- No pets allowed — The hostel does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Mixed overall rating — With a rating of 6/10 and no rating categories broken down, it's worth checking recent reviews for consistency.
- Area might be too lively for some — The hostel's proximity to Lapa's party scene is a draw for some but could mean noise for light sleepers.

6Verified guest“My stay was great. Rooms were spotless and cosy, and the location was ideal for exploring Lapa. The free caipirinha on Fridays was a brilliant touch for kicking off the weekend.”
6Verified guest“Staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to help. Being next to the police station made it feel safe, and it's close to Lapa's party scene and Dumont Airport. Showers and toilets were always clean, and every bed had its own plug. The location is well placed – not far from the airports and near the famous beaches. The people are kind, and the hostel fits well. There's a water filter, balconies, and solid Wi-Fi.”
