Guest Reviews

• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ismail (5/5): Meh - Good parts but not altogether - The location of the place was great. Close to the beach and train station. The bathrooms were clean and bed comfortable. There was just something off about the place to me as the individual parts are good like clean bathroom, comfortable beds and good staff but maybe it was the people in my room who were making noise all night and the room was hot with fans not always working and the room door not locking. I did not like that the room doors didn't lock. There is lockers in the room for big items and for valuables, there are lockers at reception. You need to bring your own lock for your valuables else they will sell you one.
• Génesis (6/5): Pleasant -
• Esperanca (9/5): Superb -
• Dimitri (9/5): Superb -
• Esperanca (7/5): Good -
• Agnes (9/5): Superb - Good breakfast but they canceled it after a few days.
• Luiz (10/5): Top notch hostel: spotlessly clean, lovely staff - Top notch hostel. Super clean, breakfast ten out of ten, staff very friendly and welcoming, all common areas and toilets spotlessly clean at all times (very rare in a hostel!). They really make you feel comfortable. Location is perfect, between Ipanema and Copacabana and very close to Cantagalo subway station. Very safe too, with lock by the door and a guard at the street where it is located.
• Enekin (10/5): Exceptional - The staff were absolutely amazing. All clean and comfortable! Safe area in Copacabana
• Emily (10/5): Exceptional -
• Yun (9/5): Superb -
• Rafał (9/5): Superb - super friendly hosts, good location, place extremely clean which is fantastic no bad experience :)
• Mariana (6/5): For the price, there is better. The female 6-bed dorm is awful. - Breakfast is decent (coffee, bread, cheese, cake, watermelon), Lucas the receptionist is so sweet and helpful. Location is amazing. avoid staying in the 6-bed female dorm. I've stayed in hundreds of hostel rooms and this was by far the most cramped. You cannot even move in the bathroom, you feel every movement of your bunkmate (whether youre on top or bottom). I had a look at the other dorms and, after realizing they were not as cramped as mine, I asked the receptionist if I could switch rooms. He said no because I booked the female dorm and thus payed more for it. He also got mad that I looked into the other rooms. Just super weird. Only stayed two nights so I sucked it up but did not sleep well. Also 0 atmosphere in the hostel but I knew that before booking. I did end up making friends during breakfast.
• B (7/5): Worth it - Great spot and comfy bed Broken locker and too quiet for me. Should be a little less pricey
• Roy (7/5): Good -
• Kah (8/5): Very good - The hostel is very near to the metro station about 10min walk with nice neigbourhood. Very easy to get around. There is a place for us to hand wash clothes and hang which I love the most. The toilets always clean and have paper towel. They switch on the AC from 9pm to 9am so you will have a good night sleep. The price is very high during sambodromo week and higher during the weekend.
• Jonathan (9/5): Superb - Ingor a nice and cool room. Even when a was turned off it was a nice fan in the room. I was on top floor in the last room. Not sure all rooms are that cool. Bed was really good. Breakfast was a bit weak, specially if you dont eat gluten. They had 2 different fruits
• Takahiro (9/5): Superb -
• Kevin (7/5): Great time - Everything Nothing
• Lima (8/5): Very good - Location Nada
• Nama (7/5): Good - The location was good, i felt safe. The staff was lovely. There is filmed locker so it felt safe to leave my belongings. Nice breakfast only bread and staff but fruits to. Over priced hostel by far. The room and the private shower was tiny!! The shower is not really hot. The floor was dirty. Not a social hostel
• Alfredo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Maurício (10/5): Perfect and amazing experience - Everything Nothing,everything was very good
• Omri (9/5): Superb -
• Frantchesco (7/5): Good -
• Yedidya (8/5): Very good - The beds are comfortable and if you get a down Bank bed then you have some privacy but if you get the upper ones then not so much. The staff are nice. The room is clean and they clean it everyday There are two stories for there a lot of stairs to get to your room. The cleanliness of the bathroom can be better. The breakfast is really small and not too many options The facilities can improve, one air conditioning in my room did not work at my last night, and specifically there was a problem with water and total for one night.
• James (10/5): Exceptional - As always….the staff ‼️🙏 Lucas and Emerson…great and welcoming…..super stay….will return 🫶🏼😎
• Rad (6/5): Pleasant - Location Not enough space. Very narrow
• Jonathan (9/5): Great staff! - The reception staff were great and were all helpful and friendly to me and could speak English. Victor was exceptional at all of the above and is a great asset to the business! Lucas also did a great job. The location is great as it's a short walk to Copacabana beach and the street the hostel is on has its own private security. The private double room was clean and comfortable with air conditioning. The bathroom facilities were good and were kept clean. I think the WIFI could be improved. My phone would disconnect from it from time to time due to the connection quality.
