You get what you pay for
The location was good , and conditions acceptable if you had no money to look for a better place . I had 5 day reservation pay for it, and left the next day . Perfect for backpackers or anyone that don’t care about looks .

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Nicely located place, decent breakfast, some interesting travellers, and lots of space to hang out or sit in silence. The neighbourhood is apparently not the safest but I didn't have problems.

Stay marred by # of stairs from street + noise
Overall a good experience marred by: -dozens is stairs needed to get to the hostel from the street. Not noted In previous reviews. - noise New Years midnight to 6am as they hold a New Years party. Rio Forest refunded our room payment for that night. Wi-Fi worked, room was comfortable.
