Quando chegamos no quarto, estava todo sujo. Muitos cabelos no chão e no banheiro, areia no chão, não passaram pano, tinha papel higiênico no lixeiro!! Mostra que realmente sequer limparam, e ainda disseram que tinham limpo (mentira na cara dura). Os lençóis não estavam com cheiro de limpo, então bem capaz de não terem trocado também… só fiquei lá porque não tinha outro lugar para ir. As funcionárias são educadas.

Excelente custo-benefício, boa localização.

Ótimo local para descansar durante a semana, pois é muito calmo e silencioso no jardim perto da psicina com rede e cadeiras. O café da manhã é bom, apenas sentir falta de um cuscuz nordestino, porém o hostel entrega um bom café da manhã: com pão, frutas variadas, sucos, café, bolachas, tapioca, queijo, ovos e bolo. Vale a pena frisar sobre o café disponibilizado a qualquer momento do dia para os hospedes e na cozinha compartilhada tem um bebedouro com agua gelada livre, no calor da cidade é um diferencial. Quanto a recepção, atendentes bem gentis, sempre dispostos a ajudar. A gatinha mascote do hostel manaira, um charme. Voltarei mais vezes, sem duvidas.

Bom, mas precisa melhorar

O hostel tem uma ótima localização, com ambiente agradável e familiar, porém precisa ser renovado. Os colchões estão bem ruins e desconfortáveis, e as toalhas e roupas de cama, bem velhas. Tirando isso, tem tudo pra ser um excelente hostel.

Mais cuidado com a limpeza

Achei q a limpeza não era 100% pelo menos a do banheiro q eu usava percebi q não limpavam o chão do box e dentro… enfim limpeza sempre é fundamental e nunca é demais.

Boa localização e bom atendimento. O que precisa melhorar: wi-fi não funciona nos quartos e o quarto que fiquei tem uma janela no banheiro que fica de frente pra escada que sobe pro primeiro andar, o que gera uma falta de privacidade.

Funcionários secos e não cordiais

Local excelente, instalações boas mas os funcionários eram bem secos e nada amigáveis. Hostel que só tinha famílias e todas de mau humor. Não recomendo para viajantes solo! O meu quarto era no andar de cima não me ofereceram ajuda para carregar minha mala na escada espiral (funcionaria subindo a escada junto comigo). Café da manhã simples e as meninas da cozinha tbem com um humor bem matinal. Piscina verde.

Tem capa de 8, mas o conteúdo é de 3 estrelas.

É um Hostel bem localizado, bem bonito estruturado, bem charmoso. Mas deixa a desejar no quesito aconchego o ar condicionado liga as 21h e desligam as 09h. O quarto com ventilador é péssimo faz muito calor e o caseiro exige que a porta e janela fiquem abertas entrando muitos mosquitos e muita claridade. Se você vai para socializar, esqueça. É só um lugar bom para os olhos!
