Great hostel in a great location very near Botafogo metro station. 1 metro stop from Copacabana. Great for restaurants and shopping. Stayed in the double room with bathroom. The rooms are clean. Our room was right above the reception and it was noisy - especially on Saturday. The breakfast was very good. The staff are amazing and very helpful. I'd still recommend the hostel (value for money), but I'd personally look for an alternative on my next visit. I hope the tone of this review is positive as that's my aim ;)

Loved this hostel! I had my own room and bathroom, which was small but very clean and comfortable. The wifi wasn't great but worked well enough in the lobby. Best part for me was the price and location. Close to the metro, shops, and my office.

Hotel location is good, metro station is nearby. Front desk staff is very nice, friendly and helpful; breakfast is quite simple, wireless internet connection is shaking. Room doesn't have coffee maker, neither have hair blower.

EXCELLENT Hostel!! Our stay at injoy design was perfect in almost every regards. The location in Botafogo is very central, within a couple minutes of walking distance to the metro station, supermarkets and restaurants. The hotel is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac, the street is gated and protected by 24/7 security personnel. Although Botafogo is considered a safe neighborhood, this should make you feel even safer, especially for Rio first-timers like myself this was an added bonus. This hostel has more of a hotel feeling to it, it has few rooms and the highly motivated staff at the 24/7 reception was always helpful and great with tips, ordering taxis, suggestions etc. They partner with a couple of providers of tours, we especially like the Vidigao Favela tour provided by a local tour guide. All in all the staff at Injoy was extremely warm and welcoming and the young people at the reception spoke English very well! Breakfast was very rich, tasty and fresh and there was coffee, tea and cake throughout the whole day for free. The rooms were very clean and bright and offered numerous TV channels. The WIFI worked even in the rooms and was very strong, however a glitch in the connection may happen but was fixed rather quickly. From the hostel you can reach the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema within a couple of metro stops, just as the center city. It is therefore perfectly located for visitors who want to enjoy rios beaches as well it's culture and nightlife.