• Andressa (10/5): Exceptional -
• Yash (8/5): Not perfect but Decent value for money — recommend (with caveats) - For some reason the water supply in the second floor was too little regardless of the time of the day. I guess it has something to do with the water pressure because I would go to first floor bathroom and the water supply would be fine. Some bathrooms are way smaller than others so keep that in mind. It’s not super noisy which is good. Wifi works well so if you’re a digital nomad and need to actually focus on work and detach from party hostel vibe you can go here for 2/3 days to recharge. Note that it feels more like an airbnb and there’s no parties or events happening. They just tell you what you can see and do but that’s about it. Not necessarily goood or bad but something you seem to keep in mind. It’s very clean but don’t expect to meet fellow travellers or build connections. Staff if super helpful and I loved their breakfast too. You can work remotely from the common area in the lobby — plenty of tables and comfortable couch. Overall I give it as 7.5/10 because water supply was meagre on the second floor for the duration of my day (not just one day) but overall a decent place to stay.
• Mercia (10/5): - Muito boa ,hostel limpo ,bem localizado pessoal super educado parabens
• Elton (8/5): Very good -
• Jia (9/5): Recommended for a few nights stay - location was at copacabana, which was great. just a ten minute walk to the beach. pretty safe place to be. close to the closest metro. fellow hostel people were quite friendly. i liked that you can cook. the stairs were a little narrow and dangerous especially when it's raining. they should have more areas to dry clothes too. the hostel felt a little tight around some places.
• Padmini (9/5): Superb - Lovely helpful smiley staff, especially the day staff Lucas, he was wonderful! His tip to use uber motorcycles was the best time saver and adventure in Rio traffic. Not for faint hearted! Good breakfast of bread, cheese, meats, fruits, cereal but it starts only at 8 so I missed it a couple of times as I had to leave early for tours. There are only 4 bathrooms for the whole hostel but even though every dorm was full I never had to wait (I also kept slightly different timings to the weekend crowds) and they were clean all the time so the cleaning staff must be doing a good job. It's so great that they provide towels! Room itself was a bit small but had enough space for my bags with the locker. Bunk beds were creaky, you could easily scratch yourself with the zip ties used to hold the ladders in place, and they were not the most comfortable but after tiring days of enjoying Rio you really don't notice it much. The weather was grey and rainy the whole time I was there so everything was a bit wet and the room did get a bit stuffy. Great location, easy to get buses/metro or walk to the beach. Water tap outside great idea! Lots of stairs! See :)

• Mitchell (9/5): Superb - Lovely hard working staff , great location very safe, 5-10 mins walk to Copacabana beach. Modern clean bathrooms with hot showers and a good breakfast. Supermarket and restaurants bars close by.
• Giuseppe (8/5): - Bad Neighborhood
• Murilo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Adriano (10/5): Exceptional -
• Yannick (9/5): Quiet, decent, overall good - Clean hostel, friendly staff, cute cat and good breakfast. Overall good hostel in a quiet and secure area The only place to really get in contact with other people is the entrance area. It’s not bad but there are hostels whose infrastructure makes it easier to connect. To be fair though, there weren’t many guests when I was staying
• Carla (7/5): Good - The staff are very kind and helpful Windows dorm are too thin, we can hear every step taken in the street
• Vasja (5/5): Great hostel, but something was stolen. - Great Staff. Great Location. Relatively comfortable beds. Breakfast is basic but nice for the price. Bathroom facilities are also decent. The vibe in the place is also nice and you can meet some fellow traveller. Overall I highly recommend the hostel. Unfortunately, money was stolen from me in the hostel. This is of course a risk with all hostels, but the locks on the lockers in the room are NOT good enough. I was also NOT offered the option to leave my valuables at the reception. This ruined an otherwise great experience.
• Joscelin (10/5): Exceptional - Best hostel i have stayed at. Leaving.
• Mateus (8/5): Very good -
• Alejandro (9/5): Superb -
• Ofek (9/5): Superb - Excellent and helpful staff Big and clean room 5 minutes from the beach The breakfast had no proteins
• Fabio (9/5): Superb - The best hostel... Toilette Always clean! Breakfast super
• Michelle (10/5): Can't imagine a better stay in Copacabana - The guys at reception are an amazing help, full of knowledge and recommendations. The place is super clean. While I prefer separate showers and toilets, there are five complete bathrooms here, and I never had to wait for one. The breakfast is fantastic, and the group space is very wisely spread out.
• Anastasios (9/5): Excellent hostel - Very rear to find a hostel with such bathrooms. Both in availability and in sanitation. Very nice location. Nice rooms. Friendly staff. Overall definitely worth the stay. Value for money. The breakfast should be improved.
• Miguel (9/5): Superb -

• Narumi (10/5): Exceptional -
• Johannes (4/5): Disappointing -
• Leopold (10/5): Nice location! Top Staff! International Mix! - Staff is super friendly! Will help with everything, felt like home! They make a great difference!
• Natascha (10/5): Exceptional - The best hostel I stayed in in Rio! The staff is super amazing, always ready to help and super friendly (special thanks to Davi who saved me in so many situations). There is AC but the temperature can be adapted, so that you don't need to freeze to death like in so many other Rio hostels, also very good daily cleaning. There is also a common area to chill and meet people and the hostel is located in a safe area, close to the beach, restaurants and supermarkets.
