All you expect from a proper hostel, Cabanacopa offers. I stayed in the girls-only dorm. My only remark is that the kitchen has shortage of plates and especially... More

After four months in South America this was the last hostel we stayed in, and it was one of the best hostels as well. We stayed in a female dorm with 10 beds. The room was well suited for girls with a big mirror, hair dryer and BIG lockers. What I really liked with this hostel was that dependent on... More

I spent a week in Rio in this hostel in march 2013. Very good hostel with friendly, helpful and fun staff, good location in Copacabana next to the beach and metro to visit around. Nice place to meet people, and you can also book for tours (soccer games, city highlights, favelas,...). Enjoy your stay there !

I had a terrible experience with this hostel. I paid beforehand and i needed to move out due to change of my travel plan. I gave them enough notice but they refused to refund me the date I moved out. In the end I got part of my money back but it was 6 month later!! And I had so... More

The location is about the only good thing to be noted about this hostel. The room we stayed in could easily have been confused with a walk-in-closet, had it not been for the excessive price. Well accommodation is generally pricy in Rio. The guy at the front desk seemed to be tired of asking tourist questions. As most other places,... More
