Pros: Amazing staff at this property! Very friendly and always up for some fun! Also they all speak some level of English which was nice. It’s more of a party hostel than a chill and work hostel. Also they have a bar and restaurant attached to the property which is convenient. The area is awesome. Ipanema seems to attract young and friendly folks from all over. Cons: the shower had zero water pressure, the restaurant isn’t always open and some of the other guests don’t respect specific quiet time which they have posted outside the rooms. All in all I would DEFINITELY come back for a party or two.

Overall, stay was good. The hostel is easy to find, a few minutes away from Ipanema beach. It is near to a lot of shops, restaurants and a market. There were cleaning ladies almost everyday yo clean the room. I liked the big drawers under the bed that can actually fit a check-in size luggage of 23kg, and you can lock it. The only downside is that the all-female room is next to the street so expect noise from vehicles and people who party all night. Also, there is no switch for the AC and you have to call reception to turn it on which is annoying because it gets really hot and humid in the middle of the night.

This listing is misleading because it said private bathroom. There was nothing about the listing that said it was one set of bunk beds in a room of lots of bunk beds. Please know that you may book thinking you have your own private room and bathroom, even though it says "private bathroom," but really it is private for 12 people/12 bunk beds. We needed a quick shower post-beach and before our flight, and there was a dude in the bathroom. Also, there are no towels. And you have to keep pushing the water on and there is only one temperature...it times out. Good for the environment for sure. Staff was pretty snarky and unhelpful. Make sure you have a lot of time on your hands. The lady at the counter said someone would show us our room after she helped a bunch of people...we didn't have this kind of time to wait around...especially since we would shortly discover there was someone in our "private" bathroom already using the shower.

Good location to be near Ipanema beach during the day. Not a bad social vibe. Not impressed by lack of water filter (you have to buy bottled water at the hostel). Booking agency also very expensive - charged 25% more for a transfer to Ilha Grande than almost all companies charge. Rooms are decent, but it's not hard to find better hostels in Rio with better vibes that charge similar prices and include breakfast/water.

Great atmosphere and nice staff. The shared dorms were a very basic. Bathrooms in dorms were cleaned daily. The downside of the rooms was humidity. They fans in the room to help keep an air flow. Windows kept open didn't help since it was humid outside. Sheets were always damp. We stayed Mon-Sat and never had our sheets replaced and they smelled of mildew. The AC was only turned on certain hours of the day which was a bummer if you wanted to sleep past 8am. Lockers were nice and spacious for luggage. They offer free luggage storage after check out. The main hang out area needs more love and comfort. All chairs are wooden fold out, so it makes it hard to get out of the room and lounge like most hostels have. Wifi worked really well. Give 1 free drink each evening at the bar, nice touch! Breakfast option was delicious - good fruits, breads, drinks. Overall it is a hostel so it will not be perfect. I have much experience in various hostels in Rio and it isn't the worst, but not the best.

Compared to the Misti in Copacabana, this is a palace. It is newer. The room was for 8 people and had private bathroom. It was clean. The air conditioner is turned on during the night only, so during the day the room is really hot. There is no fan to turn on and the windows do not open widely. The staff was ok. Not as friendly and lively as in the other Misti. The hostels have the same nightly activities. The tours are more expensive in this Misti. The location is fantastic, only one block away from the beach and another block away from a metro station. The only thing is that there are no supermarkets close by, so you have to buy expensive water bottles (4 reales compared to 1.69 in the supermarket). I would stay again in this one.

Staff have an awful habit of walking into your room at anytime, unannounced with no knocking. The master key overturns your internal lock so we had staff walk in at 8pm (unannounced with no reason explained); 8:15am (unannounced maybe to clean the room) and 12pm (unannounced to show a third party around our room). We asked them to stop, but it continued during our stay. It wasn't just cleaners, it was receptionist as well.
