El Misti Hostel Ilha Grande Reviews

This hostel was okay, location doesn't really matter on Ilha Grande as everything is close. We were in a 9 bed triple bunk room by ourselves, which is good because the room was small, also no wifi in it. The bathroom was pretty dirty, & the kitchen wasn't really fit for making your own meals. I guess that's because most people eat out at all the restaurants on the island. It served it's purpose as we spent all of our time exploring but if our room had been full it would've been uncomfortable.

Over cramped rooms but a very nice chill area and well organised dinners.

Great palce to chill/ hangout and good music, if only they had free drinking water available

Good location with a nice atmosphere although not as friendly as other hostels we have been to. Bathroom was quite dirty but other than that was ok.

The hostel was your standard hostel. The in room lockers were good, the ventilation good. The breakfast was also really good, with toast, cereal, dulce de leche, coffee and fruit. The staff were not all that friendly, but the barman was. I would return, though the toilets/bathroom were not cleaned as often as I would like. Overall, the hostel had a good vibe and I met some nice people.

I walked in the door, waited 20mins to check in as the guy on reception was playing on the computer. When I finally spoke to him I found him so rude and unhelpful that i went elsewhere. I would not recommend this hostel. Shame about the staff as the location is great.

The hostel vibe itself was very cool and close to the main beach area. Breakfasts were very good. Drinks very cheap. The rooms however were tiny with 9 people staying in the tiniest room on triple bunks that leave hardly space for u to even turn in bed. The bathrooms weren't very clean either. Wouldn't stay here again because of the rooms. We moved to another hostel after one night.

El Misti was such a disappointment - crammed into a tight room with no working air-conditioning with 9 girls in total. It´s definitely your typical party hostel, if you are into the staff checking out every girl who walks by and sprawled out on the tables by the end of the night. A storm had also broken the wi-fi and 1 staff refused to get off his facebook, telling us he wasn´t Brazilian, so he didn´t know anything about the time change for daylight savings. Wouldn´t recommend this hostel.

El Misti has a nice atmosphere. It's got a good location near to the port. Most rooms look ok,but I stayed in 9 bed dorm which had little room for luggage and got very dirty very quickly.

The dining areas a nice place to hang out on the balcony, but our dorm toilet became public toilet when the bar was full and always filthy even though the cleaner cleaned it every day. Some of the staff were pleasant, mainly the girls and one or two of the men, but the rest were rude and arrogant especially the "owner" who was drunk most of the time and seemed to like picking fights with guests.

The staff were very rude. The power was out for a whole day. Bathroom was disgustingly dirty.

Well located and they have a great breakfast!

None of the toilets would flush! We had to ask the staff to flush it numerous times and they just ignored us. Our room never got cleaned untill we had to consistently ask them too. Also the kitchen was disappointing as there was no applicances to cook with. Other then that the hostel had a great atmosphere and close to everything!

Fridge in a room is a big plus!

Breakfast was the best I had during my trip. SOme of the staff are great, and others don't seem to be interested in helping you at all. We had an issue with another guest in our room, which they very promptly sorted out for us which we were grateful for. The three levelled bunks are a terrible idea, while I was there 2 people fell from the top bunk. My room had air con and was very comfortable, but not all rooms do.

The dorm rooms are really small and packed in. There isnt enough room to leave your bags on the floor and so you're constantly tripping over other peoples bags. The rooms are also quite dirty. The reception area is quite nice and chilled out but the rooms are a real disappointment!

This hostel has a great atmosphere, very cool chill-out area. Party hostel. Staff are friendly but don't really speak english. The beds are 3-bed-bunk and very uncomfortable. Poor air condition and super small lockers. Good breakfast and location (any location is great it's such a small town).

Really liked this place. Super chilled out nice common room. Very good helpful staff.

bed bugs.

Such a hard hostel to write about in 500 characters. To sum it up, the staff were amazing, the hostel was poor. Location insane, facilities (ie kitchen) filthy. Good bar area. I would say if you want to make the most of Ilha Grande and want to relax properly, do NOT stay here. It hurts me to say that though cause the staff were awesome. At some points though, the hostel was nothing short of chaotic... some points being 1am when trying to sleep. Nightmare
