I loved the bohemian look. Rooftop bar was a plus since I don’t know the area. Restaurant connected to hotel was a plus great food.

Souleymane, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

One of the best hostels! The dining options were great, the room clean, guard on duty (it's Brazil....). Pretty building. I was able to walk everywhere I needed to go.
Corinne, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The staff are wonderfully helpful (and speak English!). They accommodated an early check in for us and allowed us to store our bags after check out due to a late departing flight. Definitely recommend!
Melinda, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

They have a bar on the rooftop with DJ, magnificent view of Lapa in the night, sometimes they close the bar at 10:30pm, you have a welcome drink from 5:00pm to 5:30pm so don't be late.

Robinson, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I liked that the staff was very accommodating and it was easy to find but I didn't like that YOU HAD TO LABEL FOOD OR DRINKS OR THEY GET THROWN OUT!
Dennis E, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

No spaces to work as was advertised. Room was very dirty and infested with cockroaches. Staff did nothing about the cleaning after I complained.
28-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It’s a awesome hotel they have a kitchen so you can cook and save money a library my room didn’t have hot water but maybe that’s normal in Brazil the area is kinda scary to walk around at night but in the day time is pretty safe
Oscar, 7-night trip

8/10 Good

Good location & nice staff

The staff were super lovely and the property is in a good location. The rooms are nice but I think we were just a bit unfortunate to get one without a working extractor fan which made the room a bit damp and smelly... we did let them know but we were only there for a short time! Wifi was good Kitchen could do with a few more spoons!
Holly, 3-night trip

4/10 Poor

Not so good

Unwelcoming registration. No information given, just a sheet to fill in and then you're on your own ! The morning staff were nicer than the evening staff. Breakfast was unremarkable and not very tasty. I think there was a water infiltration problem in the 3rd floor, and the whole floor smelled of damp including the room, it was horrible. As I only stayed one night, I didn't complain. The hotel is well located, right in the center, but in the evening it's not very safe in the surrounding streets.
