    The bed sheets could be improved and maybe the bed drawer were really noisy.

    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.

    The only thing I think was bad is the WiFi, not good, unstable and many times didn't work.

    The location is great, close to the city centre, beaches and markets. The room has air-conditioning this I didn't expect but was really good, the bed is really comfy and the kitchen well prepared as well as the fridge.

    The kitchen isn't in good condition, a small renovation would go a long way. Also, mosquito lamps would make it easier stay outside during the evenings.

    The staff was really great. The best thing was the large communal space were u can eat and sit with others, and the backyard which felt so nice to be in.

    The floor did not feel very clean. The toilet was not working properly when we arrived and throughout our stay. We let the receptionist know, so I hope it will be fixed for the next guests.

    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.

    Staff weren't welcoming on greetings. Our toilet in our room was broken when we arrived and when they fixed it, they left our bathroom floor very wet and the bathmat dripping wet with toilet water. The air-conditioner leaked, which we didn't realise the first time we used it, and all of our bags got drenched from the water on the floor.

    Good communal spaces, coffee and biscuits in the morning, good sized room and comfy bed. Location is ok if you are happy to use public transport or uber to get to the main sights

    Plenty of beds per area in 2 of the 3 shared rooms. Clogged toilets, clogged sinks and beds with drawers that made a huge noise when opened. They could remove some beds and charge higher daily rates, as they are in a very popular neighborhood in the city, and thus offer a little more comfort to guests. In the future, if it undergoes renovation, the place will look great, but for now, I wouldn't go back.

    The owner and one of the employees I had contact with were very attentive. The place has a full kitchen with all the utensils for you to prepare your meals.

    It was okay, more of a stopping over place than somewhere I'd stay if I was in Recife for a few days. Thete are some hostels that you stay at and you're not surprised when someone switches the light on at 5am and starts packing their gear. This was one of those places.

    Breakfast isn't included but they do lay on coffee, crackers and jam in the morning. It's close to a large supermarket. Large under bed lockers.

    The mattress was to soft so if you are on the heavier side then you will feel the bedframe.

    The staff was super nice and friendly. And the hostel is beautiful! A very calm space that is both private and quiet but still is close to all you need like the supermarket, beaches, restaurants and more.

    I didn’t like the bed. It was very short and felt unstable.

    Location is good, only a 5 minute walk to the beach. Area seemed safe.

    The room was a bit small and the beds were a bit uncomfortable , it also got a bit noisy at night sometimes.

    The hostel was private and secure behind gates. We had a private room which was perfect and had a private bathroom too.

    The room for 2 people was very tiny and generally the property needs some renovations. Even though I booked a room with two beds, I received only with one.

    The swimming pool in the common area was very cosy and the personnel of the hostel very nice. The location very suitable for promenade walks.

    The staff was amazing with us, very kind. The place looks very cozy and nice, with a good infrastructure for a budget trip. The place has a good value for money.

    I could be much cleaner with very little effort. Many things need proper repair, like faucets, the lockers beneath the beds, and the fan in the living room that makes so much noise it’s impossible to sleep in the dorm just next to it. The still water of the pool is not reassuring

    Mad a friend!