• Perälä (10/5): Exceptional - Very peaceful and clean hostel and good breakfast.
• Brendon (8/5): Great location & safe,! - The guys at reception especially Rafa & victor were truly helpful, patient kind & always ready to go out of there way to help guests which is very important. Rooms were clean, comfy beds & good value of money. Maybe the hostel can organise some activities for guests.
• Ayesha (9/5): I had an amazing NYE - I liked the staff, the environment, communal space and the kitchen. The staff were really friendly and welcoming. Felt very safe. The room was very small for 6 bed female dorm hardly any space to move. The shower did not have a way to control the temperature. Either too hot or cold.
• Paloma (4/5): Disappointing -
• Jules (7/5): Good - Nice and helpful staff Comfy bed Good breakfast with a lot of options 5-8min from Copacabana beach Quiet location Rooms are slightly small Expensive for what it is (I paid approx 50€ per night for a private room without private bathroom)
• Lara (10/5): Excellent stay - I had a great stay at Matianellu. The hostel is clean and offers a delicious breakfast. The staff is very friendly and helpful!
• Frank (9/5): Superb - Close to the beach but far enough away to not be amongst the crowds.
• Roxanne (9/5): it's a vibrant hostel, from the front staffs, and the breakfast workers, the cleaning lady, the cleanliness, locatio - I like the location, safe feeling and the cleanliness. The excellent service from Devi, Victor, Mathew and Rafael. I especially thank for Victor who was like a travel guide giving me a lot of information about the city, places, metros and Favela areas to avoid. Thank Devi's flexibility as well
• Krishnanand (10/5): Exceptional -
• vitor (6/5): - Acho que os banheiros poderiam ser mais limpos, principalmente à noite.
• Georgios (8/5): Very good -
• Yaroslav (9/5): Stay was pleasant - Staff spoke English Bed could be softer
• Babs (10/5): Exceptional -
• Marcelo (10/5): Best price for a good room - Very good location in Copacabana The room was not very clean
• Kalina (5/5): Passable - Good rooms and regular cleaning No locks on the doors, no cameras. We felt unsafe. Pretty much anyone can enter as they wish. Someone came in our room in the middle of the night and went through our luggage. The staff was very nonchalant. As a foreigner I’d be vary of this place.
• Ivan (9/5): Superb -
• Raquel (9/5): Superb - Friendly staff, very well located right in Copacabana. Restaurants close, supermarket close, everything within walking distance. The beds were not comfortable and they were noisy.
• Iwan2022 (10/5): Exceptional -
• ursela (10/5): Excellent - Very nice, helpful, kind and super clean place. Thank you.
• Marco (9/5): Superb - The staff was super helpfull and friendly Wi fi wasn't alwayas working good
• (jimbo) (8/5): Perfect small friendly budget hostel - The staff was very nice, funny and helpful. Someone was always available for everything. The place is small and simple but very nicely decorated and with all the essential things you need and also very organised. The beds were comfortable (bunk beds) and a locker with clean bedsheets, towel, soap, shampoo and a blanket was provided and where you could store your basic valuables. Bonus point as also another more secure locker, by the reception, was available but did not need one. The rooms have a fan and AC (not needed for the season) can be used at night. All the failities and specially the toilets were always kept very clean and had hot water. Also an easy access space where to hang your wet stuff was provided which comes handy when spending a day by the beach. Breakfast was provided and while it was essential, it was good. I liked that the place was quiet at night, yet during the day you can socialise with the staff or other travellers. I think I managed to meet almost with anyone staying over and as I twas traveling alone I enjoyed the company of another guest for dinner at a local restaurant. Nothing particularly worth mentioning. I am sure there are closest places to the beach but it is only a short walk and probably makes it more quiet as well.
• Simmo (10/5): Everything was perfect, even extended my stay. - Everything!
• Jesús (10/5): Exceptional -
• Michael (8/5): Very good - I was super clean The rooms are too small
• Jesús (10/5): Exceptional -
• Villő (8/5): Good option for backpackers at Copacabana - The hostel is in a good location, it was all safe throughout our stay. The staff was very kind and helpful with everything we needed. We could cook for ourselves as there was enough equipment for that. The wifi connection in our room was really poor (there was connection only in one corner of the bedroom). There were no space to put our bags anywhere in the room but the floor, which was quite unconvenient. The breakfast was a bit boring with a few chioces.
• Nagendh (10/5): Exceptional - liked the location and friendliness of the care takers.
• Karim (9/5): Superb - Well located in Copacabana, bathrooms were clean, shower was fairly good. Towel and lock provided. Breakfast was also decent and bed comfortable Wifi is not very good in the room
• João (10/5): - Amei tudo. Hostel muito limpo e organizado. Vou voltar mais vezes.
• Worldlover23 (10/5): Exceptional - The staff is lovely and helpful
