Came here to do a jungle trip and then came back to this hostel. All the travelers weve met say its the best hostel in manaus, and I think it is. It has a pool, 8pm complientary caipirinhas every day, a small pool for those hot Manaus days, plus you get a ten percent discount when you book a jungle tour from them. The staff is amazing and really helpful. If you are in manaus its the way to go!

Ok hostel but no real kitchen also dorm downstairs is not good quite claustrophobic. Staff were helpful and we used them to buy tickets for local boat to Tabinga. They assures us our cabin had an ensuite which was not the case so we were not impressed so suggest buy boat tickets yourself.

the staff is incredibly helpful for navitgting the city and the plethora of different jungle tours that are offered. additionally they are all proficient to fluent in english, which was super useful for someone with poor portuguese. finally, the staff are some authentically nice and interesting people, who know how to navigate the city´s night life and know how to party. a thoroughly good experience, hands down the best hostel in manaus.

PRO: very well located close to theatre and main touristic agencies. Everything is new. CONS: THERE IS NO BREAKFAST!! they give you a piece of paper you can use on the next backery: a juice and a piece of brad. Rooms are a bit rude: the lower floor room is terrible, the 1st floor a bit better. There is a tiny pool, just to wash your foot or plunge a few minutes at the end of a day. spaces (roooms, bathrooms, kitchen, common area) are generally very small

The hostel is located very well. Before we came we heard that Manaus was an industrial city and thus had not that much character. The hostel is located in the centre, close to a square with the Teatro Amazonas - locals also hang out here, very nice and lively. The rooms are clean, spacious and provide excellent lockers which fit even a backpack. The staff is great and so helpful! Definitely recommended, if I ever come back I'll stay here again.

Best place to stay at in Manaus. It's new, clean, friendly, well located. It's stone throw away from the Amazon Theatre. 15-20 minutes walk (depends on your backpack) to the bus station and port.

Great location - 7min walk from the port, right next to teatro amazonas - free fast public wi-fi on the square. There's also wi-fi in the hostel but it's only working well in the lobby. The rooms are decent and clean and have huge chest lockers where you can keep your stuff. All hostels should have this. Free caipirinhas on arrival. The staff here is young and cool. Forza!

Great location, right next to Teatro Amazonas and the pretty Praca Sao Sebastao (where you can catch fast free public wi-fi). The place has decent rooms, is clean and new by the looks of it. Huge wooden chests that fit all the luggage and can be locked are awesome - all hostels should have this as thefts occur (by other travellers predominantly!). The staff is young and fun (and wearing jerseys, as the obvious theme is soccer). Free caiprinhas on arrival. Forza! (:
