We stayed here for seven nights and it was flawless from start to finish. We booked both a private room and a shared dorm, and every experience was excellent. The rooms and common areas were always spotlessly clean—really pleasant to be in. Hot water was available every single night, which is a big plus. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming with constant smiles. We absolutely loved spending our week here! The location is perfect—just a 5-minute walk to the metro station.

The hostel is conveniently located near the metro, making it easy to get around Rio. However, the staff experience was extremely disappointing. We had to ask permission every time we wanted to store or retrieve items from the shared fridge—repeated requests made it incredibly inconvenient. In the morning, we needed our breakfast supplies right away, but were forced to wait two hours because the owner refused to let us access our things until the cleaner arrived, even though it was just one floor up. When I went to get my stuff, the owner became angry, yelled at me, and used a disrespectful term I won’t repeat. At that point, we left immediately. While the location is good and prices are reasonable, the lack of basic respect and poor communication completely ruined our stay. Not worth it.

It made our arrival so much more relaxed and enjoyable. From start to finish, this was an outstanding experience. Highly recommend this gem to anyone visiting Rio!
