I arrived in Rio without a place to stay, yet it was my DESTINY to find myself in Alpha (that is a joke for Paulo Coelho fans) . . but really, breakfast is the best I have ever had in a hostel, and the people who work there are great.
To sum it up in one word - Excellent. oh yeah, the issue of cleanliness is not always number one for travelers, but with this place I was impressed. They have also recently renovated their facilities to accomodate for carnaval, too!
