I loved it here, happy to have met the friend that I did and beautifullll views.

Beautiful views, nice balcony and communal spaces. Met a great friend here and other friendly roommates. Nice bathroom.

Just a lot of stairs but it was fine. The breakfast is just bread and a slice of fruit lol.

5 day stay

Great location and amazing views of Rio Kiko was very helpful with information. Lockers in the room were all working - bring a padlock.

We had a private room and there were no hooks in the bedroom or bathroom, so couldn't hang anything.

Great view for the city but far from the center

I liked the building itself and the vibe of the people that host you. I had to change a night for the next day and there wasn’t any problem with it. The mattress really good aswell.

I feel the breakfast was rather simple, for the valué I payed for and the bathroom for me to give a 10 would have to be better cleaned. The distance from the metro station is real and it’s not a safe area to walk at night, so I advice you to use always uber.

You'll 100% regret coming here

The man at the front was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and a gem of a human. That was the only positive about this place.

The mattresses were ripped, torn and wreaked of a foul odor. I've never seen such disgusting mattresses in my life and I've been to 100's of hostels/hotels this was THE worst . The whole hostal is in horrendous condition. It's not fit for use and should be condemned. To reach this place there's about 60 steps to go up so if you have large luggage, good luck. The washrooms were disgusting , filthy never been cleaned before and old antiquated equipment. also, be very careful , they will try and hustle money out of you, they make you sign these "rules" and when you leave they'll threaten to steal money from you ! Do not stay here !!!! It's way over-priced, it's a run down, beat up old house that's way out the way of everything. . Awful experience

Cozy stay with a nice view and swimming pool, nice stuff

Nice cozy location, with amazing view and a swimming pool.

It could have better amenities and a few more clothes hangers in toilet and in the room. Otherwise would be awesome.

Great for short stay

Good view over the city and located near the Corcovado and Christ the redeemer. Bit far to the beaches, but great bar area with pool on the top. Mattresses are super simple, but works.

Not the cheapest.

Good

Good hostel with nice terrace and swimming pool. The staff was really nice and helpful. Situated in a nice area. 5 mn walk from the famous stairs Escadaria Selaron.

The kitchen needs to be renovated with some decorations and painting on the walls. Pots and pans needs to be change also. Some long chairs and hammocks would be appreciated in the swimming pool area.

Overall a great stay

Great area for accessing lots of the main tourist spots. The room was good and the staff were very friendly. Great breakfast and social spaces

Very loud location due to Lapa. Quite difficult to get to by public transport, without a big walk up the hill. Kitchen is very limited

Very good

close to attractions in centro. very clean and great staff.

Quite basic. My mattress was old and not comfortable. location is supposed to be safe during the day, but one person was still robbed in broad daytime near the hostel. this is not the hostel’s fault, just remember you are in a city with lots of violent crimes. be careful wherever you are in the city.

Going to miss everyone here, and this place, and the little forest and the views.

Staff are great. Room great. Especially view. Bar great. Kitchen needs a few more things in it, but felt like home. Hard to leave. Love the steps up. Free workout every day. And the view makes it worth it. Oh, and the artwork is extraordinary !!

Wifi a little irregular but in all fairness something was always done about it. I am guessing its a common problem at times when everyone is using it.

Superb

The included breakfast was very decent, incl. juice, coffee, some cake, toast and ham/cheese. In general a really good location and reasonably quiet, but with parties/events on the weekend. The staff was really nice and helpful.

All in all a great place. The beds are not that comfortable and in the shared rooms a curtain for the beds would be great.

Disappointing

The location is great and the view is absolutely beautiful. The reception area and the common spaces are well designed and cool. The staff was friendly.

We (2people) slept in the 8 beds dormitory (upstairs on the right side). The dormitory is really small, there's literally no place for the bags, even if we were just 6 people in the dorm. I can't imagine how it looks like when it's full... There's mold on the walls, plus you can spot some cockraches in the room or in the bathroom, and finally, the matress was in such a poor state. The bathroom part was more or less clean, but there's no way to lock the shower/wc door , you can just lock the main door, which wasn't practical at all.

Great hostel in the very heart of Santa Teresa

This hostel has a gread atmosphere. The staff is great and friendly. I stayed 1 week there and I love it. The terasse is very good. Not a party hostel ( except the week-end) but a place to relax.
