I was a bit disappointed to the place. It is well located, very silent location. The staff was nothing more than gentle and helpful. They even moved me from the room without I'm asking for it, the Reception Night Guy, just notice my face. The shower was fine. There's a lot of 'bugs' but it's common in Recife. But the bedrooms I was disappointed. I saw there's few good ones, but the both I've stayed wasn't. The first was a terrible smell (at back) and the second was really small. Breakfast was Ok

Fast wi-fi, free breakfast, cool chillout places. Just a great place overall. Rooms are a bit tight but there are huge wooden chests where you can lock your stuff - so bring a lock. ok location: the beach is near, so is public transport, and a supermarket. Cool staff, helpful with suggestions, tips, portuguese, carnival and fun things to do. R even took a bunch of us out to a traditional restaurant - good vibe, great food, prices even better, cheers!

The hostel is very well located on a quiet neighborhood, a short walk to the beach (Boa Viagem), close to bus stops, there are supermarkets nearby, etc. Very nice staff, always ready to help. If the hostel is too crowded, you might take a little while to be able to use the bathroom. Other than that, it's a good place to stay and I would definitely recommend it.

Thanks to Felipe and family for an enjoyable stay and helping us with an emergency. Breaky was great, kitchen clean and usable, location is good close to Bom Preco supermarket and only 3 blocks from the beach. Felipe was very generous and helpful with all things to see and do. A bit expensive for a private room, but all things considered, more enjoyable than staying in a similarly priced hotel. Mostly Brazilian tourists when we stayed which was good for Portuguese practice. New. :)
