    One of the receptionists was obviously too high. It felt a bit weird…

    It’s pretty new, a lot of space in shared rooms.

    There was a criminal on their WiFi that attempted to gain access to my computer.

    I liked the private room. This was the nicest room I have stayed in at a hostel.

    The hostel is modern and the facilities pretty comfy. The prices at the bar are quiet expensive. Well located, bus station like 10mins walk. You get a towel

    Excellent Hostel for an Overnight Stay

    There is no kitchen - Just a small shelf with the basics with which to prepare a sandwich or reheat a meal. There is however a great value pay-by-weight restaurant just 40 metres from the hostel. I had 2 excellent meals there, both well priced The only common area is actually part of a bar. This becomes basically unusable in the evening due to the loud music and bar guests

    This is a spotlessly clean hostel located near the bus terminal and close to the main pedestrian friendly tourist streets. The hostel seems to be in new condition and is spotless. The reception staff (Lucas & Emmanuelle) are very friendly and helpful The hostel accepts credit cards, which is convenient

    I recently had an amazing experience at the hostel I stayed in. The atmosphere was incredibly welcoming, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure my stay was comfortable. The common areas were clean and well-maintained, providing a great space to meet other travelers. The dorms were cozy, with comfortable beds and plenty of storage. Plus, the location was perfect, close to public transport and local attractions. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a friendly and budget-friendly place to stay!

    A Strong Warning: DO NOT STAY HERE. If you're looking for a comfortable stay in Florianopolis, this is not it. Located in an area that feels far from safe, Innbox (or, as we now call it, Sh*tbox) delivers an unforgettable experience, though for all the wrong reasons. --- The issues we encountered: 1. The Unpleasant Smell From the moment we walked in, there was an overwhelming and lingering scent of latrine detergent in the room. We eventually realised this smell was coming from the toilet. Not exactly the welcome we were hoping for. 2. Awkward Bathroom Setup Toilet paper must be pulled piece by piece from a dispenser placed just 10cm from the ground, and disposed of in the bin behind the toilet rather than flushed, requiring you to awkwardly crouch or kneel on a filthy bathroom mat that had seen better days. 3. Questionable Cleanliness Stained sheets, towels, and even some marks on the floor and walls made us wonder how often (if ever) things were properly cleaned. 4. A cleaning service that never came Adding to the surprise, rooms are not cleaned daily, something Booking.com failed to highlight. 4. Faulty Safe A safe is meant to provide security, but here it was neither functional nor attached to anything. Not exactly reassuring when staying in an area that already feels unsafe. 5. The Fridge Mystery Opening the fridge upon arrival revealed leftover food items from past guests, adding an unwanted touch of authenticity to the hostel’s shared living concept. 6. Soundproofing? Absolutely not The windows had no locks, no sound suppression, and did little to shield us from the outside world. One night, the bar downstairs threw a party and, with a speaker placed carefully right beneath our window, our room was turned into an involuntary subwoofer. Sleep was a luxury not afforded to guests here. 7. The Stairs Struggle With no lift available, carrying luggage up the stairs was a workout we didn’t sign up for. 8.

    The Few Positives 1. Friendly Staff The people working here were genuinely helpful, kind, and accommodating, which was a pleasant contrast to the overall experience. They actually spoke English, which we've found to be a rarity in Brazil. 2. Air Conditioning That Works The air conditioning actually functioned, which was a relief—although it did have an unfortunate habit of dripping in front of the main entrance, as if marking the threshold to purgatory.

    The facilities were too old. It needed more cleaning, there was no elevator. The staff didn’t speak English nor Spanish. The last day of our staying we saw a huge roach, luckily the staff was brave enough to kill it.
