Florian's Hostel

I had an amazing time at Florian’s hostel! The staff were very kind and friendly, the vibe was very social, so I was able to meet people to do activities with. Breakfast was decent, can’t complain about included food! The hangout spaces were good for meeting people, especially if you speak Portuguese and English. I appreciated the curtains on the beds, which gave privacy in a room of 8 other people. The bathrooms weren’t always the cleanest, but for a solo traveler on a budget, who cares!

I stayed there for 3 weeks total. Amazing location, staff were great and the free breakfast was so good! It’s a new hostel, so naturally there are some teething issues/ room for improvement. They need more bathrooms and showers, the plumbing by always seemed to be an issue (sometimes not resolved in a timely manner), and we had bed bugs on the last night of our stay. The manager fully refunded our stay after the bed bugs were found, but it is an issue nonetheless.

The property is located in a really nice area with loads of bars, restaurants & pretty close to most places. Nice place to chill and relax and still have a vibrant social aspect in a more laid back atmosphere. Staff are also super nice & friendly and the breakfast is amazing.
