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! ##### Dandara Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2017 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharen 28 Jun 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### El Misti Botafogo The staff has been amazingly helpful and friendly.

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. ##### Guilherme Verified ### 8/10 Good #### ANDRES 25 Jan 2017 Liked: Staff & service #### excelente opcion en un sector muy tradicional de R buena experiencia, habitacion sencilla, con lo basico, pero aseada y bien mantenida, el staff muy amable y atento,siempre dispuesto a colaborar. ##### ANDRES Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Rita 3 Jan 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Horrível, quase que morro de calor, passei mal Não consegui ficar, era insuportável, quero meu dinheiro ##### Rita Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 2 Jan 2017 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### hot room. Rude staff Small room beside kitchen. Woken up very early by banging of pots and pans and shouting kitchen staff. Room no ventilation or air conditioning. ##### Verified traveller Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### BigBoy 29 Nov 2016 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### BigBoy Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 17 Aug 2016 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Buena ubicación buen ambiente por ser un hostal-bar. Es difícil descansar. ##### Verified traveller Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Luciano Alberto 10 Aug 2016 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Barato Banheiros antigos e mal equipados, falta manutenção nas instalações. Área de convivência muito pequena e contaminada com o uso de cigarro na também pequena área de fumantes. ##### Luciano Alberto Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### H R 13 Apr 2016 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ok It was okay for a hostel. Could have been better ##### H R Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### YI JYUN 24 Feb 2016 Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort The wifi always didn't work in the room only in lobby. Basic breaskfast. But the location was good and the staff were totally nice and helpful. ##### YI JYUN Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Juliano 20 Oct 2015 Liked: Room comfort Disliked: Cleanliness 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. ##### Juliano Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 18 Oct 2015 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Vexatória e decepcionante 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; ##### Verified traveller Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Anderson 1 Oct 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hotel agradável perto da praia.

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. ##### Thiago Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Thiago 21 Jul 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### Charged twice but solved after two weeks. So, I was charged in my credit card when I made a reservation and I was charged in cash as I checked in. I only found out after my check out and called to the hostel. It took about two weeks to get an official answer but every thing is solved and I did not have any other problem. I will stay another night next week as a second chance and will make an assessment about the hostel. I think they should work better to avoid this kind of issue. ##### Thiago Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Liam 9 Apr 2015 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### el misti 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. ##### Liam Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Niklas 25 Jan 2015 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Over crowded, dirty and unsecure. To many beds in everyroom and only three crapy toiletts for more than 40 people. They turned off the AC from 0900 to 2100 and it got realy warm during the day. They kept the AC control in the reception so you had to walk up and down twice if you wanted to adjust the temperature. They promissed me a looked room for my extra bag, but it was allways unlocked and availeble for anybody so a few things got stolen. This was the worsed hostel I have ever visited. ##### Niklas Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Franco 11 Jan 2015 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nem fiquei! Cheguei na portaria, me deparei com um bêbado, 3 garotas dançando forró, e 2 rapazes sentados em um sofá velho. Cozinha horrível! Banheiros pior ainda...quarto dava para dormir no trago. Estava com minha família e preferi perder o dinheiro! ##### Franco Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Luiz Felipe 19 Dec 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### El Misti Ótimo Hostel. Bem simpáticos os funcionários ##### Luiz Felipe Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Frank 11 Aug 2014 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Frank ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.h59644378.Hotel-Information) > - [Vila d'este Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Buzios-Hotels-Vila-Deste-Handmade-Hospitality-Hotel.h4603771.Hotel-Information) > - [Copacabana Palace, A Belmond Hotel, Rio de Janeiro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Copacabana-Palace.h7130.Hotel-Information) > - [Quari Quara BY MN Hotéis](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Buzios-Hotels-Quari-Quara-BY-MN-Hoteis.h4018653.Hotel-Information) > - [South American Copacabana Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-South-American-Copacabana-Hotel.h978385.Hotel-Information) > - [Secrets Bahia Real Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Oliva-Hotels-Secrets-Bahia-Real-Resort-Spa-Adults-Only.h1273572.Hotel-Information) > - [Miramar by Windsor Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Miramar-By-Windsor-Copacabana.h9027.Hotel-Information) > - [Windsor Leme Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Windsor-Leme-Hotel.h877312.Hotel-Information) > - [5 Star Hotels in Macclesfield](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Macclesfield-Hotels.s50-0-d5632.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Hotels near Theatre Royal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Theatre-Royal-Hotels.0-l6144465-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Mirador Rio Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Mirador-Rio-Hotel.h48039.Hotel-Information) > - [Leblon Design Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Brazilodge-Leblon.h37294859.Hotel-Information) > - [Casa Amarela](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Angra-Dos-Reis-Hotels-Casa-Amarela.h91350458.Hotel-Information) > - [Windsor Palace Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Windsor-Palace-Hotel.h688868.Hotel-Information) > - [Pura Vida Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Pura-Vida-Hostel.h9716405.Hotel-Information) > - [B&B Hotels Rio Copacabana Posto 5](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-BB-Hotels-Rio-Copacabana-Posto-5.h1469342.Hotel-Information) > - [Vila Gale Eco Resort de Angra - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Angra-Dos-Reis-Hotels-Vila-Gale-Eco-Resort-De-Angra-All-Inclusive.h2170687.Hotel-Information) > - [PortoBay Rio de Janeiro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-PortoBay-Rio-De-Janeiro.h14441.Hotel-Information) > - [The Clarendon Hotel - Blackheath](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Clarendon-Hotel-Blackheath.h916270.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Nacional Rio de Janeiro OFICIAL](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Hotel-Nacional-Rio.h42275495.Hotel-Information) > - [5 Star Hotels in Split](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Split-Hotels.s50-0-d3255.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights ### Packages > - [Norfolk Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norfolk.d6046223.Holidays-City-Breaks) > - [Madagascar Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Madagascar.d106.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General ---
