Não voltei mais!

Quarto quente, sem ar condicionado. Um calor insuportável. Um ventilador que mal alivia o calor. Tomar o café da manhã é desanimador : local apertado, precisa ficar esperando a reposição da comida por q se põe em oiuca quantidade. Lugar quente e desconfortável.

Razoável.

Hostel bem simples e ideial para quem não vai de carro, pois não possie estacionamento. O café da manhã é bem simples. O Hostel tem cores escuras nos corredores e quarto (pelo menos o que nós ficamos) o que atrai mosquitos. Havia moriçocas no quarto e a janela não tem tela de proteção. Uma vez que o endereço de lá é central acredito que telas nas janelas ajudaria bastante. Nem sempre o ventilador dá conta sozinho. Agora que sei disso, voltaria lá mas levando repelente.

Ruim

Minhas experiências com hotéis sempre foram agradáveis, porém dessa vez foi terrível. Quarto desconfortável, sem ar condicionado, sem banheiro, e o preço altíssimo e sem nenhum conforto. Camas ruins, atendimento ruim, só o café da manhã que foi agradável.

Bom

Só achei que as janelas deveriam conter película escura para dar mais privacidade, pq das janelas dos prédios ao lado tem uma visão muito ampla de dentro do quarto e do banheiro. O café da manhã foi bom com frutas, suco e outros. Atendimento bom. Faltou um aviso para que os hóspedes saíssem do banheiro de roupas após o banho e não só de toalhas, por respeito, pous haviam mulherer hospedadas também.

Recomendo para 1 dia ou 2 no máximo

O Hostel, é ótimo para quem procura algo barato para poucos dias, como foi meu caso. A única coisa que não gostei, foi o fato do Hostel não ter ao menos um bebedouro para beber água. No mais, sem reclamações para o preço ofertado.
