Ana Brazil

I arrived. The shared female dormitory was small but the bunk beds were very sturdy and the mattress was very thick and comfortable. Considering I'm 5"10 I thought I may be in a pickle but I managed it quite well and it reminded me of being younger. The great thing was that I had a curtain around my bed for privacy and also space in an individual cupboard for belongings and I also had a personal dim lit light. Just perfect. Everything was clean and tidy. Other stayers were respectful and kind. A great experience. I wouldn't hesitate to go again.

-Nice room arrangment. Bed has curtain so it provide private space. Bed is comfortable, clean mat and pillow. There is socket with univérsal adapter for each bed -Have 2 locker for each person, one is very big to put all your valise, one is small, beneath the bed for your valuable belongings (but it does not have the lock. You have to bring yourself or buy it at the receptionist for 2.5 nzd) -Many toilets and bathrooms, super clean, has hair drier which is much appreciate
