This place is truly perfect. The front desk staff is incredibly kind and polite. It’s close to General Osório station, small markets, restaurants, and even a gym for those who like to work out. A short walk takes you to either Copacabana or Ipanema Beach. To top it off, breakfast is simple but satisfying—and you can even get seconds! Haha!

This accommodation made my trip even better. Everything was very clean. I loved that the bathrooms had external cabins, and they were always spotless. Even though the hostel was at full capacity, it never felt crowded. I also want to congratulate the staff for their friendliness, empathy, and helpfulness—they were always cheerful and ready to assist.

I really liked the location, just a few steps and you’re already at Copacabana Beach, right in front of lifeguard station 5. The service is exceptional, everyone who helps you is very kind and polite (which sometimes doesn’t happen in other accommodations). The dorms are comfortable, and what I liked most was that the sheets were warm so we wouldn’t feel cold with the air conditioning on. The bathroom cleanliness also won me over, everything was clean and smelled great, and that makes a huge difference during our stay. I also loved the breakfast, well served. Overall, I can only thank the people who work at the hostel and make this space a welcoming place for those arriving in the city—I felt very well received. And I will definitely come back again!
