    Noisy at night because of the bar/restaurant on the ground floor. The bathrooms should be renovated…

    Really well located nearby the beach & good places to eat/drink in Leblon. The staff speaks English & is super friendly!

    The beds were those plastic covered mattresses, which I find SUPER uncomfortable, but it's a hostel and sometimes that's what you get. You also need to be buzzed in in order to enter. This was only an issue one time and I was trapped outside for about 15 minutes buzzing until another guest let me in. But I was there for 5 days and that only happened once.

    The location is INCREDIBLE!!! I went to the beach everyday, honestly it was hard to NOT go to the beach. It is also very close to a cool restaurant that has live music on Saturdays. The staff is great and I would for sure go back!

    Great location
    • Leisure trip

    • Bed in 6-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 9 nights

    The Beds were not the best, especially on the top bunk climbing up was difficult especially when intoxicated, the kitchen space was also quite non-existent, also it was advertised that staff spoke English however only one person there spoke English so there was a bit of a language barrier at times. For example, i booked a hiking tour and the hostel booked a different one for me, partly my fault for not double checking but they also advertised the wrong hike to me in the first place.

    The location of this hostel is its major selling point. Located maybe 100m from the beach its the perfect distance from Leblon, going the other direction there is also lots of restaurants, stores and quick and easy food options. I think the reason i liked this hostel were the people i met here and the location.

    At night the employee responsible to open the doors were sleeping and didn't open the doors, I needed to press the bell a lot of times like 4:30am because the front desk employee were sleeping.

    The location is awesome, pretty close to the beach. The staffs were great too.

    Great Hostel near Leblon Beach

    • Bed in 4-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room

    but only the upstairs bathrooms had hot water that I could get to work. the mattresses were a bit thin.

    Great Staff, One block away from Leblon Beach. 2nd best of 6 hostels I stayed at in LeBlon. Samantha was cute. Carlos was super helpful. Fridge, microwave, a place to dry my clothes. Bathrooms were good. Great Burger at Hell's Burgers in the Leblon Shopping Complex. The Hostel's restaurant was great too, and the discount made it the best option in the neighborhood. The filet de frango and file Mignon were outstanding. The biggest room was the best. Balcony right over the restaurant! good lockers, curtains, good space.

    Terribly equipped kitchen: no pans, no can opener, no kettle, only one portable burner that won't stay on consistently. It seems dodgy that the AC is way too cold at night and blankets are rented.

    Close to the beach, dorm beds all have outlets and privacy curtains, helpful staff.

    Kitchen not very well equipped - only a microwave for preparing food, but fridge, coffee maker & crockery available. Our (private) room was not cleaned during our 4 night stay.

    Large private room (twice the size of nearby I’m Hostel RJ!). A modern hostel in a great location in a beautiful and safe neighbourhood of Leblon - handy for the beach (1 block away) and many cafes, bars and restaurants. Friendly and welcoming staff on reception, nice atmosphere.

    You cannot cook at this hostel, the space allow you just to make a sandwich or similar. There was no silverware. The room for 6 pax doesn't worth it, its too small.

    Nice location and Kindly staff.

    there was a staff lady (maybe the owner) that seems not so friendly. An stove we’re missing (couldn’t cook most of my meals on microwave). some showers were only with cold water.

    location bed quality and privacy Miguel hostess was really amazing bar drinks were quite délectable the receptionist Miguel (if I’m not wrong about his name) was amazing one of the cleanest hostel I’ve ever went

    The only problem was the showers, where hot water wasn’t the best. Water sometimes was cold. Also maintenance in terms of cleaning / toilet and hand paper reposition could be better. The kitchen is not the best. Good enough for breakfasts but not to cook.

    The Hostel was good in so many terms. Location is perfect. The rooms were nice, the beds were as comfortable as a hostel bed can be so in general it was all good.

    Mattresses are terrible, no support and the outer layer is some sort of leather that makes it a bit uncomfortable with the weather. Kitchen could use a bit more attention.

    Nice location, the Staff and Miguel are great and most importantly: beds have curtains! The rooms were spacious and seem to be benefited from light as well.

    Beds and pillows are made of leather? So even after putting on sheets it's still a bit uncomfortable, and the rooms were never cool enough. At times the bathrooms weren't as clean as I'd like either
