Normal, não surpreendeu.
O café da manhã deixou a desejar, em dias distintos percebi que não eram produtos frescos. Faltou suco natural, opções de pães, salchichas e ou outros acompanhamentos. Quanto a limpeza no quarto achei fraco mais as áreas comuns estavam bacana

Perfeito se tivesse manutenção e limpeza
Higiene zero . Entrei no quarto e apesar da cama estar arrumada as toalhas do antigo hóspede estavam penduradas e o banheiro cheio de cabelos . No dia seguinte o banheiro foi limpo porém os cabelos atrás da porta não foram varridos . Paredes com bolor e baratas andando pelo quarto durante a noite . Os atendentes são excelentes e prestativos , equipe muito atenciosa , o lugar seria incrível se tivesse mais cuidado com a limpeza dos quartos e manutenção geral do espaço .

Minha experiência
Nas fotos parece que o local, está novo. Mas, chegando ao local, percebemos que o quarto compartilhado não tem os armários como do jeito que estão nas fotos, ele é bem menor, muitos estão quebrados. Mas, num todo o hostel super me atendeu, o atendimento é maravilhoso, o chuveiro bem quentinho, cerca de uns 10 minutos da praia, com mercado ótimo de uma rede grande, bem localizado. Eu voltaria com certeza, mas talvez não ficaria em quarto compartilhado, pois não achei o quarto convidativo.

Falta de manutenção e limpeza
Preço muito alto para a qualidade do local. (Obs, foi no periodo do rock in rio) Fiquei usando a mesma toalha de banho durante 5 dias, apoio para a toalha de rosto que cai e fica com um buraco na parede que dá pra ver o lado de fora. Varal caindo e armários com mofo. Sem contar uma barata morta que encontrei no chão, ao lado do sofá do hall. Não achei PÉSSIMO mas dadas as condições, não valeu o preço que paguei.

Limpeza a desejar
Localização muito boa, café da manhã satisfatório pelo valor pago, atendimento dos funcionários nada a reclamar. Porém, a higiene do local é péssima. (Pelo menos no dia que eu fiquei) Azulejos com aspecto de sujo, cortina da cama com princípio de mofo, água do boxe empossando. A roupa de cama que utilizei não tinha sujeira visível, mas se negligenciam a limpeza do local dessa forma, imagino que sequer deve ser trocada a roupa de cama.

Boa experiência.
O atendimento é ótimo tanto pelo whatsapp quanto pessoalmente, precisei fazer o checkin as 23h e foi super tranquilo. A localização é ótima e é seguro. Tive a experiência de ficar em dois quartos e no primeiro foi OK mas o segundo foi beem melhor! Um ótimo custo beneficio pela localização e entrega, o café da manhã é simples mas é bem limpo e caprichoso. Vale a pena dar uma chance :)

Boa localização, mas precisa de cuidados.
Pelas fotos o hotel parecia melhor. Está precisando de cuidados. Travesseiros, ! e toalhas muito surrados. No meu quarto, a cortina estava soltando, o frigobar desligado, dando um ar de largado. O secador que solicitei na reserva não esquentava. Gostei do café da manhã, simples e gostoso. O pessoal , tanto da recepção quanto dos serviços muito simpaticos e atenciosos. Localização muito boa
