.

"Decepcionante"

2.0

Localização.

Escolhi pela avaliação alta, mas foi uma decepção. O quarto que reservaram para mim (n° 3) estava sujo, com odor azedo, cheio de roupas e calçados espalhados pelo chão. A cama não estava pronta (e talvez seja melhor assim, porque havia roupas e peças íntimas de outros hospedes em cima). Quando questionei se a cama estava mesmo disponível, a atendente perguntou se eram de um rapaz que estava deitado na cama de baixo e deixou na escada da beliche. As roupas de cama pareciam OK, mas a toalha estava bastante gasta. Banheiros são pequenos e apertados, sem local para pendurar roupas e acessórios. Suporte de papel higiênico reserva muito perto da lixeira, assento sanitário gasto. À noite, alguém deixou uma toalha de banho sobre a pia. Não tive coragem de dormir em um ambiente tão insalubre, tanto que fui embora de madrugada, mesmo tendo pago duas diárias. Acredito que higiene e limpeza deveriam ser prioridades de todo hostel, justamente por ser um espaço coletivo. Entendo que os hóspedes precisam fazer sua parte, mas a equipe precisa fazer valer as regras de convivência, não ficar "passando a mão em cabeça de gringo". Eu geralmente confio no sistema de avaliações da Booking, e só reservo hostels com notas altas, mas não é a primeira vez que tenho uma surpresa ruim com a acomodação.

"It's Rio"

8.0

It's definitely a party hostel. From 7pm to 11pm there's LOUD music playing as a warm-up for any parties the hostel people might be heading to in the city. It's impeccable how everyday there are activities to do so it's pretty easy to connect with new people. I'm a solo traveler and this was one of the few trips I haven't been alone for not even 5 minutes because there was always some company. The cleaning ladies are so lovely and kind too, they always keep the hostel super clean and fresh. The beds are SUPER comfortable. Breakfast is pretty much the same everyday but it's enough to keep you full until lunch time. Also, hostel is located in a key part of the city, very accessible to public transportation, but you gotta be careful around.

I think the hostel lacks the basic: curtains for the bed, a little shelf to support your phone while it's charging (also the USB entrances of my bed were super noisy, probably having electrical issues). Except for the guy who takes the late night shift and is always wearing a cap, who was always super kind and sympathetic, the staff lacks good manners. I'm not talking about volunteers, because all of them were wonderful people and the hostel seems to know how to pick its volunteers but the actual staff need a wake up call.

"Decent place for a 1 night stay"

8.0

Staff here were friendly. Sketchy part of town- felt super unsafe in the area as lots of homelessness. Very very young crowd- party atmosphere. Very good breakfast served.

No working air con in the room- heat at night made it unbearable to sleep. A very lively and young hostel. Be prepared for coming in at 2/3am and crashing around in dorms.
