Fit Hostel - Piratas da Praia is 3-minute walking from Boa Viagem beach in Recife. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen, free WiFi throughout and concierge service for guests.

1. Otto, the host, is amazing, speaks good english and is always there to help 2. Very clean and tidy, big room, and has hangers outside the window to dry your clothes 3. Strong wifi 4. They have a water filter so you don't have to make a lot of plastic waste buying single use bottles. And the filter also gives out cold water 5. Good location near restaurants, bars & the beach, but not in a noisy hub, as well as by a bus stop 6. Helpful for leaving later in the night after checkout - allowed to keep my bag there and take a shower later.

Just a 3-minute walk from Praia de Boa Viagem Beach, the Cosmopolitan Hostel offers free Wi-Fi in most rooms. The Recife historical center is just a 15-minute drive away.

The staff was amazing and the people awesome. The facilities were okay and could be improved. The location is good as it's close to the beach but far away from any real tourist activity/old town.

    My husband and I stayed in the private room in the hostel for 2 days. The hostel is located in a safe area. There are many nice restaurants in the area. The air-conditioning in the private room works well.

    It was a pretty clean and organized place, with good communal space, but no atmosphere whatsoever. For me it made sense because I had an appointment around the corner, but as a backpacker, I was much happier when I moved downtown, where hostels had no pool but a lot of charm (and also were cheaper)

    Very small hostel with a family-like feel! I really liked the location at the daytime - close to a lovely beach, however, once it got dark, I haven't felt safe around as a woman.
