Cabanacopa has a great location on copacaban beach, decent bar area and breakfast was ok, however the hostel is has little else to offer. The bathrooms are not very clean, and the bathrooms (particularly the downstairs shower) is completly unfunctional and the standard of the rooms is just as bad. No towels are given, workers are not overly friendly either.... More

I stayed in this hostel during Easter holidays. Location is great (Copacabana is around 7 minuts walking), 2 minuts from the metro (at the same time hostel is situated at a quiet street), big hostel with many backpackers staying there (at least during the time i was there). People working in the hostel are very friendly (especially cleaning staff and... More

I you want to go to copacabana, this is your hostel. Even though the rooms are very small and the beds have military comfort, you won't find a better hostel in the area. Every day you see backpackers coming from other hostels moving to cabanacopa because the other hostels are so bad. Positive: - location - amazing big screen tv... More

A great friendly place to stay. Breakfast, free wifi, and free use of the computers are included in the already low price. Great location, a safe metro station is just around the corner. The famous Copacabana Beach is just a five minute walk away. The very friendly, helpful front of house staff can arrange tours/transfers at a great price. Looking... More

Our suitcases literally did not fit in the room! The 'en-suite' was the size of a small shower with a toilet and a... More

Eu estive com minhas amigas no Cabanacopa Hostel em fevereiro de 2012, logo após o carnaval. O local é lindo proóximo a praia, mercados, fast foods, é convidativo, bem localizado, a recepção é sensacional, o interior é aconchegante, roupas de cama limpas, funcionários extraordinários, atenciosos e além de tudo alegres! AMEI a experiência de ficar 7 dias no Rio e... More

Nice clean room, hot shower, nice breakfast, good bar, excellent location on a safe street, near the beach. Would def stay here again if in Rio!

We found the hostel quite hard to find from their directions, and mid journey we had to go on google maps at an internet cafe. The security is excellent though and you have to be buzzed in which is good, there there is no lock to the room where you store your bags after checkout. We stayed in a 8... More

I stayed at this hostel in January 2012, my friend and I had booked a twin room and obviously paid extra for it, however when we entered our room, it was extremely small and not worth the money at all. There was a bunk bed and 2 lockers, nothing else. There was no room for anything else as the room... More
