It is really a party hostel!!! If you wanna sleep at night early and don't want to go out you better choose another hostel, but to get to know a lot of people and party that's the right place to be.

I had a great time here. One of my favourite hostels. I loved the themed dinner evenings and was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food. There was live music, a really nice bar and the chill out room was really appreciated! awesome!

Good party hostel, but the rooms are bad. Least my room look like from some cheap mexican motel. But if you like to party and dont care how your room looks like, this is your hostel.

They organise lots of excursions. There is a bar, you can have dinner, good place to make friends. But its a very big hostel, five floors. Reception is very chaotic, cant realy ask anything. Lots of people walking in and out. If you like a party hostel, you should go to mellow yellow. I had a bit of a salou (spain) feeling if yoo know what I meen.

Great place. Lots of fun, good location. Bar is a little pricy after happy hour(which is well cheap), but after a couple. no-one cares anyway. I will definately return one day.

Excellent hostel. Great location, one block from metro and 2 from beach. Staff couldnt have been more helpful, booking tours, advising, etc. Had 4-bed female dorm with air con, own bathroom, 3 lower bunks. Big bar to hang out, good breakfast. Great place.

The bar on the top floor is great to meet people. They organize trips very often, which are good. Some of them were overprised though. 5 min to the beach - great beach. The nightlife scene in Copacabana is not good, it's best to go in some other area during the night.
