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.

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.
