The place was really clean and taken care off. For a hostel it really seemed more of a guest house in terms of cleanliness. The garden with swimming pool is nice, there is a good outside space. We stayed in a private room with shared bathroom, the private room was exactly what we needed.

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.
