Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 22:00, so if you arrive late at night, you'll need to make other arrangements.
- No pets allowed — Travelers with pets will need to look elsewhere, as the hostel does not permit animals on site.
- Some rooms lack air conditioning — While several dorms and private rooms include air conditioning, the basic dormitories do not list it, which could be a consideration in Rio's heat.
