Worst hostel ever!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 2/16/10
This was the worst hostel I've ever stayed in! My friends and I fled after only one night, which we spent on the roof rather than in the room for multiple reasons. First, this hostel is not in the heart of Ipanema as it claims (it's actually on the border of Copacabana and closer to postos 6 and 8 than posto 9). Next, imagine a room about the size of your kitchen with 12 people crammed into it in three story bunk beds! Next imagine unflushed toilets, shaving scraps scattered over sink rims, big wads of hair sitting in the showers, lockers with giant holes at the back (half my belongings fell down to the locker below), and irritable neighbors who complain about noise every few minutes. Visitors beware!
