This is the best hostel I have ever stayed in! It has great vibes, it is modern and clean. And the location is just perfect, it felt very safe even at night. It is kind of hostel where you can easily make connections with people but it still remains calm and you can sleep well at any time.

This hostel is a real hidden gem and honestly one of the best places you can find in Rio. Everything is brand new, which means it’s extremely clean and very well maintained. The kitchen is amazing – all the utensils are completely new, and it’s actually fun to cook there. I’ve never cooked as much anywhere else on my entire trip as I did here. The location is perfect: close enough to great restaurants and bars, so you can easily go out and enjoy the nightlife. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming – we did so many activities together, went out partying, and explored the area as a group. It felt very familiar and social, and you really get to know everyone staying there. The beds are super comfortable, and I especially loved the privacy beds, which make the beds feel cozy and personal. Overall, this was one of the best stays of my entire journey. I would come back anytime without hesitation.

The atmosphere is 10/10, 3 pools, restaurant, and bar where you can buy drinks. There is also plenty of common space where you can meet people even a small bar where you can buy your own alcohol and make drinks if your on a budget. Also a coworking space where you can get work done if you need to. They literally have everything you could need. Great for every type of stay from families to solo travelers. I stayed during carnival and it was a great to meet people and hang out in between blocos. Also the breakfast is GREAT.

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
