For international travels to Brazil, if only one of the parents is travelling with the child, the parent must present – in addition to the child's certificate of birth and identity card with photo – a letter authorising the trip signed by the other parent with a notarial certification of signature. If the parents or the legal guardian, as applicable, cannot or are unwilling to give this authorisation, a judicial authorisation is required. People intending to travel to Brazil with children must consult with the Brazilian consulate prior to travelling for more information.

Liked: Staff & service
Window in our room wouldn't close, reception sent maintenance up promptly but it wasn't fixable. Also the tap in the shower had been spun out from the wall so wouldn't work, but we screwed back on ourselves once we figured it out. Mattress needed replacing or cleaning. Good location next to the selaron steps, markets and Lapa for food and bars. Breakfast had a nice selection. Rooftop bar was an added bonus. Quiet inside the hotel.

They have a bar on the rooftop with DJ, magnificent view of Lapa in the night, sometimes they close the bar at 10:30pm, you have a welcome drink from 5:00pm to 5:30pm so don't be late.

One of the best hostels! The dining options were great, the room clean, guard on duty (it's Brazil....). Pretty building. I was able to walk everywhere I needed to go.
