"Wonderful staff. The place itself is very well located, but the bunkers are not very solid and are made from light wood (I was on the top one and all night waking up because every time the guest underneath me moved, the whole bed moved too). The communal shower is also very tight. Overall, budget friendly for backpackers who don't mind a certain degree of discomfort "

"Minha estadia no Rio Vibes Hostel foi simplesmente incrível! O ambiente é acolhedor, a equipe super simpática e sempre disposta a ajudar. Um dos pontos altos foi, sem dúvida, o café da manhã: simples, mas preparado com muito carinho e sabor. Pães fresquinhos, frutas, café delicioso e aquele clima de casa que faz toda a diferença. É o tipo de lugar que te faz sentir bem desde o primeiro dia. Com certeza voltarei e recomendo para quem busca conforto, boa energia e uma ótima localização!"
