The rooms are the size of a small closet, dirty, smell of mold, they give you a plastic bag with old sheets and old pillow cases that do not match, something your grandmother might use. No TV, no radio, no air conditioning. Just blank walls to stare at. I realized that I didnt have a towel and went to the... More

Great Location: Ipanema , just 5 minutes walking from the beach. A part of this, it is a horrible place to stay, rooms are very dirty and noisy. Bathroom are shared but there are just 3 (one for girls on the 1st floor, 1 for boys at the 2nd and the mix one on the 3rd.), so they are not... More

We stayed at Terrasse Hostel for 3 nights. It has a great location, just one block away from the Ipanema beach (between post 8 and 9). The room is not really clean with sand over the floor, sheets are dirty and old, really unconfortable. One of the room (n 9) wall is made with a thin wood panel, so you... More

We stumbled upon this hostel right in the center of Ipanema. It has the best location of any we'd seen, and were quickly welcomed by the animated owner. He quickly gave us a detailed tour and was friendly from the start. Throughout the trip he gave us plenty of recommendations, introduced us to other travelers and welcomed us with a... More

Nice place, good staff, good travellers. Good price for such place as Ipanema, 1 block away from the beach, 1 block away from General Osorio Praca — there's a metro station, fairs and Espaco Oi (Futuro) Ipanema. Caveats: restaurants at Ipanema are not as cheap as in the downtown or Santa Teresa; you need 30-40 minutes to get to downtown... More

The hostel is very close to the beach, however better hostels are available a block further away. The double room was smelly and small with worn out sheets with road noise. There is no common area to speak of.

I cant report on the hostel itself but I can comment on the owners. We just found out today that they cancelled our bookings during the carnival period, 2 weeks before it starts!!! The hostel booking website emailed me to state that they tried to get them to honour their bookings but they refused and have now been removed from... More

I had stayed one week in this hostel in single room with my own terrasse. I love it, totally. Walk out of the hotel you can find bars, restaurants, supermarket, one block to the beach... very nice location. You can go out in evening in Rio with no fear in this area. God bless you.
