I wish this hostel had more bathrooms. One thing inconvenient about the hostel is that the men's bathrooms are only downstairs, even though most of the bed spaces are on the second floor. Getting to the toilet and showers always proved a bit of a trek. The included breakfast was average--breads, granolas, coffe, yogurts, and mate, a signature of Brazil's deep South. They could use serving a bit more protein, like eggs, with the breakfast, even if this meant charging just slightly more per night

The hostel location isn't one of the best things and the men's bathroom is just on the first floor, although their friendly and helpful staff together compensates tha negative points!

Nice hostel set-up, my only concern with security would be the fact you give everyone a key to the door. This could be easily copied or if the key is lost or stolen, anyone has access to the hostel. Something to consider.

Thanks for your stayin and review. Just to clarify, we give the key to the first gate, but not to the other one that we close at late night and only our overnight staff can open to our guests. But anyway we´ll think about it.. Best regards. Thiago

I have nothing bad to say about this hostel, and I'm hard to please! There's a great atmosphere and vibe here, the staff are great, very friendly and helpful, and it's in a great location, at a walking distance from some of the main bars. Apart from that, the hostel is clean, and the breakfast is pretty damn nice!

Only stayed a night, but I remember it as a good place. Got a ride to the airport from one of the staff really early in the morning... that was great!

One of the best hostel I ever stay in hostelworld group. Nice people, good information, friendly and easy to get around with the regular price of what you paid for.

The restrooms are painfully tiny and the wifi doesnt really work very well in the rooms. Other than that...you get what you pay for. Its not the best hostel in the world but its the worst either. Don´t expect anything fancy.
