“Great hostel located in favela Babilonia 10 minutes from Copacabana beach”
Interior is very modern and the location is great if you don’t mind waking 10 minutes up the steep hill. Breakfast is delicious and the view from the rooftop was insane.

Hostel is with a very nice view and the rooftop. Also the rooms are very nice all clean very well carried for it and the personality is very nice situated at the beginning of the Favilla. It is pretty safe though.

The breakfast was fantastic. The reception staff who were volunteers spoke English very well. The location is very well located for Copacabana and the metro wasn't too far away. I still have their cool map of Rio as a bookmark.

“Pretty good hostel in Rio”
I really liked the beds as they have small shelves and other storage built in them as well as lamp and small fan, big thumbs up for that! Also the staff is amazing, really lovely people. Breakfast is pretty good too and I didn't mind at all it's just vegetarian (e.g. you have slices of cheese but no slices of ham etc.). Price per night is fair in my opinion.

Such good hostel! Don't let the location fool you, it is a very safe place. The volunteers are super friendly and always willing to help, the breakfast is soo good, there's a coworking space that was very handy to work remotely, the rooms were comfy and beds private, the toilets always clean. This is definitely the hostel to stay in Rio, amazing value for money :)

Chef Lea cooks the best eggs ever. The Rio kitchen team were top notch and worked well under pressure. The rooms were good, spacious, and plenty of storage in each bed. The bathrooms were clean and the showers were a lovely temperature. The rooftop had fantastic views, and Leo made amazing pizzas and Caipirinhas!

“Decent beds”
Beds were lovely a private. Small fan in bed was great. Place was clean and tidy including shower and toilet. Area was close to the beach. Breakfast was nice but coffee could be better and maybe some more vegan and protein options.
