In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Rooftop views — Guests consistently praise the rooftop terrace for its panoramic views over Copacabana, Ipanema, and Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas.
  • Great location for beaches — Copacabana and Ipanema are within walking distance, and General Osorio metro station is about a 10-minute walk away.
  • Sea-view rooms — Private double rooms with sea views are available, offering a notable upgrade for a hostel.
  • Friendly and helpful staff — Reviewers note the staff go above and beyond with local information and comfort.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Hillside location requires effort — The hostel is up a steep hill, and getting a taxi all the way to the door can be difficult — a small trade-off for the views.
  • In a favela neighborhood — The hostel is located in a favela, which may feel less conventional for some travelers, though guests report feeling safe.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 23:30, which might be restrictive for late-night arrivals.
  • No pets allowed — If you're traveling with a pet, this hostel won't accommodate.

“The rooftop terrace views were incredible—I could see Ipanema and Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas. My sea-view room was superb, and the rooftop breakfast was delicious. The staff were friendly and gave useful tips. Getting a taxi up the hill was tricky, but the views were worth it.”

“From waking up to a Copacabana view to rooftop breakfasts, everything was fantastic. Both beaches were walkable. Even though it's in a favela, I felt safe—locals were welcoming and staff were caring. Clean, well-kept, and friendly. No complaints.”
