"La chambre était propre mais la cuisine je n'ai jamais vu ça auparavant, poubelle débordante de déchets, micro ondes sentant le cadavre, impossible de faire bouillir l'eau de mon café, une honte car cette maison fait partie du patrimoine de Rio. Voiture abandonnée dans la rue, drogués faisant leur neccessidades dans la rue, Je ne comprends pas que l'on est pas fermée cet établissement. Nunca voltarei ahi."

"Wonderful staff. The place itself is very well located, but the bunkers are not very solid and are made from light wood (I was on the top one and all night waking up because every time the guest underneath me moved, the whole bed moved too). The communal shower is also very tight. Overall, budget friendly for backpackers who don't mind a certain degree of discomfort "
