Cinderella nightmare!

Poor hostel! The room wasn't the one in the picture! The bathroom is shared and only one toilet! The shared shower doesn't have a lock! The reception is closed and they demanded I return before midnight! Cinderella style. Turned out they had a key but gave it to more important guests.

Não gostei do fato de a recepção nao ser 24 h, e se passar das 24h vc teria que dar um calção pela chave que depois vc receberia ao entregar a chave. Não gostei da pousada por causa dos hospedes que faziam muito barulho, a rua é movimentada, e na noite que dormi la, um hospede dormiu fora do seu quarto no chão rocando alto, que parecia uma caixa de som. O chão por ser de madeira, faz muito barulho. Ponto positivo, o pessoal é muito acolhedor, fui muito bem recepcionado.

Ótima localização

Ficamos em um quarto de casal com banheiro privativo. Quem está procurando algo moderno e extremamente limpo não é o local. Porém para quem não se importa muito com isso o hostel é excelente. Padrão dos hostels que eu já fui. A localização dele é excelente, perto da linha vermelha do metro que te leva para todos os pontos turísticos de forma fácil e alguns dá pra ir a pé. O atendimento do pessoal do hostel também foi maravilhoso, a dona é super querida e nos tratou muito bem. A única coisa é que eles não são flexíveis com horário de funcionamento, chegamos de madrugada e já tínhamos pago aquela diária, mas tivemos que esperar até as 8h para conseguir entrar, então se você chegará fora do horário de atendimento deles é bom levar isso em consideração. Do lado do hostel tem alguns restaurantes, mercadinhos e fica numa transversal da avenida providencia que tem tudo o que tu vai precisar. é bastante conveniente. Sobre a limpeza, é aquele padrão, nem muito limpo nem muito sujo. Mas não foi algo que me incomodou, só alertando os mais exigentes. A e sobre a segurança do local, achei super tranquilo, não me senti insegura em nenhum momento, porém eu e meu marido fazíamos nossos passeios mais durante o dia. Do geral nossa estadia foi ótima, a cama era confortável, e a localização melhor ainda. Voltaria.

Sucio

Encontramos manchas en las sabanas y cojines, ducha sucia y un sostén (que no era mío) bajo la cama. Recepción bastante bien solo que había que pedir una llave para salir en la noche y había que pedirla día a día (la última noche no pudimos salir ya que a las 9,40 queríamos pedir la llave y la recepcionista no estaba. Una de ellas me dijo que si podía dejar mi equipaje en custodia hasta las 8-9 aprox pero la de la mañana tuvo una actitud medio pesada y me dijo “sólo puedo tener tus cosas hasta las 4”. (Adjunto fotos de manchas y del sostén misterioso)
