Maresia Hostel Paraty BR

Would not recommend based on the overall review of this place. The location is great but the rest is quite bad. Personnel is rather young and not fluent in any other language than Argentinian Spanish or Portuguese. The beds are very narrow and wombly. In the communal space the personel is hanging out while there is not much space for the guests to stay. One of the employees was staying in our room in a lower bunk bed which did not facilitate meeting people more. It is not that clean.

Nice location, staffs are mostly volunteers, they are very friendly and helpful. Some of them don’t speak English but trying to learn. Room is very hot no AC , no breakfast.

Well equipped kitchen but it is very small The door to the hostel is always left open and the windows on the ground floor do not lock. There seems to be more staff than guests and they often spend a lot of time taking up the communal area, which is very small. It’s difficult to know which staff are actually working. There is also an awkward atmosphere as if you are invading the home of the staff. It makes the communal areas feel uncomfortable. The room was fine
