Me acomodei no hostel no mes de abril de 2018 e debitaram um valor do meu cartão e ate hoje nao estornaram, valor este que foi debitado antes de minha chegada e disseram se tratar de um adiantamento que em momento algum foi abatido de valor total que paguei pela estadia. O hostel nao responde e-mail e nem contato que fiz pelo expedia. No mais, nao recomendo o hostel pois as instalações nao sao confortaveis, os quartos sao apertados e a localização não facilita uma saída noturna sem auxilio de apps de mobilidade. Gostaria de elogiar os funcionários que foram receptivos e simpáticos. Aguardo posicionamento referente a minha devolução de valores. ##### Verified traveler Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2018 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Rosano Feb 2, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Nicely located place, decent breakfast, some interesting travellers, and lots of space to hang out or sit in silence.

Cama horrível e travesseiros idem. Quarto apertado e sem cortina, ou seja, você é acordado com o sol na cara. Banheiro pequeno e a descarga estava quebrada. Manutenção precária do estabelecimento em geral.

O hostel precisa de um pouco mais de cuidado com a limpeza e com os colchões que são desconfortáveis. A localização é muito boa, principalmente para quem vai usar o aeroporto Santos Dumont, é o pessoal do hostel é bastante prestativo. ##### Verified traveler Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lilian Dec 9, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Agradável, ótima localização, ambiente agradável Nunca havia ficado em hotel antes, este foi o primeiro!

Excelente albergue para quem visita a cidade do Rio de Janeiro-RJ. As acomodações são agradáveis e limpas, o café da manhã é pontual e especial, a equipe humana é diversificada, compreensível, divertida e informativa. A casa está localizada no bairro Santa Tereza, muito perto do Centro histórico, do Morro Curvelo, dos arcos da Lapa, dos Museus, dos teatros, dos bancos e da panificadora oficial dos biscoitos globo... A locomoção do turista pode ser feita a pé e ou com transporte público para qualquer praia e ou ponto turístico da cidade maravilhosa. ##### Christian Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Greg Aug 26, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great place Great staff ##### Greg Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Gustavo Aug 18, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ótimo Hostel Muito boa.

Funcionários legais e prestativos, tudo ótimo, tirando a ladeira que temos que subir e descer pra acessar o Hostel. Tem Bondinho que passa em frente mas ele para de funcionar cedo, tem onibus também mas nao tem ponto perto. Café da manhã regrado demais, horrivel mas tudo bem é o único detalhe negativo. ##### Vitinho Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lucas Jul 26, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Muito bom Hostel perto do centro e da vida noturna do Rio, muito limpo, bom atendimento, com uma vista incrível e todas as áreas do hostel são muito confortáveis. Só deixou a desejar no café da manhã, pois, diz ser incluso mas só pode pegar uma vez sem nem poder pegar mais um copo de suco. ##### Lucas Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Mathieu Mar 28, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Chambre Forest Très bon séjour de cinq nuits au Rio Forest dans la chambre avec balcon, vraiment agréable! Le quartier est central et pratique pour toutes les visites de la ville (plages, centre...) mais un peu difficile d'accès en montée, ne pas hésiter a prendre des taxis qui sont à des tarifs vraiment abordables. Le point négatif c'est l'implication du bar et petit déjeuner, ne parlant pas anglais donc sans effort supplémentaire en plus du service de base. Les réceptionnistes, eux, sont tous eux très sympas et serviables! Un très bon hôtel dans l'ensemble avec la piscine trop agréable en fin de journée. ##### Mathieu Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Bart Feb 17, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Prima verblijf voor 3 nachten Toen we met de taxi de rit naar het hostel namen schrokken we in eerste instantie een beetje van de buurt waar we doorheen gingen, maar al snel kwamen we in een andere buurt terecht en zag het er redelijk veilig uit. Eenmaal bij het hostel belden we aan en moesten we een redelijk lange trap omhoog lopen met de bagage, gelukkig kwam er na de eerste trap een klein gondeltje naar beneden om de bagage op te halen, want om bij het hostel te komen moet je nog een stukje klimmen (en in de hitte is dat best zwaar!) eenmaal boven werd onze bagage uit de gondel gehaald de de receptioniste en naar de receptie gesleept (het was een klein vrouwtje, maar ze wilde heel graag helpen!) inchecken verliep vlot en ik kon het resterende bedrag met mijn creditcard betalen (bleek ook nog eens 10 euro goedkoper te zijn vanwege de koerswisseling!) vervolgens moesten we weer een trap op om bij onze privé kamer te komen (santa Teresa) en de receptioniste bood weer aan om de tas de tillen, uiteindelijk hebben we het met z'n tweetjes gedaan ;-). De kamer was erg hoog, er was airco en een aparte badkamer, maar alles oogde een beetje oud, is ook wel de stijl van het hostel. beddengoed wordt niet verschoond, maar je bed wordt wel opgemaakt iedere dag! Geluidsoverlast hadden we ook nauwelijks. metro stations liggen op loopafstand, maar je moet niet slecht ter been zijn. Hostel is zeker een aanrader, vooral dankzij de staff!! ##### Bart Verified ### 8/10 Good #### GEORGIOS Feb 9, 2016 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort Disliked: Cleanliness #### Bautiful Hostel, nice location Beautiful hostel, nice private room, friendly staff.
