We blindly booked this place because most hostels were booked and someone told us to call here. When we first arrived, we had opted for the largest dorm..it was their cheapest room, but really about the same price as other hostels. When I saw the room I thought I had walked into a human trafficking operation. Bunk beds stacked 3... More

I have stayed in this hostel twice now and I cannot recommend it enough. It is not the prettiest hostel in the world but it is certainly the most fun! The vibe is amazing the staff are great, they can offer you so many trips plus is only a short walk from copacabana beach and a couple of fun clubs.... More

stayed here when travelling its very cheap and cheerful and great location rather dirty but its a hostel go to the bar in the evening and meet lots of people and they have an event every night! its a great place to meet people, get drunk and passout in your plastic covered bed! More

OMG! Why in earth did I pick this place. First of all the location is horrible and its located in this weird side street. I got lost several times and when I would ask people around the area for directions;they never heard of "mellow yellow" hostel. PLEASE AT ALL COST STAY AWAY.

Horrible! Dont ever stay there! Dirt, Ugly, unpolite people, terrible. The website is 130% false, they dont have a jacuzzi, they dont have a tv room or a videogame room, the breakfast is DISGUSTING: cold cooffe, cold scrambed eggs, hard bread, no butter, no juices, no fruits, dirt dishes. It doesnt worth the price! More

The room, that she said was the best, was terrible!! Dark, dirty, with mold. The manager thought I was a dumby, and... More

This place is not good! It's not terrible neighter, but I woudn't recommend it unless you have no better options - a difficult thing to happen, BTW. The staff is nice - except for an ogre called Tulio -, the ambiance is good - especially at the bar, where they serve free caipirinhas and the localization is great (just behind... More
