It feels like a resort! So beautiful, lots of great spaces, the breakfast was outstanding, the staff were delightful, the beds were private and comfortable, it’s very secure and the surroundings are safe… it was like a perfect hostel! I wish I could’ve stayed longer.

One of the best hostel I’ve ever stayed! The place is incredible and clean, the staff is so kind and makes you feel like home, and even better than that. The swimming pool and the private mountain with the amazing view on Rio are the cherries on the top. I highly recommend it!

I really love the location of this hostel - I could do sunbathing anytime at Ipanema beach as it's located just a block away from the main beach road. It's so easy to mingle and connect with other solo travellers as they have a series of events on a daily basis to join (some are free) and people are so willing to open up and befriend you. The location is generally safe on the day and good for beginners and those travellers who are new to Rio. Awesome 24 hour security. Convenience stores and many restaurants nearby. Customer discounts for dine-in in the Misti bar for staying at the property. Everyone treats you like a close friend and a great family. I can't wait to go back some time in the future. Free storage after checkout.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The location is perfect and in a safe area, so it‘s a good place to explore Rio. The hostel has a bar, where you can hang out, meet new people and have some drinks, between 20:00 - 20:30 there‘s free caipirinhas all you can drink, in combination with party vibes, so it‘s good pre-gaming. Staff is super helpful, Tai is an angel, you can always ask for recommendations. Also, everyday they organize events that one can join.

Great location in Botafogo, close to metro line and felt safe as a solo traveler. Cute breakfast with fresh cakes every day, nice outdoor area. The 2 cats of the hostel are very nice and social! The WiFi worked very well. The kitchen is great, clean and very organised, it was probably my favourite part!

Beautiful hostel, very clean. Terrasse on rooftop. Very social vibes. Well organised. In a safe area of rio and next to copacabana. One of the best hostels I have stayed in! I had an emergency situation that made me change my booking and the owner Thibeau was very comprehensive and helped me a lot to sort everything out. Thank you so much!

It is important to put the whole review in the context of the New Year's party. The whole copacabana is exorbitantly expensive, so the prices for the two-bed rooms here were at a level where you can sometimes go to a 5* hotel in europe. Accordingly, it was disappointing to sleep on plasticised beds and plasticised pillows. All in all, however, it is a very nice hostel, in a great location, safe and with lots of activities.
