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.

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

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.
