It seems management thinks "hostel" is an excuse for no atmosphere/extra charges. Sheets supposedly come with the price of the room, but really it's just the bottom sheet; the top sheet and blanket are each charged extra. Included breakfast is two pieces of sliced white bread, stale cake, & an apple. Most Brazilian hostels give at least some cheese & decent bread/fruit.Staff untrained in cancellation/refund policy, which is also made up on the spot. Exorbitant price for facilities, service, loc.

Dear Shannon. After checking in, it's part of our Cancellation Policy not to refund the nights you've already payed unless you let us know 24 hours in advance. Our breakfast, as mentioned before, is a courtesy and it's not included in our charges. About the exorbitant prices, please let us know about the charges and I will check that for you, because the most expensive service is the laundry ($1.00 per shirt). We apologize for the inconvenience. Best regards, Melissa.

I was really disappointed with this hostel. We selpt in a not-yet-finished building with a lot of trash outside. You couldnt close the window, so everybody could easily enter our room. We had a private double room with a private bathroom inside, but the bathroom had no ceiling, so could hear everything :) The badest thing about the hostel was the breakfast, I was really angry about this. You get two pices, with a bit of butter! A joke and really brazen. The location was also not that good!

Dear guest. Our breakfast is a courtesy. We offer 2 slices of bread, butter, one fruit, one piece of cake, juice, coffee and milk. It's a hostel at the beach and part of our decoration is rustic but sorry about the inconvenience of hearing everything and thank you for sharing your experience. Best regards.

Internet prices on Hostelworld are a rip-off. You get about 30% lower prices when reserving at the hotel directly. The staff is very unhelpful. It takes about one hour from arriving at the hotel until beeing able to enter your room. Lots of bureaucracy.

Dear guest. We apologize about that situation. Yet we thought the problem was solved after the money return. Thank you for sharing the experience and we hope to see you again soon.
