Even the matresses were clean. They have frozen meals for purchase...

O quarto compartilhado misto com vista pro jardim é ótimo pois tem gaveta pra guardar as coisas com cadeado e cortinas na cama. Também gostei desse quarto pois as camas são beliche e não triliche. A internet também é boa pra quem pretende trabalhar durante a estadia. O único problema é que aqui no hoteis.com diz que tem café da manhã incluso mas eles cobram um valor aparte pelo café."

The communal shower is also very tight. Overall, budget friendly for backpackers who don't mind a certain degree of discomfort "

"Super clean, friendly, and well-maintained hostel in the heart of Copacabana. The staff is very warm and easy-going, I became friends with everyone quickly :). I liked how they updated the activities board daily and invited me to events going on that day. I even joined the Caipirinha-making class run by one of the staff, it was so much fun! This is the cleanest hostel I have stayed at, from the bathrooms to the beds to the kitchen, which made my stay extra comfortable. I also really liked how...
