I't a very international hostel in the heart of Copacabana, full of friendly people. Its most important feature is the mood: every night there are activities organized by a nice staff. I left nice memories there

location, atmosphere in the hostel, great free tours

“The worst stay in Rio”

I didn’t like

The hostel is very social and has a lot of common spaces where you can chill out. The kitchen is really nice! The staff and volunteers are very friendly and always have a good plan for a party!

The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the location is excellent—very convenient for getting around. However, the cleanliness of the shared bathroom could be improved. A special thank you to Emilia, Rachel, and Eki for making my stay amazing. Their kindness and helpfulness really made a difference!

This hostel has the best atmosphere! It s perfect to meet other travelers! There is a lot of volunteers who are very motivated to make this hostel a great and enjoyable place to stay. Everything was very clean. You can do your laundry there !

“Location was not the best but the place itself was great”

The place itself was very big once you got inside the house! The staff were very welcoming and especially Emilia and Matt were lovely and even offered me a free upgrade!

Excellent hostel and best staff!

It’s a Nice and chill place to relax, it’s also very well located and close to everything you may need, also the vibe inside the hostel is great, if you are looking to meet new people and have fun this is the right place

“Amazing”

The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The rooms were very tidy, the bar area was really cool and inviting. The staff were so friendly and explained everything so well, Daniel, Matt and Leo were very accommodating and helped a lot.

The staff is really friendly and helpful!

the private room in pura vida is great!! even though it’s a party hostel you dont hear anything from the private room so you have your own quite space. the bathroom and room is really big and the pillow is really comfortable. the staff is suuuuuper nice and cool!!! the energy of the whole hostel is really chill and fun aswell

“Loud, obnoxious, only good for parties”

The kitchen, beautiful old building

“Copacabana magic”
