Staff is somewhat pleasant. Some are espetacular, e.g. Aldana and Francisco. Other are average. And a couple of them have no hospitality skills, they are always prepared TO AVOID YOU, especially when a guest clearly needs help. Overall, do not expect a 'Four Season' resort. This is a hoStel, a good one, and above average. There are individual and shared rooms .

Vale a pena pela localização!

O hostel é muito bem localizado, fica em uma ótima rua cheia de bares e restaurantes. Não fica longe dos pontos de ônibus também. Todas as camas possuem tomadas, nem todas são do modelo universal. Os quartos são bem espaçosos, mas bem quentes. O café da manhã é gostoso através de um voucher em uma cafeteria que pertence ao hostel. O atendente Matheus e o outro rapaz são muito educados e atendem muitíssimo bem. A única coisa que detestei e fiquei irritado quando cheguei foi o atendimento da moça de cabelo curto que demonstra total apatia e muita má vontade no atendimento, parece que não quer estar ali.

Hostel calmo e confortável

Os atendentes foram muito gentis. Eu cheguei no dia 9 e precisava fazer o pagamento na entrada, porém solicitei que eu passasse o cartão na virada da noite (dia 10) e compreenderam perfeitamente. Ganhei um drinque muito saboroso. Minhas vizinhas/ parceiras de habitação foram muito queridas. Todos outros hóspedes muito respeitosos. Cumpriram os horários de silêncio. Banheiro limpo e ducha muito boa. Gostei muito do hostel. Se eu tiver outra oportunidade de voltar, vou ver para me hospedar novamente lá. Duas reclamações: Na minha cama, não tinha escada. Nas outras tinha. Teve um dia que faltou água, PORÉM arrumaram em poucas horas. Conclusão: gostei muito.
