1 Safe area, filthy hostel, unfriendly staff
The area is quite good, few rooms have AC, so it gets really hot during the night with nine people in the room. The staff is unfriendly, know almost nothing about the city, and don't make you feel at home. Seems like they think you are a burden!

3 This hostel is in as safe an area as you will get in Rio. It's two minutes from beach, the breakfast is good, and it's clean. However, they have too many people there for its size, triple bunks in the dorm rooms, which led to showers and toilets often lacking water. A bit fewer people, or more facilities, and this place would get a better rating.

5 This is the best hostel in the Americas. If one is unsure whether Brazilians are the friendliest people in the world, this place will set your mind at rest. There is no doubt about it. Sleep is not the easiest thing to get here but you will not be served with a bigger genuine smile anywhere, which more than makes up for it.

5 This was the best place I stayed at in South America. The staff were great and so was the atmosphere. There were loads of brilliant nights.

5 This is THE place to stay in Rio! It has cool staff, nice people, and a good atmosphere. You'll get hardly any sleep, but a lot of parties! :) A swimming pool and Brazilian night life are included!
