The owner and his family are very friendly and helpful
Great view from the terrace.
Location around the hostel is very secure so one can walk any time
Good pizzeria nearby (work at weekend evenings, but it was closed in the middle of June 2023, i hope it wasn't closed at all)
Quite difficult way up, but you can always go by bus.
Internet is not stable - quite often lose connection (it was very critical for me), the same time it was the best internet that we had in Brazil.

Everything was perfect. It has an amazing view and shops on every corner. The people in the community were friendly. The hostel is always clean. Very comfy to stay, feels like home. Dudu's family is amazing and very lovely, Shout out to Bea and Stella. :)

Dudu and his family are some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet! They were the perfect hosts going above and beyond to make us feel welcome, providing lots of information on the area. The view from the balcony is stunning and the Wi-Fi worked perfectly. The area is safe and the locals are all really friendly. We will miss them a lot!
Beds could do with an update however it’s great value for money so worth the stay.

Dudu, the host, is a great person! The area is really safe and I enjoyed sitting on the top floor with a cool breeze. Great value for money. It's easy to walk up the hill. Also within walking distance from the domestic airport.
A few more power sockets would be nice. There is no air conditioning.

we had a wonderful time! Eduardo - the owner is such a wonderful person, made us feel really welcome! the neighborhood is also great! you get the Favela vibe but you are safe! everyone there was super nice, helpful and even if mostly nobody spoke English they tried to help! best part: THE VIEW! seriously it’s amazing! thank u Eduardo for your kindness!
could be a bit cleaner! but probably just because we are used to European standards 😁

Dudu and the staff are awesome and super friendly. Always here to help and make you laugh. They know how to make your stay feel like home. Not to mention the stunning sunrises and view on Pão de Açúcar.
Not a bad thing but just a reminder to future travellers: do not expect a 5 stars fancy hotel. But everything you need is there!

Great owner, helped us a lot and we had a good time. The area is safe, located on the top of the mountain. In 15 minutes walk there is everything you need, shops, beach, transport.

Nothing
Everything, do not stay at this hostel no matter what the owner is terrible! The location is terrible! You won’t be able to sleep at night it’s loud and dirty and uncomfortable

This was a great experience. The favelas now are extremely safe and the neighborhood food d cheap and very good. I always looked forward to lunch at the kitchen restaurant around the corner from 11am-2pm. Almost like a buffet style for 18 Real! I stayed 8 days and figured everything out - so if you’re staying here, here are some good tips! First, I am in excellent shape so I prefer hiking up to get to the hostel, but there is a cheap and frequent van/bus service that only goes up and down for 2 Real each way which is nothing. It runs all day. Don’t take Uber there. The van is easy! There’s a subway station close by- takes you everywhere. The place is in central location which is awesome. The favelas are interesting! Have a look at the indoor soccer fields and pedestrian streets where the likes of Michael Jackson and other celebs went for scenes of videos etc. the host is great too. Text him on WhatsApp and he’s there for everything you need. Place is great and people super nice and friendly. A favela experience I will cherish!
The place is good for the price. No complaints.

good view, nice neighborhood
room soundproof effect is not good.

Eduardo has been available and communicative since I made the reservation and the experience of living in a favela is fun, it is a safe place or at least, nothing has happened to me or I have felt in danger at any time. I liked the experience and the view is very nice
The bunk was too low and you could not sit on the bed. The place is cheap but if you add the transport to go up there, it is not so cheap. Walking, until the subway station, it takes about 30 minutes, the climb is deadly. I don't think they cleaned the bathroom every day
