I do not recommend it

Unfortunately, unpleasant things have happened. I was locked out of the Hostel for over an hour, the doors did not have any locks for women traveling alone it was a danger. And besides this irresponsibility of leaving a guest outside, they did not give me a refund for the day I did not stay, because I ended up changing hotels because I was afraid.

Great
The location is great, located between the Lapa Staircase and the Glória subway, 5 min walk from the Arco da Lapa where the Rio night takes place. Located in the same block of a famous samba bar in Rio de Janeiro, the Beco do Rato, with buses at the door and in the back street.

Great value for money
