Fine location, nice enough staff, sturdy bunks.
The reception area staff spoke adequate English, unfortunately in Rio, adequate is the best you will be looking to get so don't see this as a plus or minus. However they were welcoming and friendly. I didn't find them too attentive. The triple level bunks had ladders however the double bunks (at least in my room) came without. The bunks were sturdy and mattress comfortable, however not much head room when seated on the side. The hostel offered breakfast from 8/9 (i never woke up early enough to critique) coffee and tea available throughout. On to the negatives; i have to be brutally candid about the often poor state of the shower/toilet rooms. There was 5 rooms with one shower and toilet, designed for one person. Mornings were a pain to queue up for. This isn't really something that can be overcome without redesigning the entire hostel. However a rigid morning shift stock up routine would have resolved the issue of finishing on the toilet without sheet to wipe. The last thing regarding the shower and this deserves an additional paragraph. The floor in the shower and toilet room would be covered in black muck/sand from people walking around in bare feet, this would be exacerbated by pubes from and in the shower and beard trimmings near the sink, the floor wet and easy to slip on. I hope someone remembers to take a photo of the shower area to augment what i have stated, wish i did. A simple shower padding on the floor would have remedied the most hazardous.

Safe, Comfort Sleeping, Food market, near Beach
Well, for the low Copacabana price ... after going to 3 other hostels, I came back ... the BEST sleep I had all year, even at home (it is now end of year) ... the cleaning staff is always around working and smiling ... open air entrance/lounge/breakfast and bar area. The breezy, sunny bedroom, is total comfort compared to other low prices hostels in the area. very secure road, with giant, beautiful mountain hospital at near end of road. Hostel is right under majestic rio mountain. direct walk to the world famous copacabana beach. Laid back, but responspible hostel good for families, couples, and friends, and anyone, from anywhere. It IS low priced, and does have thus, with the conditions of furniture, except ... the mattresses, everyone is so happy with their beds ... sometimes it seems people are spending more time in bed, than going out. But so, you get all your money back from the quality of the experience.

OK, but you can do better. WiFi does not work.
WiFi did not work at all, was too far from beach, toilets/showers were never available in the evenings and they were always soaked and unclean. Noisy everywhere. Staff were great and friendly. Nice friendly atmosphere with nightly dinners.

Pros: friendly, helpful, patient staff; good breakfast; good dinners; good bar; good location; direct shuttle pick-up for tours / adventures; guests were mostly respectful towards one another. Cons: no running water for 20-30% of our stay (however, there was a hostel about a block away that allowed us to use their facilities in the meantime); the heat in the upper suites was at times unbearable; pricey during Carnaval.

El Misti Cheapo but great locale
If you get to stay in this Hostel you will save a ton of money. The fact you must overcome is the shared feel of the apartment. The best move is to get the private room. Make sure to bring comfortable shoes so you can walk and save cab fair. The free interent is a mega-plus. I would stay here again to have a fabulous trip to Rio. Bear in mind you may not be able to bring guest back to your room so be sure to ask that question BEFORE you book..
