Ótima localização, quarto limpo, ar e chuveiro funcionando, precisa de uma pintura. Atendentes super educados e prestativos
Adorei minha estadia no Aurora Hostel, a galera é receptiva e a infraestrutura é boa! O quarto compartilhado misto com vista pro jardim é ótimo pois tem gaveta pra guardar as coisas com cadeado e cortinas na cama. Também gostei desse quarto pois as camas são beliche e não triliche. A internet também é boa pra quem pretende trabalhar durante a estadia. O único problema é que aqui no hoteis.com diz que tem café da manhã incluso mas eles cobram um valor aparte pelo café.
La chambre était propre mais la cuisine je n'ai jamais vu ça auparavant, poubelle débordante de déchets, micro ondes sentant le cadavre, impossible de faire bouillir l'eau de mon café, une honte car cette maison fait partie du patrimoine de Rio.
Voiture abandonnée dans la rue, drogués faisant leur neccessidades dans la rue,
Je ne comprends pas que l'on est pas fermée cet établissement.
Nunca voltarei ahi.
