Reviews and Ratings
The hostel is a cozy spot very close to Copacabana Beach, with a friendly atmosphere and basic amenities. Though the shared rooms offer a simple stay, the noise levels can be disruptive at times. The price is budget-friendly, making it a decent option for those seeking a no-frills accommodation near the lively beach scene.
