"Pros: It's close to one of the most popular trails in Rio, and if you want to be there at sunrise it's super convenient to stay there. The hostel was really quiet, as well as the surrounding areas, and the sunset over the beach looked nice too. Also the breakfast was rich, with fresh fruits and juice, much more than you normally get in a hostel. Cons: The windows don't come with fly screens. So bring your own, or you get eaten alive. The bed are quite short, and have nasty wooden frames where I hit my head and feet at the same time." ~Oliver
