Maresia Hostel Paraty BR

It is really well located, has nice common areas/kitchen and is good value for money. Unfortunately, it didn’t feel secure: the ground floor window to the room didn’t lock and the front door was always left open. We understand that Paraty is relatively safe but why have a good security system in place if you aren’t going to use it? The majority of people staying there seemed to be volunteers which created a weird vibe where we felt like we were intruding and never knew who was on shift to ask.
