I stayed here because everywhere as filling and this was on of the cheaper but well located hostels. The breakfast was excellent, meats, cheeses, fruit, cake, cereal and toast. Really good! The rooms were decent enough and it had a good atmosphere and the caprihinis they made were just fab. The reception was a little disinterested but not rude. Location... More

Myself and my Boyfriend stayed in private room in this hostel from the 19th to the 25th of March 2013 and it was a complete waste of money! We got over charged for our room, which was disgusting! It was dark, dank and dirty! Luckily we had our own sleeping bags and pillowcases because the sheets looked as though they... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at El Misti as a last resort as everywhere in Rio was literally booked. El Misti has a few hostel chains in Rio, so I'm not sure if it was this exact hostel or their other hostel in Copacabana. But either way the hostel was horrible. We were in a 10 bed dorm (as that...

El Misti is a very decent travellers hostel. The dorms are a little busy and crowded, with not too many toilets, but if you can see past this then it is a nice place to stay, and a great place to meet other travellers. It is located in a nice spot behind the Copacabana beach about 10 minutes walk away... More

I have been travelling South America with my partner for nearly four months and while we have encountered some dodgy hostels along the way, I have never felt compelled to write a review until now, in fact this is the first review I have ever wrote. We have just checked out of El Misti today after spending New years there... More

very unclean hostel, just populated(when I was) by argentinian people which makes difficult to other countries people to get integrated. I used to live in argentina so for me was a good stay but the only relatively good thing of this hostel is the location.......

I agree with the free pickup being a hoax. Lack of response to Emails shows they are not keen for business. Location was great, walk to beach and subways a bonus. Reception staff not friendly or helpful but the kitchen/cleaning crew were nice. Breakfast was great. Would not recommend this hostel - not said lightly as I have stayed in... More

Stayed for 4 nights in a private room with shared bathroom. Apparently there are two hostels a few roads apart. Stayed in the emilio hostel. Room was small but was cheap for the location just four blocks from the beach. The area itself was a little intimidating but it was great to be so close to everything in copacabana. Breakfast...

The misti hostel in Copacabana it's really well situated. Near the beach, the subway station... but it's not a good hostel. The employers are really nice but they do not control the hours people should be quiet or just times to clean up the bedrooms (in my case, our room was cleaned at 20.00pm...). The rooms are too small and... More

El Misti hostel received us in the early afternoon when we arrived in Rio. We had nothing booked and fortunately they had 2 beds for us. The place is perfectly located, 3 blokes from Avenida Atlantica and Copacabana beach, with comfy beds, quite small bathrooms, but with a great daily breakfast.
