The location could not be better, whether it's carnaval or 'normal' times it's right in the heart of everything. The hostel.is clean, I stayed in a private room but saw the dorm, which is bright and spacious. Ricardo, the owner, is always around to make things go smooth inside and keep the wrong people outside.

Great stay. Otto is super friendly & helpful with recommendations. Everything is really clean, the beds are comfortable, WiFi strong, shower is good & a good kitchen for simple cooking (with filtered water - big plus as saves on plastic waste). Good location near restaurants, bars & the beach, but not in a noisy hub, as well as by a bus stop to the old town. Recommended

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    My husband and I stayed in the private room in the hostel for 2 days. The hostel is located in a safe area. There are many nice restaurants in the area. The air-conditioning in the private room works well.

    Very small hostel with a family-like feel! I really liked the location at the daytime - close to a lovely beach, however, once it got dark, I haven't felt safe around as a woman.
