Stayed at this hostel for two nights and had a fantastic time! The staff speak fluent English so you'll be able to ask them about recommended tours, places to go and clubs/parties to go out to... this is quite important if you can't speak Spanish or Portuguese because just about no locals speak English. The rooms are clean, some are... More

This was a very great place to stay. Despite the previous reviews about them making wrong bookings and sending people to different hostels. The MAIN point for people planning to stay here - there are TWO seperate Che Lagartos. The one advertised here is for the private rooms (en suite and normal ones), then there is a che lagarto around... More

To start you are charged 5 reais per person for Internet use, and that is not on the website. I exchanged several emails trying to book a transfer to the airport and they didn't booked it at all.

This hostel is a very friendly place to be, it was our first time in south America and we felt very welcome. The receptionist was brilliant and took extra trouble to make sure were well looked after and had lots of helpful information about Rio. The hostel also had a great free breakfast, bread, cereal, meat, cheese, fresh fruit etc.... More

I must be honest and say that we didn’t like Che Lagarto Copacabana Anita Hostel at first. I was travelling with my daughter. We were given a double room - as I had booked- in the new wing (the new part apparently) of the hostel. EXTREMELY HOT!!! Apart from that, the room ONLY had a double bed. NOTHING ELSE, in... More

Che Lagarto Hostel, Copacabana was a super fun hostel. The staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and well sized. They offered tours during the day and fun parties to go to at night. They also had regular barbecues and events on in the evening. I would definitely recommend this hostel

A friendly hostel in a famous quarter of Rio. The hostel is clean and stuff is friendly Maybe a little too loudy. If you want to stay there during Carnival, book well in advance.
