Friendly staff with good access to WiFi. Excellent location in Botafogo. Had a 6 bed shared but was triple bunkbed and floor was loose so made lots of noise when people walked by into the adjacent shared room. Sprayed myself with mosquito repellent but was still covered so suggest bringing a net. Window would not keep shut. Barman was friendly but he had two nights off so the bar was not open which was disappointing. If your like me and you visit places for just a few days and to actually see them and not hang around in your accommodation and your on a budget then I would recommend.

Great location and staff but the conditions are :(
This was the only place of stay I found during the 2014 World Cup to be not too far from the beaches and not too close to the favelas. Stayed for 6 nights. Went to the beach by metro (Botafogo station) almost everyday. Also booked a tour to Sanguero samba school (80 reais) through the staff. The hostel can also help book favela tour and paragliding session near Pedro da Gavea.

EL MISTI NUNCA MAIS!!!
Não poderia ter sido pior. Dias antes de eu me hospedar o hostel fechou, simplesmente sem dar satisfação a nenhum hóspede. Fiquei sabendo porque por coincidência resolvi passar la pra ver se estava tudo certo. Eles demitiram todos os funcionários, remanejaram os hóspedes sem nem questionar se o local do outro hostel seria interessante pra quem estava hospedado. Tive de correr e procurar um outro hostel de uma hora pra outra, que não atendia minhas necessidades que era de ficar em quarto feminino mas que era próximo onde eu precisava ficar. Um total desrespeito com o cliente. Nunca mais me hospedo em nenhum hotel da rede!
Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2017

Ótimos atendentes fui muito bem atendido por uma equipe sensacional, quero agradecer o ótimo atendimento do Pablo, Nicolas, que fizeram a diferença na minha estadia! Café da manhã ótimo, para passar uma semana é tranquilo mais que isso é cansativo, pessoal que fica nas acomodações em quarto coletivo são muito animados e atrapalha um pouco para tentar dormir, o resto é ótimo.

Hostel meia boca
Hostel bem localizado no bairro do Botafogo, próximo ao Metro e diversos pontos de ônibus. Porém, a estrutura local deixa a desejar, pois, o sistema de acionamento implantado nos chuveiros não funciona corretamente, tendo que aciona-los a cada 10s para a água sair. O café da manhã é muito fraco e com poucas opções, sendo que os sucos servidos são todos industrializados e, também, o pão é seco e alguns outros ingredientes estavam velhos, quando estadiei lá. Por fim, a cama e o travesseiro são muito macios, sendo que você sente a estrutura da cama ao deitar-se e no outro dia, levantar com dores e cansado.

Considerando que é um albergue, a avaliação geral é razoável. Recepção eficiente mas não amigável, quarto privativo com janelas para a rua (bom!), roupa de cama básica mas ok, banheiros coletivos poucos e meio sujos, bairr incrivel.

Fui a trabalho para a FGV; Não há o que descrever, tentarei; totalmente decepcionante; sujo; janelas sem vidros com pernilongos voando feito poeira; piso imundo; e muito caro para o que me ofereceram; tentei cancelar na mesma noite que cheguei mas disseram ser impossivel; poque eu ja havia pago 491,00 fiquei;

Good option but some important cons
It was pretty full and a lot of noise late night because of that. Staff is very nice and kind. No tissues on bathrooms and one shower with no hot water. Bathrooms need more attention to be cleaned more frequently. Breakfast was good.
