El Misti Hostel Ilha Grande Reviews

Great crew!!! Awesome breakfast and drinks!! XD

extremely basic hostel, first time I flushed the toilet the entire cistern emptied on top of me! The dinners are excellent, very tasty & good value, the rooms are cramped, but for the price, it's the worst hostel I've stayed in so far. eating out on the island is very expensive so everyone wants to cook their own food, so you either eat at 6 to beat the rush or you have to wait until 10pm. music is cool, staff are helpful, lockers are tiny - only enough room for passports/money.

PRO: good vibes on the hall: good place to make new friends. Yet you can go there in the evening. CONS: This hostel has terrible 3 layers beds. Sheets do not fit on the mattress, not enough lockers for all people in the (small) room, bathroom not really cleaned. Internet is extremely slow.

We stayed in a dormitory for nine people. There were about two working lockers. The ensuite bathroom was the worst on our 2-month trip through south america. Hardly cleaned, dim light, horrible. Dogs from the street were allowed to enter the breakfast area (on first floor!). Breakfast was good.

Really liked that they had barbecues on the balcony every other night and that one could tip in and join with a free drink for free for a low price. Staff was very friendly and warm welcoming. They didn't have any lockers for the room I was in even though that's what it says on the homepage.
