Lovely hostel with nice atmosphere and very friendly staff. Good location for Praia do Amor and close to minimarkets and bus stops. Only negative point is that the rooms are not as described, it is more a loft with some panels to split it up. So a 7 person dorm turns into a see through 10 person dorm with no door so complete lack of privacy. Even though this did turn me off the first day, I had a great time once I got used to it and made some friends with the other guests.

We only Stayed there for One Night at the Hostel.so it s Hard to Tell a Lot about it, as we only came there to sleep. But the staff was really nice at Check in and Out. The twin room was very nice too. And the next Day ist was no Problem at all leaving our stuff there after Check Out and have a shower later on-all Easy ging and laid back. I would definetaly stay there Again

Good Location near the Beach, but very loud because of the street and loud music. The dorm rooms have no wall, so privacy is zero. For New Years 20012/1013 I paid lots of money (100 Real/ Night) and they run out of water. You can imagine what happens when 6 people use the toilet without flushing. No shower after beach is horrible. Although the staff tried to fix the problem, many guest left earlier. The manager refused to pay their money back. This ist not acceptable and disappointing!

Dear Anika, It was a petty that you suddenly left that day. In the middle of the new year´s season, in a touristic place as Pipa, the infrastructure of the city can fail, and there we were in Zicatela, putting the best of us to solve the problem as soon as possible; in a such way that we asked to our guests to be patience and wait only for a few hours until we resolve this, while we provided mineral water gallons to everybody. Of all our guests, you were the only one that didn´t wait and went away, a fact that we´re really sorry for, so that same day, only some hours later the water problem was 100% solved and nobody suffer any traumas, being able to enjoy a fantastic staying in Zicatela Hostel and appreciating Pipa and it´s correspondent festive clime. During this time period, the entire city of Pipa went out of water, being the only establishments with no such problem, the once that have their own well water, which are minority and, no doubt, the most expensive ones. We hope that you know that our doors are open, same as all of our energies are always determined to offer the best service, even in a situation of emergency like the one that happened during your staying, that thanks to our hard work, once more, we were able to resolve successfully. We would have liked you to stay to celebrate that fact with us! Best regards, and see you the next time you visit Pipa. Zicatela Hostel team. Praia da Pipa – Tibau do Sul – RN
