Eu não consigo mensurar no quão perfeito foi estar nesse hostel, eu só tenho a agradecer a Jade, o Lucas e ao Jair que fizeram das minhas ferias as melhores. Estou muito feliz e voltarei com total certeza. O local é muito limpo, organizado, pessoal muito simpático, gentil e educado. Só tenho elogios para este hostel, nenhuma crítica.

Aconchegante

Boa equipe de profissionais e boa localização. Luciana e seu esposo são bons anfitriões com excelentes dicas de como curtir a capital e de passeios durante a estadia. Ainda mais, o Carioca, funcionário carismático, prestativo, muito gente boa sempre a disposição, qual preza pela segurança e controle do hostel. O hostel é simples e oferece boa comodidade com modesto café da manhã todos os dias bem como uma cozinha de uso comum. É uma boa escolha quando o custo-benefício é relevante.

HOSTEL BOM

Foi a minha primeira experiência em um Hostel. Fui um pouco preocupado com a questão de segurança e com a questão da privacidade, no entanto, deparei com um hostel bem tranquilo e acolhedor. Quartos limpos, banheiros limpos e os donos do hostel o tempo todo buscando atender às necessidades dos hóspedes. Estão de parabéns!!!
