The night I stay here was very nice, the staff was very friendly. The people there had a very nice mood. Its a little distant from beach but it has a good supermarket near to buy cheaper goods. Y recommend it very much!

I qualified the hostel as poor because they had a problem in a room and booked me in a new hostel called "Piratas da praia". Is not Cosmopolitan hostel Fault, but I did no like anything in that new hostel.

Mr. Felipe, establishment is first class. You can't go wrong. The ladies at the reception desk are the kindest people in the world. The very nice lady that makes the breakfast is the best. She keeps the hostel, super clean. I definitely recommend this hostel.

I had an amazing experience staying at "Cosmo", as people like to call it. I met people from all over the country and from other countries too. The place is really cozy and nice. I really recommend it.

Excellent hostel!

Because of the reviews of the hostel, I decided to book here, but once we were there, the cleanliness was awful. Many bugs, and I'm not talking about "mosquitos" that aren't rare in countries like Brasil, but "bed bugs" (Cimex lectularius) One of my friends got a serious allergy because was bitten by this bugs during the night. Horrible experience. For me, Cleanliness is fundamental, more than anything to avoid potential sickness specially during vacation's trip. The idea is to have a nice time.

Good hostel, nothing fancy, good breakfast, nice staff and friendly guests, bring bug spray and be aware air conditioning is only on from 9pm-9am!

Was only here for a stop over one night, but the hostel was very nice. Clean, kitchen for use, good breakfast, centrally located, and a desktop or wi-fi. I would recommend this hostel.

I really enjoyed my stay at cosmopolitan! The staff was friendly and helpful and the hostel is colorful and comfortable. For all those animal lovers out there, youll be happy to hear that there were 3 rabbits hopping around in the garden. The breakfast was very good - fresh fruit, cake, bread, ham and cheese, coffee, juice...

Cosmopolitan Hostel was a home away from home. The staff is the friendliest on the planet and also very knowledgeable for sights, buses, recommendations for travel, etc. I became friends with all of them and although I stayed 3 days longer than planned, I was sad to leave. Good (free) breakfast and good location. Would definitely go back!
