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

one of the most horrible experiences in hostels i've ever had. the room was full of fleas and I got my skin all red and itchy for the rest of the trip. the staff is not really simpathetic and there is a lot of noise while you're trying to sleep, also it seems there is no sufficient ventilation in the...

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.

the website looks nice, the pics look nice...but the reality is the opposite: as the brazilian saying goes: only for the english to see ... so ...don't expect anything out of it.. the rooms are small, shabby and smelly (the three "S"), the services is mediocre. the breakfast is simple and the best of all of it is maybe the...

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 at an ensuite room - but shower was over toilet with no separation; showerhead was connected to electrical cables (for heating up water?! See... More

I stayed in a 6 bed dorm for 4 nights over carnival. The room was tiny with just 2 bunk beds each having 3 beds stacked on top... as i was last in I got the top.. the bed would have been quite comfortable, but as they were old everytime someone would move in the bed the whole bunk would... 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

Good place, good location, but rooms.. are not ventilated.
