Booked this property for a week for a friend. They were delayed by a few days arriving. When they arrived at the property they were told that the reservation was no longer available because they didn’t show up on the first day

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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 .

Location is excellent, nice area and walking distance to bars and restaurants. Hostel staff were terrific and any issues we raised they addressed immediately. We stayed in the Folk room and would stay there again. The breakfast was average and could be improved.

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.
