Definitely one of those unique party hostels where you can still get a good night or day's sleep. I stayed in one of the upstairs rooms and even when it was loud on the patio, the room was very quiet. The AC also worked well to the point that some folks had to use blankets. Staff was very nice and... More

Dorms are cramped, and the bathrooms at this Misti are worse than the Botafogo ones in terms of cleanliness. The outer door was left unlocked constantly, didn't feel particularly safe. Avoid the beds nearest the A/C units,... More
