It's a smaller hostel in the heart of Ipanema. Staff are friendly if not very knowledgeable. The rooms are smaller than other hostels in Rio but they are clean and you get a huge locker to store all your stuff, including a safe. They also make the bed everyday. The location, as I said, is simply the best. It is literally 4 blocks to Crystal Palace and to the famous Posto 9. One thing I disliked was you have to be buzzed in every time you go out. It's annoying and after a while it feels like you are in a prison.
