Great design hostel
Due to a glitch with booking, we got given a better room at a cheaper price. We were able to occupy, what appeared to be, a 4 bedded dorm with our own private, extremely spacious bathroom for just the 2 of us, for 4 nights. The hostel is well located in an area with plenty of bars and restaurants. Only 15-20 minutes bus ride to Barra for the beach and a further 10 minutes to get to old town. The breakfast was pretty standard and was similar to breakfasts we had had in other Brazilian hostels - a selection of fresh fruit, bread, ham, cheese. However the fruit "juices" were extremely diluted and tasteless, so we kept away. We used their TV room a few nights since it appeared no one else was using it. Unfortunately it wasn't the most social hostel and so for that, it felt more like a hotel.

Horrible
Es bastante feo el hostal, no se dejen llevar por las fotos. En la descripción dice ropa de cama de calidad y hasta estaba rota, la almohada toda manchada. Es un lugar muy inseguro, ya que no controlan el acceso y a las habitaciones puede entrar quien quiera. Tuvimos que quedarnos ahi ya que teniamos pagada la reserva y no disponíamos de mas dinero para volver a pagar. Las personas que atienden, dos chicos que hablan español, son bastante buena onda e intentaron ayudarnos dentro de sus posibilidades. El barrio es bastante feo tambien.

Atenção
Embora conste na reserva que há ar condicionado no quarto, a equipe somente o liga das 23h às 8h. No restante do tempo, o quarto é extremamente abafado e quente. A piscina estava em manutenção e, novamente, em nenhuma parte da minha reserva me alertaram isso. Assim como o ar condicionado, só soube da impossibilidade de aproveitar a piscina em cima da hora. Apesar das ausências de aviso, recusaram a devolver o dinheiro, alegando que concordei ao entrar no hostel (obviamente não ficaria na rua após chegar de uma viagem longa). Outro ponto negativo é a limpeza do local, que deixa muito a desejar, especialmente no quarto. Quanto a equipe, foram muito simpáticos e legais.

Ótimo custo benefício
O hostel é bem localizado no bairro do Rio Vermelho. Pra quem procura barzinhos é um ótimo lugar pra ficar, já pra quem prefere praia não é a melhor opção. Fica um pouco longe dos prontos turísticos. Porém o hostel é bem arrumado. O quarto que eu fiquei bem aconchegante, porém um dos poucos com ar condicionado. Se for prioridade, verifique se seu quarto terá ar. O café não tem muitas opções, porém é gostoso. A área da piscina tbm é bem gostosa de ficar. Por ficar no terraço, pega sol o tempo todo e tem uma vista muito bonita. A noite tbm é uma delícia de ficar lá. Adorei a minha estadia neste hostel e, com certeza, voltaria a me hospedar nele.

O quarto é bem organizado e espaçoso, mas o ar condicionado, que é ligado apenas às 23 e desligado às 8, não chega bem nas camas de cima. Os banheiros são bem limpos. O café da manhã é razoável.
