Gustavo
A estrutura em si tem tudo pra ser muito boa, uma casa bem grande que foi reformada para se tornar um Hostel, piscina sempre limpa e area externa bem organizada. Agora dentro você já percebe pela recepção que a limpeza não é o forte, o que salvou foi a prestatividade do Max (dono do local), pois embora seja um ambiente agradável, não tem espaço próprio para fumantes então eles fumam na entrada mesmo e a fumaça sobe tudo para o quarto da varanda que foi onde fiquei. Então mesmo tentando fugir do cheiro de cigarro foi praticamente impossível.
À noite quando o Max vai embora aí vira um local sem lei, teve dias que era mais de meia noite e os voluntários/funcionários gritando e com o som no maior volume possível (hospedes fazer barulho nesse horário é errado e corre o risco de ser convidado a se retirar, masss só os hospedes mesmo).
Com excessão de um voluntário brasileiro (a maioria é de fora) que conversei e foi super prestativo, os outros funcionários mesmo do Hostel cheguei a ouvir que não aguentavam mais estar fechado la dentro, sem vontade alguma de trabalhar. E olha que em 7 dias hospedado lá observei muuuita coisa.
Tem tudo pra ser um bom lugar para descansar, mas se torna péssimo, e isso que não sou fresco nem ligo pra nada, mas tinham coisas que não tinha como.
Nunca vi um hostel receber alguem por 7 dias seguidos e não trocar as roupas de cama nenhum dia, eu que tomei a ação de trocar por conta própria quando notei que não aconteceria. O básico isso ao meu ver! Nota 4

Dentro de um padrão de hostel. Mas nada especial.
Conforto e limpeza razoáveis...dentro de um padrão de hostel. Atendimento razoável.

Party hostel
Nice party hostel.
Perfect for weekends or when you want to meet people.
The owner & the staff are very cool.
It gets a bit too noisy when you want to rest like people playing ping-pong at 11PM & also when you try to work during the day with loud music in the common areas.

Não vá, é péssimo
Ruim, é tudo muito precário. Havia 2 geladeiras para os hóspedes e estavam com defeito, vazando pela cozinha e abarrotadas. Não há copos, somentes potes daqueles de azeitonas. Há poucas panelas e utensílios. As paredes entre os quartos feminino e masculino são de divisória de escritório e se ouve TUDO. Cortinas dos quartos com BOLOR. Banheiros ruins. O staff começava a gritar e fazer algazarra após as 22h pq era a hora que o dono vai embora, ridículo. Dos piroes locais em que me hospedei.

Agilidade
Foram muito ágeis, pois eu havia reservado um quarto errado e prontamente me ajudaram. Nota 10!

Bom para fazer amigos, conforto deixa a desejar
Muito bom local para fazer amigos. No entanto, o preço estava exorbitante e o quarto pouco confortável.
Claudia
Otimo atendimento
Foi ótimo para me atender, pois já estava preparada para comunicar comigo, pois sou surda.
Eduardo
Não conseguir durmi
Bom espaço e internamento porém quartos bagunçados muito barulho impossível durmo nesse local, apesar de barata as diárias, deixou a desejar nas prestações de serviços, tudo é cobrado na diria um simples cadeado pequeno pra trancar o armário e cobrado 2.00 por diária, e outros itens básicos não gostei não indico pra quem procura um conforto

Muito bom!
Ótimo hostel. Localização excelente, perto de bares, restaurantes e supermercados. O Staff foi incrível e gostaria de manter contato com todos! Ficaria de novo por lá! Somente não senti muita segurança quanto ao quarto não ter chaves mas não tive nenhum problema em relação a isso!
MARCIO
turma muito educada. pessoal simpático. alguns problemas com infraestrutura. o café da manhã poderia oferecer uma alimentação mais alternativa e sucos naturais ao invés de artificiais. mas de todo modo uma ótima localização e atendimento.
Ana María
Muy acogedor!!
Tomás el autobus desde la estación de Autobuses local en el centro de la ciudad (Plataforma A bus Núm° 330 ó 320) llegás a la terminal de la Lagoa da Conceicao de ahí tomás el Bus N°363 para Playa Joaquina y te deja justo en la puerta del Hostal!! Muy cerca de Supermercados y paradas de coles para visitar el resto de las playas. Buena ubicación!! :)
