Great option for a couple of days in Fortaleza

Overall a great option to spend some days in Fortaleza. The quality/price ratio is excellent considering the good location, facilities and cleaning, and most of all AR. The hostal is in a very good location, close to the main points of interest (beach, cultural center, market, shops...). The area is caotic and may be scary at night, but this is Fortaleza! The staff is nice and there is always someone taking care and supervisioning the entrance. I felt welcome and safe. The shared room is very small but functional and the bed was very comfy. AR is a real benefit. The kitchen is small but well equipped. Toilets are good, water is not that cold and they were always clean.

The Hostel is not in front of the Beach and It’s very expensive for what it is. The first day when we arrived the staff and especially the manager they were very rude with us. We can’t reccomend this hostal after our Experience unfortunately!

Great budget hostel close to downtown cultural activities

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here, mostly thanks to the incredible team of people running the hostel. Jade is a talented, hard working entrepreneur, as are Lucas and his lovely sister (whose name I wrote down but since lost! Thayssa?) The laid back, welcoming staff and the equally friendly guests (all Brazilians while I was here), made the atmosphere quite pleasant. The kitchen was well equipped, everything was kept clean, and the WiFi worked consistently. The space is a bit of a squeeze on the busier nights, but it was nice to have a bed with a curtain, a locker and a consequent sense of privacy. The air conditioner running all night was quite a comfy luxury (a necessity in hot Fortaleza!) Just across the plaza from the hostel, you can visit the cool cultural center Dragao do Mar to catch an artsy film, or go to the library (also mercifully air conditioned: nice to sit and read rather than walk around in the ninety degree afternoon!) You can walk about eighteen more minutes and be at the popular Iracema beach, great for people watching. The area seems to be safe for strolling before it gets really late, I generally felt safe all over Fortaleza but always keeping an eye out. There are many shops, restaurants and other ammenities nearby, and I highly recommend a vegetarian restaurant about fifteen minutes from here called Centro Cultural Annapurna: it is honestly the best restaurant meal I`ve had in Brazil (all you can eat lunch for twenty six reais!)

good place, value for money

Good location in the city centre close to a supermarket, Iracema Beach, the Cathedral and public transport (there are frequent and quick buses that take you to Meireles and Beira Mar otherwise it is a 25/30 minute walk), in front of the hostel you can find a couple of museums, a cultural centre and a night market with food stalls. Good Wi-Fi, A/C is on only at night-time, the shared kitchen is decently equipped and the staff are very friendly and helpful.
