Hospedagem simples por um preço módico!

Num primeiro momento fiquei meio perdido tentando localizar o hostel, mas depois deu tudo certo. Fui muito bem atendido pelo Yuri no check in e encontrei o quarto limpo e com uma cama confortável. Os outros ambientes são limpos e o café da manhã é simples, mas condiz com o valor da hospedagem. De um modo geral eu adorei a minha hospedagem no Hostel Mambembe!

Friendly Hostel with cool people

Welcoming place with young people and nice pricy drinks. Many things didn´t really work and stairs nothing for older people but everyone very helpful. We stayed over the olympics so the room was quite expensive for it´s standard
