- “ This place is in a great spot, has excellent staff and a owner who is more concerned about your experience of Rio than just making money. Would definitely recommend to travellers who like a drink and socialising with others. ”

- “ Books is the best! And in such a great location, Lapa is always full of things to do at night with much less tourists so you get to experience the culture! I had an amazing time and will definitely return to Books in the future. ”

- “ My friends and I really enjoyed Books, but the lack of bathrooms and the room without Air Conditioner was a big disappointment, one night a friend slept at the floor of another room because ours was so hot that it was impossible to sleep, when we arrived they told us that we could let the door of our room open so the air of another room (this one with Air conditioner) could enter in ours and refresh us, but this didn't work out and we lost all the privace of our room. ”

- “ The staff here was awesome! Alisha, Cama and Alex helped out a lot and made my stay so much better. Lots of nightlife here, and always something to do. Highly recommend it. And if you catch Serafin drinking a Smirnoff ice, punch him for me. ”
