Bananas Hostel

Sadly our experience here was not what we hoped. We booked a private room, and it turns out that the cleaners go in everyday and we were never told. We were also never given a secure safe or locker. On our first day, we had almost R$500 stolen from our room. The manager gave us the money back which we appreciated, however they made it out like they were doing us a favour by giving it us back. Then we later found out that they had in fact seen who stole it on the cameras!!

Great location and a massive bar / communal area around the back for breakfast Not recommended if you want to have an early night pre 1am - the bar is accessible to the public as well and when they have DJ nights the music is very loud and right next to the dorms so there’s no way you’re sleeping till then Really good hostel overall - I wound come back :)

Overall terrible, the staff was rude and cold. The showers inside the room have a bad electricity contact such that everytime you try to shower you electrify yourself. The ac was not working, crazy amount of light in the room such that you can’t sleep after 6am and the toilets itself were completely broken. Location is good and very central though (Ah and they made me pay my deposit twice even though I showed them That I already paid on Hostelworld they just told me basically they dont care
