- Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.3Very Good - What previous guests thought, 873 reviewsGreat 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!Guest review byLucieSolo traveler

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! I wish I could have stayed longerGuest review byLouisSolo traveler

- Avg. price/night: $76.50Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.1Wonderful - What previous guests thought, 995 reviewsIt 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.Guest review byGabrielYoung couple
