Me acomodei no hostel no mes de abril de 2018 e debitaram um valor do meu cartão e ate hoje nao estornaram, valor este que foi debitado antes de minha chegada e disseram se tratar de um adiantamento que em momento algum foi abatido de valor total que paguei pela estadia. O hostel nao responde e-mail e nem contato que fiz pelo expedia. No mais, nao recomendo o hostel pois as instalações nao sao confortaveis, os quartos sao apertados e a localização não facilita uma saída noturna sem auxilio de apps de mobilidade. Gostaria de elogiar os funcionários que foram receptivos e simpáticos. Aguardo posicionamento referente a minha devolução de valores. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Rosano 2 Feb 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Nicely located place, decent breakfast, some interesting travellers, and lots of space to hang out or sit in silence.

Funcionários legais e prestativos, tudo ótimo, tirando a ladeira que temos que subir e descer pra acessar o Hostel. Tem Bondinho que passa em frente mas ele para de funcionar cedo, tem onibus também mas nao tem ponto perto. Café da manhã regrado demais, horrivel mas tudo bem é o único detalhe negativo. ##### Vitinho ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lucas, Curitiba, Paraná 26 Jul 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Muito bom Hostel perto do centro e da vida noturna do Rio, muito limpo, bom atendimento, com uma vista incrível e todas as áreas do hostel são muito confortáveis.

Le quartier est central et pratique pour toutes les visites de la ville (plages, centre...) mais un peu difficile d'accès en montée, ne pas hésiter a prendre des taxis qui sont à des tarifs vraiment abordables. Le point négatif c'est l'implication du bar et petit déjeuner, ne parlant pas anglais donc sans effort supplémentaire en plus du service de base. Les réceptionnistes, eux, sont tous eux très sympas et serviables! Un très bon hôtel dans l'ensemble avec la piscine trop agréable en fin de journée. ##### Mathieu ### 8/10 Good #### Bart, Holland 17 Feb 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Prima verblijf voor 3 nachten Toen we met de taxi de rit naar het hostel namen schrokken we in eerste instantie een beetje van de buurt waar we doorheen gingen, maar al snel kwamen we in een andere buurt terecht en zag het er redelijk veilig uit. Eenmaal bij het hostel belden we aan en moesten we een redelijk lange trap omhoog lopen met de bagage, gelukkig kwam er na de eerste trap een klein gondeltje naar beneden om de bagage op te halen, want om bij het hostel te komen moet je nog een stukje klimmen (en in de hitte is dat best zwaar!) eenmaal boven werd onze bagage uit de gondel gehaald de de receptioniste en naar de receptie gesleept (het was een klein vrouwtje, maar ze wilde heel graag helpen!) inchecken verliep vlot en ik kon het resterende bedrag met mijn creditcard betalen (bleek ook nog eens 10 euro goedkoper te zijn vanwege de koerswisseling!) vervolgens moesten we weer een trap op om bij onze privé kamer te komen (santa Teresa) en de receptioniste bood weer aan om de tas de tillen, uiteindelijk hebben we het met z'n tweetjes gedaan ;-). De kamer was erg hoog, er was airco en een aparte badkamer, maar alles oogde een beetje oud, is ook wel de stijl van het hostel. beddengoed wordt niet verschoond, maar je bed wordt wel opgemaakt iedere dag! Geluidsoverlast hadden we ook nauwelijks. metro stations liggen op loopafstand, maar je moet niet slecht ter been zijn. Hostel is zeker een aanrader, vooral dankzij de staff!! ##### Bart ### 8/10 Good #### GEORGIOS, Greece 9 Feb 2016 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort Disliked: Cleanliness #### Bautiful Hostel, nice location Beautiful hostel, nice private room, friendly staff. The cleaning service was not that good and we didn't get fresh towels during our stay (4 nights). ##### GEORGIOS ### 6/10 Okay #### Donald, Ladysmith, BC Canada 26 Jan 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Room comfort #### Stay marred by # of stairs from street + noise Overall a good experience marred by: -dozens is stairs needed to get to the hostel from the street.
