Check in took us about an hour due to a party. SO loud, there was a samba party however it went on til really late in the evening, so many fireworks as well outside and we were unlucky and had a loud snorer in our dorm.

The breakfast we paid extra for was amazing! The building is amazing, our second time staying here. The pools are really pretty. We liked the fact you can see Cristo Redentor too from the location. Staff are all very nice and helpful.

Super fresh and clean and so modern.

It smelled a little bit like old mold. Due to being close to many trees and plants, high humidity might've been the cause.

Staff was friendly and decor was on point. Would love to come back soon.

- The Kitchen is not well equipped - Restaurant prices are a bit too high - Mosquito problem in some places (swimming pool WC infested)

Great hotel, huge facilities, nice restaurant

Stayed in December 2023

Although the rooms are not serviced daily (which is perfectly fine), the toilet paper bins should be removed daily.

The hostel is within walking distance of Christ the Redeemer and a main bus station. It’s nestled in a forest and has 3 pools. The private rooms are small but have everything you need.

The location is a little far out from the rest of the city but the quality of the hostel makes up for this. Service in the restaurant could be a little more attentive.

Such a beautiful hostel, and absolutely huge! The amount of amenities here really is impressive. The rooms and beds are very comfortable - the AC is great. The staff were really great, they took in my bag delivered from the airport with no issues and informed me when it arrived. Jonathan especially was excellent :)

Rooms are a bit basic

Amazing place niched in the pretty Cosme Velho, away from the intensity of Ipanema but closely connected to both Ipanema and Botafogo.

Hostel is amazing. Very big with a lot of contents. Room was clean, stuff was friendly. Location is great. I will be back for sure!

Not super important, but some art in the room would make the spacious white rooms a little more appealing :) There is no laundry provided at the hostel. You can however find one 15 min walking distance.

We had a private room which was very spacious, huge comfy bed, great shower. The breakfast is amazing! Bar is nice and most evenings they had live music which was really good! Helpful they have lockers. Our room was a little plain, no art on the wall like other rooms. That would have been a bonus. Staff is super kind but its handy to learn some Portugees sentences beforehand or write some down since majority doesn’t speak English. Altho they really try their best with translation apps etc. We also liked the location since it was close to the Christus statue and not to far from botanical garden en nature park. For supermarket, bar, restaurants, you have to walk around 15 min. There’s also a place for laundry there. If you follow that street down you’ll find most things you need. We were at some point warned by local people when we went into a sketchier part, but for the most part if you follow that one way you will be fine. Overal great value for how cheap this hostel is. We would definitely recommend and return if ever in Rio again!

Dirty curtain

Great property in a great location for visiting Christ the Redeemer and the little train sets off just around the corner from Jo & Joe Breakfast is very good only problem is that the curtains how they are arranged in each room they aren’t clean and the staff don’t seem to understand much English or my Portuguese is very bad anyway all good and a very relaxed place to arrive at plus they have a sign in the patio which states that Walt Disney planted this tree when he visited Rio !! Maybe they are taking the Mickey but good story

It’s not really close to much except the train station.

Great rooms, I think the cleanest I’ve stayed in. There were events at the hostel but not really any external events eg. Bar crawls, walking tours etc. But the events they do have are very well done!

Location is good fort the corcovado but far from the beach.

The facilities and accommodations are amazing The staff was very attentive and nice

There were leaves in the pool which didn't look inviting.

I loved the beautiful building, comfortable room, friendly staff and a good lunch at a fair price.

Stayed in September 2023

Check in was confusing because the inexperienced staff person forgot to give me bed sheets and a pillowcase and told me which room to go to. The signage to the room is unclear since the property is huge so it's easy to get lost. I didn't know which bed to take because I was not given bed sheets. I had to return to the reception to understand wherr to go and which bed to take. The property is beautifully surrounded by trees and vegetation so expect mosquitoes during Twilight time in open rooms. Also while there is an on-site restaurant, there aren't many other restaurant options nearby.

After staying near Copacabana & Ipanema for a week, I decided to stay here for one night to relax. If this is your first time in Rio, I wouldn't necessarily stay here because it's isolated far from the beaches. However, if you're looking to just unwind in a place with incredible shared indoor and outdoor common areas, then this is the place. It's got several pools including a heated pool. There's an on-site restaurant. It's a huge expansive property and beautifully arranged. It's also a good place to stay for a night or two to base yourself to visit Christ Redeemer early in the morning before the crowds arrive. The train up corcovado is a 5 minute walk from the hotel. The Wi-Fi is solid throughout the property and the dorm beds have privacy curtains. Bus transportation is quite easy to other popular parts of Rio because Cosmo Vehlon bus stop is just down the street. But again this requires 40 minutes in a bus instead of walking if you're staying closer to the beach.

The pool has leaves in it everyday so I didn’t swim

The property is huge! Really nice space to lounge in
