- “ 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. ”

- “ It would have been better to tell before the guests that it was so noisy during the day, for the air-conditioning work ”

- “ Books hostel is one of te best hostel I've ever staid in. The staff go out of there way to help you with everything from directions around Rio to booking flights. My time in the beautiful city of Rio was so amazing thanks to the staff at Books. The facalities are also great with comfortable beds and good kitchen facilities and the atmosphere is unrivaled to any other hostel. ”

- “ Phillipe and the crew were very welcoming and had a great laugh. Great hostel just off the main street in Lapa with good bus links to Copacabana. The beds were comfy and the rooms/bathrooms very clean. This is a lively and fun loving hostel with lots of activity and a group always going out so if you want a quiet stay, I would not recommend. ”

- “ Very friendly and helpful staff!!! Wouldn't recommend the 2nd floor big dorm if you don't like the smoke or too much noise. ”

- “ Really good hostel, great atmosphere, good facilities. Others I met traveling in Rio didn´t seem to rate theirs as highly. Just be aware there´s a great bar in a courtyard, with the rooms surrounding it, so it´s not always great if you want an early night, but otherwise I cannot reccommend highly enough. It´s in Lapa, I think the description said Santa Teresa. ”
