Raquel Brazil

Reception 24hs. They helped me with my locker immediately. They are very responsive and quick to act. Bed with 2 USB sockets and electricity socket. The only bed sheets that I ever had that didn't make me sweat! The towel is QUALITY! Tick and soft, so it always stays dry. Separate locker room / toilet / shower is so nice. I didn't even hear people leaving at night! The shower has the rain from the top AND the manual one. They're even better than at my place! The kitchen is luxurious, best kitchen that I ever used in a hostel. Note: this is a top hostel, people don't even cook here, so you will have it all for yourself if you plan to cook during your stay.
