awesome breakfast every morning with fruits cheese cereals eggs... the rooms with aircon are ok, the staff was very friendly, you just cant drink ur own alcohol in the hostel, the whole area is a little bit to tiny for all the guys staying there, so no relaxing area with hammocks, but you normaly go out at this island for drinking and partying at the beach, so all in all a good hostel!

This hostel is average, its clean and the employers are friendly. The unique problem is the shower, sometimes lacked water thus making it impossible to take a shower. The positive point is the breakfast, Its amazing! its offer everything that you could imagine.

When you think I put a comment on the internet about the image of a company has to have attitude, but? . 15 hours was the time in our hostel, and impossible to have this statement, summarizing many of these statements and the ralativo dissatisfaction with the amount paid and use this to channel their discontent

Nice central place to stay on ilha grande, everything is a little basic, but clean. Iit lacks a bit of a atmosphere.

I wouldn't stay in this hostel again. It was dirty and the beds were really uncomfortable. The atmosphere was ok, but could be better. There are way better hostels on Ilha Grande.

It was very dirty, staff is rude. Atmosphere is great because all young people staying there were great, but nothing to do with the hostel itself.

sorry if it was not to his liking, our guests often arrive with great expectations, and choose to pay for low cost accommodation, breakfasts and face they stayed in superior accommodation, and very difficult, administer this type of pespectiva, and bad comments here exposed in reports of annoyance of guests where not comment on his frustration in having had a hosting hostel where rules are imposed to better coexistence among the guests, can not have friends in strange rooms, try to take the maximum of silent night, have use of the kitchen restite to 23 hours, not allowing beverages, foods breakfast, drug use, and we feel very sad when we have to impose these rules, knowing that by doing so your comment frustration

Good location on a great island. Our original dorm on the ground floor didn't not have lockers, however when the roof leaked during the torrential rain we were upgraded to the private room on the top floor. Breakfast was good, plenty of different types of cakes and gateaux (!). Good kitchen too for self caterers.

It has the best breakfast I´ve ever had in a Hostel, BY FAR! The mattress was too thin, but the atmosphere was soooooo good that this Hostel is definitely worth it!

This hostel is in a really great location and is pretty clean. The common area isn't very great, there isn't a lot of space and it’s kind of uncomfortable (just stools to sit on). The main issue is that the staff are very unfriendly ordering a drink seemed like a huge inconvenience, no one smiled, etc. .Not enough security lockers and the people coming in and out of the hostel weren't monitored very well.

Do you want to post the photos that we have to stay at our hostel, I do not think so, because what you did was be a police case, you are being irresponsible with their comments, not wanting to pay to bring a stranger to your bed night, putting all our safety and that of nine other people at risk, his dorm mate, as our staff that served you were friendly with you for not wanting to pay the bar in the hostel, sorry to call your attention to no more with this behavior
