DK Eyewitness "This Argentinian... is a popular party venue. Unlike most hostels, Che Lagarto does not offer a shuttle service."
Rough Guide "The best of Rio’s Che Lagarto hostels is in a good location just a couple of blocks from the beach and a short walk to the bars and nightlife of both Ipanema and Leblon."

You should still avoid the standard rooms, which are smaller and face the back of the building.
