−Unfortunately the hostel decided to put a Palestine sticker in it's reception and take side in a conflict they don't have any connection to. It was very upsetting and insulting to see this. Also it felt like the reception staff are doing us a favor that they are welcoming us. They reacted with not a pleasant face when they heard we are from Israel. Hope you won't treat other guest like this based on their nationality and take this sticker out from your reception and leave your opinions at home.

+Friendly people in the reception, I liked the beds (small light,charge area, curtains), many bathrooms, breakfast included in the price, many boxes for your valuables, good hot water, every morning the cleaning ladies clean around. It's a big house with many rooms, hammocks and if it doesn't rain many places to chill. They have a music room with some instruments, there is #104 bus which made it easy to get from the rodoviária do Rio. The hostel has character compared to many of the hostel you find in the big cities.
−Didn't felt safe to go around and during night the receptionist advised me to use uber. Didn't like the lighting it felt too dark.

“Argentines staff were rude and disrespectful”
+The brazilian staff were lovely and super helpful when I arrived. However, the two argentines who work there, at least during my stay, dismissed my questions, were extremely rude, unprofessional, and uncomfortable to be around. It is very clear that they treat people differently based on how they look and the color of their skin. Hint: They love europeans and can't get over them! Thus, they treat non-europeans, and especially latinos and brasilians of color, as if they were not worth their time, as if it was not their damn job to be helpful. Please give me a break: we are the true natives of this continent. They are not. They have only been trying to get rid of any american "stains" on their blood since the funding of their national state. Dear people of the world: please open your eyes: they are the ones gentrifying our beaches, making our countries more expensive, distracting the locals, ruining the experience of other tourists...
−I couldn't use the kitchen the only time I needed it because this man (aka argentinian-softy-looking-disgrace) couldn't stand another person in the room. After a few hours, since my phone service didn't work, i had to ask him for directions to which he replied: "oh i have roaming from my country... i don't care".... Now, please keep in mind I was only asking him to explain me how to get back to the hostel from Lapa in case I got lost... I had only arrived there a day ago. Simply shameful that there are Argentines, outside their country, who believe they are superior to everyone else, and especially the locals. I simply couldn't stay there comfortably. I only stayed one night out of four or five nights in total.
