I felt like I was part of a family from the very moment! Márcia is incredibly reliable and responsive. Any slightlest inconvenience was swiftly resolved and I had a great stay during carnival. The location is great to stay in Recife, I felt safe and going to both Olinda or other parts of Recife was very straightforward.

Lovely colonial building with great vibes and a lot of communal space. Many travelers stay there, there’s a lot of people to share time with, and also a great living room with tables and power outlets in case you also need to get some work done. Rooms on the right are noisy at night because there’s a loud karaoke nearby. But the hostel is quiet at night. Weekend samba was a plus.

Furthermore, staff/owners engaged into providing one’s upmost enjoyment of one’s time; by awesome indications on what-to-dos based on good chats and customer understanding. The genuine can do attitude and sympathetic overall have won me over.

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.

    It was a pretty clean and organized place, with good communal space, but no atmosphere whatsoever. For me it made sense because I had an appointment around the corner, but as a backpacker, I was much happier when I moved downtown, where hostels had no pool but a lot of charm (and also were cheaper)

    The street where the apartment is located has several market and restaurant options (the Barteco is a good one). There is a square in front of the building. I didn't choose the breakfast option. This is a really good cost effective budget option.
