Sep 08, 2007 - A very good hostel. I've been there twice and they have always made me feel welcome!
Feb 05, 2007 - Great breakfast , very safe place, and a wonderful knowledgeable staff. HIGHLY Recommended!!!
Mar 05, 2006 - I have stayed and worked with many hotels/hostels in America, Ireland, Spain and England.
And I can honestly say that Alpha Hostel is one of the best.
My trip to Rio de Janeiro was a nightmare (It is a long story involving an ex-girlfriend). The saving grace of my trip however, was the friendly staff at Alpha.
Everyone was more than willing to help me with my problems and offer advice about anything that was on my mind.
Their recommendations for local restaurants and discos were very good too.
I am not sure if I will go back to Rio de Janeiro. But if I do, I am definitely staying at Alpha Hostel.
