The hostel is about 10 minutes walk from the center and 15 minutes from the Rodoviaria. The supermarket also 10 minutes. The kitchen has all necessary equipment. I slept in a comfy bunk bed. I really had a good time here.

The overall vibe of the hostel is very sociable. The hostel has common areas - all well decorated and well furnished - that make socializing easy, including a kitchen, lounge, outdoor furniture, and a pool. The staff also contribute to the friendly social vibe, epecially Alexandre who was a great conversationalist. At the same time, the staff also keep the hostel clean, organized and safe. I appreciated all the efforts made to keep the hostel clean. I also appreciated Luciano's professionalism and management.

Great hostel with very friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms and a very nice vibe created socially. Private room is big and a nice balcony. Shared rooms are comfortable as well. I normally was staying 2 nights in Rio but I cancelled next location because I had very good fun. Location also perfect, middle of Ipanema, with best supermarket closeby, safe street.

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.
