Flo: Super nice place to stay. The service is good, staff and volunteers are super nice and helpful with everything and the vibe is good. The Hostel is well located and close to a metro Station. Also close to Lapa with lot of bars and restaurants. With subway just in 15 minutes in copacabana and Ipanema. Would definitely come again.

Anaís S.: Great for meeting new people, it's a beautiful hostel, good breakfast and friendly environment. I loved how closed it was to everything, i also stayed at Copacabana and it wasn't the same, staying here gives you a full Carioca experience. Also, not suitable for you if you are only looking for resting, music is loud until 11 or 12 at night.

Rea: Friendliest staff and amazing community feeling in this hostel. Every morning guests get delicious breakfast such as fresh pancakes, french toast and cake along with fruit, juices coffee and tea. The location is splendid: close to the metro station, Gloria market and walking distance to super markets, bakeries and great restaurants. Rooms and bathrooms are kept neat and clean. Would definitely visit again.

Vrun B: I stayed at discovery hostel for 4 days in their private room with shared bathroom. Unfortunately when I arrived I saw women’s hair on the bed sheets which was disappointing considering I payed around £48 per night which is around 354 reels! Not cheap. The introduction I received from the lady at the hostel was very low energy and lack luster it was like she wasn’t interested in showing guest around or even being proud of the establishment. I would also recommend not using the taxi service as I was charged 170 reels which I know is my fault as it was pre booked however it was expensive it was triple the normal uber price and also make sure you don’t book on the main sight tour it’s completely rushed and not organised. Now for the positive the staff are pleasant and the people are very friendly and it’s close to good night life however having the title the best hostel for me they are more focused on being a business and money oriented than having a connection with their guests. This is my opinion overall 5/10

Kevin Moy: Hostel has homey feel & staff are friendly especially Benjamin! There are three things about the hostel that I did not like. 1) The majority of the hostel is occupied by volunteers (not for the hostel) which led to cliques & made it harder for those not volunteering to feel included. 2) There are not nearly enough bathrooms for the amount of guests, I could never use the toilet b/c it was occupied. 3) There were multiple people who told me the area by the hostel was unsafe including someone who was robbed right in front of the hostel. Personally, the rating on Hostelworld was misleading to me, there are better options closer to the beach for solo travelers.
