What I loved the most about this hostel is the big living room with huge floor-to-ceiling windows. From there you can see the ocean and watch the street life, which creates such a unique and relaxing atmosphere. I often spent time just sitting there, enjoying the view — it really made my stay special.

They turn off the AC in the morning, open the windows, and you end up waking up in 9 am because it makes noise and makes the room really hot. Also only 1 shower had warm water. But the staff were really friendly and nice.

Excellent, safe and convenient location. Staff were super helpful and attentive. Hostel guests were predominantly Brazilian which was cool. Rooms and bathrooms were cleaned well.
