CabanaCopa Hostel

Avoid this place like the plague!! Had to cut the stay short since I got sick from the dirtiest hostel I have ever been to. You have to literally sleep on a napkin that is it moves you see the stained mattress. Everything smells terrible! 1. Room very smelly - bed stained, covers don’t stay in place, Pillow smelly 2. Bathroom dirty and smelly. No place to hang your things or place them 3. Sleeping under an A/C unit with water dripping on to bed and pillow. (Developed a cough after one night) A/C blows cold air in your face. 4. Towels had a terrible smell even when clean. Strong smell of body order over a long period of time

Honestly apart from the good location everything else kinda sucks. Staff weren’t really attentive and didn’t seem to care. You have to make your own bed which is fine, but the mattress and pillow i had was covered in so many stains it’s wild they let me see that. The 5 bed dorm I was in also was cramped, take the funny little bed out and it would be okay. Hardly any room to put stuff and not enough lockers for people in the room. It was hot, stuffy and stunk the whole time. The hostel was also really noisy at night time, people rattling doors etc and just shouting in the hallways. Not a party hostel, just a poor place to stay.

Absolutely loved my stay at CabanaCopa Hostel. The location is excellent, a five minute walk to many bars, restaurants, stores, and Copocabana Beach. The staff were wonderful and friendly, and the social atmosphere of the hostel was the best part of my trip to Rio. The rooms are small but for such a price, it's impossible to complain. I would recommend to any backpacker.

The hostel is fine enough, but I got sick from a leaky AC mounted inches above my head that leaked water everywhere in my bed and on the floor. The kitchen is also poorly equipped, and you can only prepare basic meals.

The hostel is in a good location and it felt safe. You do need to walk up a large hill, and the hostel has a lot of stairs so every day was leg day there. The kitchen is a little small but the rooftop is nice. Unfortunately it closes early. The room was a bit small and smelled bad. The air conditioning is nice and you can use it all day if you wish. The lockers are old and very squeaky, so you wake everyone up when you try to get your stuff. The beds are also quite squeaky. There are 2 showers for around 4 rooms, and 1 of them was closed for maintenance for most of my stay, which was a little unfortunate. It’s a decent place to stay if you’re on a budget!

Had one of the worst stays ever at this hotel, and wrote a comment on tripadvisor. Not them answering back and being snappy! you guys will do anything BUT clean ya rooms and provide good service lmao. get off the internet and start cleaning!!!!!

Really nice hostel, clean, really close to the beach and the metro. The neighborhood is completely safe to walk around. The hostel staff is really nice and ready to help with anything.

Why do you have a whatsapp/ phone number if you don't answer your customers? It should be very easy and straightforward to change a booking at a hostel but seems impossible in this place Very unprofessional
