LUGAR HORROROSO
O hostel é extremamente deplorável, eu saí às pressas, perdi 2 diárias sem o menor peso na consciência só por pensar em ter que ficar nesse lugar. O local em que está localizado é perigoso, o banheiro é imundo, cheio de baratas, a roupa de cama é imunda, o atendimento é horroroso, e não há custo benefício que compense uma estadia nesse lugar.

Não esperava nenhum luxo de um hostel, mas o que vi foi barbaridade, o banheiro todo mais sujo que banheiro de rodoviária, não me senti nem um pouco cômodo pra tomar um banho, a cama horrível qualquer movimento balança e rugia

Decepcionado
Fiquei no hostel. Na recepção as vezes tem atendentes mal educados e que fazem pouco caso, não são todos, mas existem. O quarto parece que não é limpo há muito tempo. Muito lixo embaixo das camas. Banheiro com portas que não tem tranca, toalhas péssimas e com mau cheiro, roupa de cama ruim e beliches com colchões tão finos que você sente o estrado.
