DK Eyewitness "Copacabana’s only boutique hotel has a series of designer suites in a business-like, tall, narrow tower."

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."

"Serves a free breakfast and has a pleasant outdoor terrace and communal kitchen. Many of the rooms are dorm-style... it typically draws a youthful, party-driven crowd." Full review
Lonely Planet "Convenient to the ferry dock and local nightlife, yet with a middle-of-the-jungle feel thanks to its forest-shrouded wooden sundeck, this chain hostel is geared to those looking for a youthful party vibe" Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Che Lagarto's Ipanema location is a popular spot for those young travelers who want to be close to the beach. It's a five-story hostel, with basic rooms " Full review
