    I had a great experience staying at Gaia in Botafogo. the location was fantastic, with easy access to the beach, restaurants, shops, supermarkets. the hostel itself was clean and well-maintained, with spacious rooms and modern bathrooms. the shared kitchen was a plus, allowing me to cook my own meals. the staff, particularly one staff member who was incredibly helpful, made my stay even better. The hostel attracted a respectful and professional crowd, making it a pleasant and quiet environment. Cons: Nothing not to like. 😊.

    Conveniently located near public transportation and a popular beach. The rooms are comfortable and offer a good night's sleep. The hostel staff, particularly Isabella, was extremely helpful and provided useful information and assistance for our city trip.

    There were issues with the room availability upon our arrival, which caused some inconvenience. Additionally, the limited number of bathrooms, especially for the number of guests, resulted in queues and delays.
