Eu acho que o quarto compartilhado precisar urgentemente de uma restruturação na escada que dá acesso a cama de cima Péssima, a subida para cama de cima é até perigosa. No primeiro momento fiquei na cama de cima e depois de tanto pedi me trocaram de cama Esse foi o ponto positivo

Estadia razoável. Os lençóis eas fronhas estavam manchados, estacionamento cobrado a parte, não implícito no site. O banheiro precisa de manutenção na torneira. O piso do quarto tinha grãos de areia. Não entrei na piscina mas o aspecto do piso é bem sujo e engordurado. Questiono pois o valor da diária é bem elevado, podendo proporcionar uma estadia mais agradável.

O café da manhã deixou a desejar, em dias distintos percebi que não eram produtos frescos. Faltou suco natural, opções de pães, salchichas e ou outros acompanhamentos. Quanto a limpeza no quarto achei fraco mais as áreas comuns estavam bacana

Higiene zero . Entrei no quarto e apesar da cama estar arrumada as toalhas do antigo hóspede estavam penduradas e o banheiro cheio de cabelos . No dia seguinte o banheiro foi limpo porém os cabelos atrás da porta não foram varridos . Paredes com bolor e baratas andando pelo quarto durante a noite . Os atendentes são excelentes e prestativos , equipe muito atenciosa , o lugar seria incrível se tivesse mais cuidado com a limpeza dos quartos e manutenção geral do espaço .

Nas fotos parece que o local, está novo. Mas, chegando ao local, percebemos que o quarto compartilhado não tem os armários como do jeito que estão nas fotos, ele é bem menor, muitos estão quebrados. Mas, num todo o hostel super me atendeu, o atendimento é maravilhoso, o chuveiro bem quentinho, cerca de uns 10 minutos da praia, com mercado ótimo de uma rede grande, bem localizado. Eu voltaria com certeza, mas talvez não ficaria em quarto compartilhado, pois não achei o quarto convidativo.

Preço muito alto para a qualidade do local. (Obs, foi no periodo do rock in rio) Fiquei usando a mesma toalha de banho durante 5 dias, apoio para a toalha de rosto que cai e fica com um buraco na parede que dá pra ver o lado de fora. Varal caindo e armários com mofo. Sem contar uma barata morta que encontrei no chão, ao lado do sofá do hall. Não achei PÉSSIMO mas dadas as condições, não valeu o preço que paguei.

Localização muito boa, café da manhã satisfatório pelo valor pago, atendimento dos funcionários nada a reclamar. Porém, a higiene do local é péssima. (Pelo menos no dia que eu fiquei) Azulejos com aspecto de sujo, cortina da cama com princípio de mofo, água do boxe empossando. A roupa de cama que utilizei não tinha sujeira visível, mas se negligenciam a limpeza do local dessa forma, imagino que sequer deve ser trocada a roupa de cama.
