City of God
Well after hearing various horror stories about Rio I tried to keep an open mind on our way there. It was a cold and wet journey from Ihla Grande and I was hoping for some serious sunshine! We arrived at our very nice hostel in Copacabana. The hostel was in a secure community with a police station right at the bottom and 5 mins walk from the beach …
The Samba Legend
This is a top pick! We woke up completely knackered had a bit of breako and got our first taste of Rio De Janeiro by walking down the hill from the hostel and towards the world famous Copacabana beach.

The lady however was quite simply not for waking and it took till after 11am before she would …

“ Carnival 2011 ”
Reviewed Mar 3, 2011
We had a fun stay here during carnival - shame about the massive bed bugs, the air conditioning that didn´t work, and the rude hostel management.....all in all, a bit of a kick in the teeth considering the extortionate rates they charged for the carnival package.
