First of all, the room was very comfortable. It was very neat, with private bathroom and everything pretty much new. With Tv, Wi-Fi, air conditioning and even had a fridge girl to keep whatever we wanted, worthy of a hotel! And what I most remarked was waking up and having the view, on one side the Morros and, on the other, the Copacabana beach with the ocean in the distance. (We were in the private room for 2).
With regard to the staff I can safely say that they were, until now, the most attentive and responsible I knew. Any problem or question to solve, they went out to look for the solution and, until you were satisfied, did not stop.
The hostel itself, had a semi-enclosed terrace, from which you can see at night the beach (the boats and the lantern that illuminates one of the islands), the favela and on the other side it is enlightened to the Christ. It's a unique feeling that makes you know you're in Rio! By day it is wonderful, especially in the morning when you are for breakfast with all that view.
Very good breakfast: coffee with milk, milk, chocolate or tea pata choose; Ham and cheese sandwich toasted with scrambled egg and different typical fruits of the area!
About the location I can speak in two ways.
First of all about how close it was to the Copacabana Beach (Station 3), the Metro (Stop Sequeira Campos), to take any bus and it was also close to supermarkets and shopping malls.
To go up to the Hostel, if you do not want to walk for tiredness or whatever, you have the motorcycles taxis (to January 2018 went for trip R $3) which are just beginning the hillside.
Second, to be on the nose (the favela) one by not knowing can be impressed QE and, it could be said, even with fear, but that is only until you climb up the hillside two work in which comenzás to see that there are working people who only want is improvement R its place, for it and for all tourists (by the way, are very prepared for tourism to the point of helping you for any problems you have). As the days passed, one was safer above (at El Morro) than down (on the beach and downtown), because in addition, the same people in the area want to see you well.
We do not go out at night (for personal reasons) but in the same hostel there is a guide for that.
The owner of the same hostel always attentive, had no problems to make us change dollars or reals at a better price than the exchange houses and all the time asking if we were missing or needed something.
In short, within the best parts of Rio I've been staying at this hostel, because beyond being a place just to sleep, was a learning of the deepest reality and the people of Rio de Janeiro.
I recommend it without thinking to those who have no problem climbing stairs (yes, there are several) and those who want to know something fabulous apart from the beaches, the Christ, the Pao or whatever, and life itself within a favela.
A unique and enriching experience!
