“No recomiendo”
The cleaning lady was the friendliest person at the hostel. When I arrived, I had no battery to finish the reservation, so I asked at the front desk and they told me the rate was higher than on Booking. I mentioned I’d book through the app, and at that moment they raised the price for the app. I ended up booking through the app to have a backup, but the final charge was higher than what was displayed—twice the amount in less than 10 minutes. I spoke to the owner and asked to cancel, but got no response. Because my card was linked, I decided to stay anyway, even though it turned out to be one of the most expensive places I’ve paid for over a three‑month trip in Brazil. The facilities are good, but with no staff present, everything stays closed: terrace, lounge. The kitchen has only a microwave, so cooking is out of the question. Several rooms smelled like cat urine, and the beds didn’t have much space—just enough to sleep. It’s an old house, so it’s hot and there’s no hot water for a shower. There’s no staff for questions or concerns, so for the price you can find a better option. I don’t usually mention negatives, but there’s a lot to say considering the cost; it’s fine just for sleeping.
