Exactly what I expected and good value. It really was a nice property but hostel stays always have challenges (beyond control of the property). Each bed had an outlet which was very nice.

I got there early and they let me drop my bags inside while cleaners were finishing up. Good area, lots of restaurants and easy to meet people within the hostel! The beach is great but as soon as you begin to walk back to the city it is very smoggy from lots of vehicles. Once you are on Caruma’s street it is fresh and quiet. Nice and cozy living area! Bunk beds aren’t equipped with the best mattresses but doable for two to five days. Definitely felt safe, quiet and relaxing.

Disaster!

Disaster overall. Not advised about the shared bathroom, and the bathrooms were stinking and not cleaned even once during the 4 days we stayed! No windows in the bedroom, only a roof opening which was leaking rain just next to the bed. Horrible for paying almost €100/night! Not speaking about the minimum of intimity due to the hardboard walls.

空港からバス1本で来れる上にメトロも歩いて行けるので、交通の便はかなりいい部類です。 近くにはスーパーもあり、マクドナルドから地元のレストランもあり、調理設備や冷蔵庫もあるので外食自炊ともに食事にも困りません。 歩いて行ける範囲に美しいビーチもあるので短期、長期ともに退屈しないです。 Wi-Fi、シャワー、ベッドにコンセント、個人ロッカーとコンドミニアムとして見れば欲しい設備もあります。 が、シャワーに関しては値段相応クオリティなので、バックパッカー慣れしている人なら問題ありませんが、日本のホテル感覚で行くのは厳禁です。あと、自分が使ったベッドのコンセントが壊れていて通電していませんでした。 その点は共用ゾーンのを使ってしのぎましたが、長期滞在だったらハズレを引いた感が強くなったと思います。 総じて立地はこれ以上なく良く、スタッフの対応も良かったので、値段も安いこともあいまってかなり良いです。

Agradável, com alguns pontos de melhoria

Sítio agradável. Para melhorar a experiência sugiro: - colocar blackouts/persianas nas janelas para tapar completamente a luz - a porta do quarto não fechava bem.
