This place needs shutdown or renovations. Over crowded rooms. Bathroom is horrible. Bathroom fittings are million years old. I burnt my skin because only hot water was coming from the shower and I was already wet to abandon my shower. But YES IT IS CONVENIENT FOR WHOSE WHO ARE THERE FOR A MATCH IN MARACANA. Unbelievably they charged me R$5 for a dirty smelly towel I requested. I’ve seen them giving out towels to the locals and didn’t charge them. Probably took tourist advantage. Even though camera installed they won’t take the responsibility if someone breaks the lock that I had to buy and put on their locker. If you are a tourist in Brazil ‘STAY AWAY’

Não fique, leia e entenderá! E eu não sou fresco.

O principal é, não fique. Pontos abaixo: - o atendimento é ruim, tem alguns rapazes que que moram lá, vivem de cara fechada, nunca conseguem ajudar. Uma pessoa pediu pra ligar a TV e ele simplesmente respondeu que não sabia ligar. Mas foi maldade, pois eu já vi ele ligando para outras pessoas, mas como estava no YouTube ele não quis tirar e inventou essa desculpa, então eu ajudei a pessoa que pediu. - a cozinha eles trancam as 22h, é um absurdo, eu estava terminando um lanche quando simplesmente passaram o cadeado na porta. Em um segundo momento eu tive que pedir pra abrirem para eu apenas pegar água. - Fogão, apenas 2 bocas funcionam e quase não tem panelas e utensílios, maioria quebrados. - banheiros ruins, sem espaço para se trocar e deixar as roupas, além de eu ter encontrado barata. - quartos, eles não dão lençol, e ainda falaram que o hóspede precisa pedir, pois as pessoas ficam pegando uma das outras, um deles teve a coragem de me justificar isso! - travesseiro parece de plástico, e a cama faz muito barulho, são no estilo beliche, velhas que rangem muito ! - lockers, nas fotos aparecem que não precisa de cadeado, mas na verdade são aqueles mais simples que você precisa de um cadeado, e eu tive que pagar 20 reais pelo cadeado. - geladeira, existem duas geladeiras, uma grande e um frigobar, é um absurdo eles deixarem a grande para os funcionários e todos os hóspedes precisarem dividir um frigobar. - Bom que fica ao lado do Maracanã a pé ! Mas, avalie se vale a pena
Ambiente sujo e mal preparado para receber pessoas
Instalações elétricas desprotegidas.
Banheiros apertados sem espaço para deixar uma roupa.

Horrível. Sem banheiro nos quartos mesmo individua

Peguei um quarto individual achando que tinha pelo menos o banheiro individual, mas não tinha banheiro no quarto. Nem fiquei hospedado. Quando soube que não tinha banheiro fui embora. Fora que o atendimento não foi bom. Estava falando emergia, faltando a pessoa da recepção, a faxineira que estava fazendo tudo, tentando ajudar no que podia.

Not clean but pure insanity! Recommended!

So I got there and instantly I wanted to leave. A pretty dirty and untidy place but I said that OK if I paid for 3 nights I should stay at least a night. One night turned into 2, then 3, 4. The freedom, the fun and the pure craziness that I got at this place is something that I never encountered before. One day there was no water, but it was double fun because of the volunteers working there, the other day there was no electricity and Valter, the owner instead of focusing on fixing it went and bought beers for everyone haha. This place is just insane, definitely not about the services that this hostel offers which is close to 0 (at least showers worked ok) but the people running it and those staying there (mostly argentinians) are well and above worth it! Recommended!
