The Best part about el misti was the people. The people who work there are so friendly and i got to know almost all of them by name. They were always willing to tell you where the best place was to party that night and would even give you the address and phone number sometimes. They were also really great... more

I did not enjoy my stay at el misti. apart from the tripple bunkbeds being held together by selotape, the 9 person dorm i stayed in did not have a lock on the door because we were the only room with a bathroom and therefore other guests had full access to our room at all times of the day. yes... more

My partner and I stayed here in October 2008. Rio was the starting point of a 7 week overland trip through South America. Sadly the place was a complete shambles. Firstly, the taxi that was supposed to shuttle us from the airport to the hostel never arrived and we never got a clear explanantion as to why it didn't. This... more

had a really good time at this cool hostel, ideal to meet people and go partying... great buffet breakfast!! 5 minutes from the beach in the heart of copacabana... easy access to public transport metro, bus, etc... BBQs on Fridays! ... good inhouse bar and atmosphere. highly recommended (check out also Misti Chill in Paraty www.MistiChill.com) Stever more

This is a homely hostel. You get a lovely free breakfast included in the price, as well as a free pick up from the airport. The room we stayed in was no bigger than a closet, and there were 6-7 girls staying in there. You won't get much sleep, as people walk in and out, leaving the door to the... more

it was a very good experience to be there. met a lot of people from everywhere. this hostel is cheap and includes breakfast, which is very decent(fruits, oatmeal, bread, sometimes eggs, juices,etc) the room that i had, had 4 beds and the sheets were clean and you have a locker to store your bags. the staff are very very friendly... more

This hostel is the best ever. Me and my mate went travelling for 6 months and so we stayed in a lot of places but this was my favourite by far. We were there for Rio Carnival so that is probably why I loved it so much. It's cheap and not the greatest place for comfort but the staff there... more

La ubicación del hostel es buena, fácil acceso a la playa y cerca del comercio. Puedes compartir con bastantes personas... more
