Quite central and convenient. Kitchen area not great and the room was very noisy because it’s a lively area. Showers were very clean. Good for a night because of location but I wouldn’t pick this place for my full Rio stay

Two night trip

I was only there for two nights. They did a good job of letting me in and out of the building. They also let me store my belonging while I waited for check-in. That was very nice. The bathrooms weren't ideal. The part that I really struggled with was the horrible beds and the bugs that were everywhere while I slept. I probably got about twenty bug bites while staying in that hostel.

Foi um bate e volta, já conheço a localidade, o hostel fica num local bem localizado, fui bem recepcionado e bem atendido, como só fui para dormir, foi tranquilo, porque durante o dia não pode ligar o ar, só a noite, então pra ficar lá durante o dia é quente.

Well it was a place to stay but I cannot recommend it. First of all the place is very loud. Directly opposite of the hostel is an open club that plays music until 4 o'clock in the morning which you cannot ignore. Then the cleanliness of the hostel is mediocre. There is a kitchen in theory, but it's not a space one wants to stay nor is there equipment provided. I met a cockroach in my bed and the bathrooms are small dark spaces. At night the neighborhood is not safe and the hostel does not encourage meeting new people, so I cannot recommend it for solo travelers! Most disappointing was our luggage situation. We wanted to leave our suitcases there after check-out, just for a few hours until our flight, but it was not granted by the manager with the reason that there's no space. After some discussion it was clear that the manager was just after the money and we couldn't leave our bags there unless we booked a whole new night, hence we had to store our luggage at a random hotel for a small fee. Rest of the staff was friendly. All in all I can say that I will not come back and there are better options in the same price category.

Decepcionante!

Horrível!!! Vc paga por um quarto sem conforto e nada de privacidade. Prédio velho… preços altos…ducha fraca. Pedem pra não fumar no quarto mas o cheiro de cigarro de outros hóspedes invade áreas comuns. Atendentes debochados.

The place is fine. It's on a good location close to the centre and the main street of Lapa. My room was also pretty good, but I missed a fan. I was also a bit disappointed that the hotel did not provide towels, although you could rent them. In all, the stay was okay but service could've been a bit better.
