I had a really nice time at this hostel! The staff were so incredibly helpful and kind, always smiling and offering suggestions on places to visit. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach and with easy access to public transport. My room was simple but clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again if I ever return to Rio!
Great location, very close to the beach! Staff were friendly and helpful. Simple but clean rooms. Good value for money.
Had a great time! The hostel is in a perfect spot, so close to the beach! Staff were friendly. Room was fine.
Pretty good hostel, really! The staff were super friendly and helpful, always ready with a smile and a tip for exploring the area. My room was clean and comfortable enough, and the location was fantastic - easy walking distance to the beach and lots of restaurants. I especially loved being able to easily access public transportation. While the breakfast wasn't amazing, it was perfectly adequate to fuel up for a day of sightseeing. Overall, a pleasant stay for the price.
This place is a total find! I loved the location - so close to the beach and easy to get around. The staff were awesome - always happy to help. The rooms were clean and comfortable and had everything I needed. For the price, it can't be beat!
