The location was good , and conditions acceptable if you had no money to look for a better place . I had 5 day reservation pay for it, and left the next day . Perfect for backpackers or anyone that don’t care about looks .

Fui muito bem recebido, me trataram com atenção, fiquei num quarto legal apesar de quente. O acesso conta com MUITA escada, não é legal pra quem tenha alguma deficiência motora. É recomendável Sim, volto mais vezes.

Me acomodei no hostel no mes de abril de 2018 e debitaram um valor do meu cartão e ate hoje nao estornaram, valor este que foi debitado antes de minha chegada e disseram se tratar de um adiantamento que em momento algum foi abatido de valor total que paguei pela estadia. O hostel nao responde e-mail e nem contato que fiz pelo expedia. No mais, nao recomendo o hostel pois as instalações nao sao confortaveis, os quartos sao apertados e a localização não facilita uma saída noturna sem auxilio de apps de mobilidade. Gostaria de elogiar os funcionários que foram receptivos e simpáticos. Aguardo posicionamento referente a minha devolução de valores.

Nicely located place, decent breakfast, some interesting travellers, and lots of space to hang out or sit in silence. The neighbourhood is apparently not the safest but I didn't have problems.
