“such a friendly and clean place”
fantastic friendly staff. I like it so much i've booked another week here (but in a single room rather than a dorm). They make a cake every day for residents! There's a lovely feeling of community here! it's really clean and the cleaner is now my friend

“My stay in Recife”
Hostel Cosmopolitan is the hostel perfect for Solo Travellers like me. It's very social. The employees, volunteers and also the owner are super nice and welcoming and helped me a lot. There were also events for example once we did a barbecue and another day we went to a Karaoke Bar together. I really felt at home and didn't even want to leave (I enlarged my stay everyday). My favourite spot was the Pool where I went every evening but the hammock is also great to relax. The location is perfect! The supermarket and the beach are only 5-10 mins from the hostel and the center is easily accessible by Uber (20 mins) or bus (30 mins)

Very friendly staff, volunteers and other guests so there was a good social vibe. I enjoyed the simple breakfast and coffee, and sometimes free cake. The bed was comfortable enough. Filtered water was good although the stream was weak so it took a while to fill up water bottles! Good location within walking distance of the beach and close to a main road with buses to the airport or the old town of Recife.

“Dirty pool and smell of fish”
Couldn't use the pool as it was always dirty with leaves and many things. The backyard was very dirty. Someone gutted and cooked fish every day so it smelled horrible in the entire hostel.
