Set in the Fortaleza City Centre district in Fortaleza, 900 metres from Praia de Iracema beach, Hostel Dragão do Mar Fortaleza features a barbecue and sun terrace.

Hostel Dragão do Mar Fortaleza features free WiFi throughout the property.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here, mostly thanks to the incredible team of people running the hostel. Jade is a talented, hard working entrepreneur, as are Lucas and his lovely sister (whose name I wrote down but since lost! Thayssa?) The laid back, welcoming staff and the equally friendly guests (all Brazilians while I was here), made the atmosphere quite pleasant. The kitchen was well equipped, everything was kept clean, and the WiFi worked consistently. The space is a bit of a squeeze on the busier nights, but it was nice to have a bed with a curtain, a locker and a consequent sense of privacy. The air conditioner running all night was quite a comfy luxury (a necessity in hot Fortaleza!) Just across the plaza from the hostel, you can visit the cool cultural center Dragao do Mar to catch an artsy film, or go to the library (also mercifully air conditioned: nice to sit and read rather than walk around in the ninety degree afternoon!) You can walk about eighteen more minutes and be at the popular Iracema beach, great for people watching. The area seems to be safe for strolling before it gets really late, I generally felt safe all over Fortaleza but always keeping an eye out. There are many shops, restaurants and other ammenities nearby, and I highly recommend a vegetarian restaurant about fifteen minutes from here called Centro Cultural Annapurna: it is honestly the best restaurant meal I`ve had in Brazil (all you can eat lunch for twenty six reais!)

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    Super helpful staff who made recommendations on where we should go. They helped us to find a great place to dance Forró, and a Churascaria to eat beforehand, in safe areas. The added bonus is they had vouchers for a free caipirinha with their recommendations too 🙌 the room was really great, super comfortable beds and very spacious. All the facilities were top notch. The breakfast was also extensive. Fantastic, safe location.

    The location is great, close to the beach with lots of leisure options. The building amenities are great and the safety measures handy. The balcony and its hammock were amazing. The breakfast was good, with enough options, plus fresh and excellent tapioca and cuscuz (regional dishes) cooked by request. For a solo traveler, if you increase your budget a bit more you can find a nice hotel in the same area to stay.

    If you're coming from Europe, you can trust this hostel, which is well run by an Italian-Brazilian couple. Breakfast is generous with good options, and there are eggs made to order. I recommend the natural juices. The staff will help you with care and attention.

    If you come from Europe you can trust in this hostel standard. Clean, practical, with the right ratio between beds and size room. This is my type of bunkerbed like cabin style with privacy. Good toilets with fair equipment.

    one of the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. Very beautiful and clean, great value. It was quiet when I was there but I just needed to refresh and rest. Great as a stopover towards Jeri, they offer transportation for a good price.

    Nice hostel, close to the beach. -I was traveling alone and felt safe in the area -I changed the room to the female dorm which had an AC and I was very happy with it. -Curtains on the bed provide some privacy -Bathroom and toilets are clean -Big lockers in the room so I could store my luggage there. But there are additional lockers close to the reception in case you need more space
