Just wanted to reccommend everyone a great site for backpackers who are seeking budget accommodations like pousadas, cheap hotels etc..

I always like the web sites that are for free and that permit you see the link of the youth hostels web site

hostelsrio.com o rio-hostels.com

I think you meant www.rio-hostels.com the link for www.hostelsrio.com do not work... are the 2 sites the same?

I just want to recommend you an hostel in Rio. The Art hostel Rio rua silveira Martins,135. A friendly place with artists. Rooms decorated with musicians' names. Hall decorated with Mauricio Theo's pintures and grafs... They organise a Jazz concerts the 26 of July 2008. Let's go and appreciate.
