“The pool was perfect for cooling off after a hot day exploring. The bar had cheap beers and fun parties every night. The staff were super friendly and made us feel like family. Safe location close to the beach. Great value. The morning cleaner was the happiest person ever. Lots of helpful tips and tours available. An amazing experience.”

“With my wife and children, we had a great time visiting Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain, both easy to reach from the hostel. The cable car up Sugarloaf was a hit with the kids, and the views from the top were breathtaking. Staff gave us clear directions. Affordable prices, and the location near the beach and metro made everything more convenient.”

9.1Verified guest

“The staff made sure we had a lovely time in Rio. Location was perfect, a short walk to beaches and the shopping street. Our clean, comfortable room had efficient air conditioning. Showers and toilets were well-maintained, and the fast Wi-Fi kept us connected. The organized staff gave us great city tips. We loved the bar's caipirinhas during happy hour. Minor issues like few power points and busy bathrooms were outweighed by the overall experience. Highly recommend.”
