Best Location, Brilliant Staff, Very Safe
Hostel is amazing - provided you are pretty chilled and roll with whatever is happening. Had a brilliant stay, it was the perfect location to explore the city and surrounds; but also for Carnival events. Rooms were comfortable (had air con @ night, but fans through the day) and were fairly quiet. Unfortunately I don't think the room is swept often and the bathrooms got dirty very quickly; likely from a couple of plumbing issues which meant the floor in bathroom usually wet. Wi-Fi was very hit and miss; but great when it was working. Staff were amazing; special shout out to Fred! They knew everyone's names, very friendly, most could speak English, always wanted to help. Felt very safe - there is police station over the road and Lapa seemed to be a hip, cool suburb. The hostel also often had front door locked and just rang doorbell no matter the time and staff would let you in (and only guests because they knew you). During carnival there were free dinners and breakfasts - always delicious and filling! As well as free caipirinhas for 2hrs to get people started on the night (again just for carnival). Great atmosphere; guests talked to each other and went out exploring/partying together. Really great stay

Bad experience
It was not a good experience. Room facilities are poor: adapted bathrooms and very small, dirty beds, mattress with scabies, sultry rooms, air conditioning during limited hours. Many beds in one room and without any security. The atmosphere of the hostel is good, staffs are awesome, the location very good, but the minimum comfort is zero.

Party hostel right in Lapa
We stayed over carnival so perhaps it's not usually a party hostel! We stayed in a private room with air conditioning, bathroom was modern and clean. The room only had a bed, no space for luggage. It was very noisy most nights, our window was onto a terrace where the party seemed to move to. I wouldn't stay again however it is a great place to party and meet new people! Staff are friendly and helpful and breakfast is good!

I didn't take advantage of any of the activities but I think the hostel offered special group/theme meals and bbq. Water and other beverages for sale. It was World Cup so there was a lot of partying going on in the main room and in the several restaurants/bars outside, but the upstairs/sleeping area was quiet. The women's dorm had a warm shower and toilet just for women. Bunks stacked 3 high. Nice sized kitchen, very basic breakfast. I'm not sure what the area is like at night when World Cup is not going on. Friendly, sweet rescue cat.

The ratings don't lie
It's a good thing I have seen other hostels before I rate this one. Now I know why it's rated highly... Light for each bed n a place to charge your phone or laptop - check Big locker enough to fit your large backpackers bag - check Locker needs little more maintenance n it's close to your bed. You got to have your own lock. Wifi every corner of the place without any problem - check Friendly n multilingual customer service - check Location walking distance from laps where all actions take place in the weekends.
