I really enjoyed my two weeks at this hostel, I found the staff to be very helpful, friendly and approachable, they also know where the best parties are. The rooms are basic but there are CCTV cameras everywhere so there is great security. The breakfast is very typical of Brazil including great spreads and very nice cake. The location is... More

It took me two months before i had to go home, reluctantly, after such a fantastic time in the hostel. The friends you make there after such a short period became like family. Especially the time you spent with the staff. Even within a few hours they let you know that you're welcome. They help you with organizing things, take... More

Me and my boyfriend booked a room for one night, that was a terrible idea as we got fleas from the hostel for the rest of our trip! The rooms are not ventilated, very old, the matress are not good, and the price is really expensive for what it is. Really not recommended.

We booked a room at the Art Hostel in January so we figured A/C would be handy. We payed extra but got a broken A/C..and no discount. The bed was sleepable, but after two nights our backs started to get sore. The shower was functional...but we got little shocks if we adjusted the temperature. When it rained (which it did... More

We stayed here over the carnival for nearly 2 weeks. As every hostel in Rio during carnival it was outragously expensive and consequently not good value. The place itself is ok, hot and stuffy inside but it is reasonably equipped with kitchen, computer room with several computers, big TV and common area. There is free wifi and it isn't that... More
