close to metro and bus station.offering free ,but great buffet breakfast

Bonnie, Canada

Great value for money. Staff were very nice. Decent breakfast. Location was great

Liamlaura, Ireland

the breakfast was good, strong wifi, toilets were kept clean, rooms were big enough, receptionist (especially the blonde woman) was really helpful and smiles a lot. You will have probably read lots of negative reviews about this place. I read them all and had second thoughts. It being in Centro was the only bad thing about it. We didn't feel threatened. We came home quite late most nights around 9pm and it was ok. Don't be scared! This place is good value for money. I am very sensitive when it comes to dirty toilets but this place was clean.

Terrence, New Zealand

There is a little waterfall/rushing rivee right on the property you can go swimming in. Common area tv in Portuguese and english. They offer tour trips at the main desk for guests for additional cost.

Paige, Brazil

The security-guy at night, the only friendly person at the property. I arrived at 5.30 a.m. at the property and he organized me my room already then for a half-day extra rate. Not a word of English but with a smile on his face. Wifi was ok.

Michael, Vietnam

Bathrooms were very clean - our floor was quiet so not used often

Ailbhe, Australia

Good location, really close to lapa and night lite.they have a shared computer.

“Never Again!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
눉Beware: the hostel (it's not a hotel) is located in a dangerous area of Rio. You can't go out at night or after darkness and not even at daylight on the weekend. Staff is very unfriendly and tries to overcharge you, they asked me for more than the one-night-price for a 2 hour late check-out until 2 p.m.. Breakfast is dreadful: only jam, some cheese, sausages in tomato-sauce and rolls with watery coffee. No public room or space available after breakfast because they close the bright and sunny breakfast room then. Very small and smelly room. Did neither change the linen nor clean my room. Only local TV-channels.
눇The security-guy at night, the only friendly person at the property. I arrived at 5.30 a.m. at the property and he organized me my room already then for a half-day extra rate. Not a word of English but with a smile on his face. Wifi was ok.
