I didn't like More Ipanema. From the very beginning, I felt there is no social vibe in here. People only go to the bar for free caipirinhas, and then they all disappear. If you travel by yourself, then I wouldn't recommend you staying here.
The hostel is like a low-cost airline: they want to charge you for everything. Towels, blankets and even for taking a shower after checking out! (This was totally unbelievable for me: I've stayed +7n in here, I just want to take a shower before going to the airport!)
Comfort: 0. Everything is impractical: beds are for kids, because you can't sit in there nor sleep well. There are no curtains, and you're not assigned any bed, so you have to choose yours as soon as you arrive. Also, you have to prepare your own bed with the sheets they give you. Mattress was hard as a stone.
Social spaces: -1. There are no common spaces to meet people. Only the bar, with loud music and free caipirinhas for 30 min.
Hot water: 10/10. Taking showers was the best thing! Even though the bathroom is not always clean, hot water was perfect. You don't have any soap to wash your hands, so it's a bit disgusting.
Wi-Fi: 10/10. It worked perfectly! Anyway, there are no working spaces, s it's not a digital nomads hostel.
No water dispenser.
Volunteers: they do a great job!
There's a WhatsApp group, but whenever you complain about something from the hostel, the admin writes a pm to kindly ask you to delete it. Amazing
If I go to RJ again, I wouldn't stay here.
