Bom, mas precisa melhorar

O hostel tem uma ótima localização, com ambiente agradável e familiar, porém precisa ser renovado. Os colchões estão bem ruins e desconfortáveis, e as toalhas e roupas de cama, bem velhas. Tirando isso, tem tudo pra ser um excelente hostel.

Mais cuidado com a limpeza

Achei q a limpeza não era 100% pelo menos a do banheiro q eu usava percebi q não limpavam o chão do box e dentro… enfim limpeza sempre é fundamental e nunca é demais.

Boa localização e bom atendimento. O que precisa melhorar: wi-fi não funciona nos quartos e o quarto que fiquei tem uma janela no banheiro que fica de frente pra escada que sobe pro primeiro andar, o que gera uma falta de privacidade.

Funcionários secos e não cordiais

Local excelente, instalações boas mas os funcionários eram bem secos e nada amigáveis. Hostel que só tinha famílias e todas de mau humor. Não recomendo para viajantes solo! O meu quarto era no andar de cima não me ofereceram ajuda para carregar minha mala na escada espiral (funcionaria subindo a escada junto comigo). Café da manhã simples e as meninas da cozinha tbem com um humor bem matinal. Piscina verde.

Experiência em Manaíra Hostel

Estadia boa, tranquilo, quartos bons, mas sendo nordeste faz muito calor, mas o ar só é ligado as 21hs até às 9hs. Tem que estar ciente disso!

Disliked: Staff & service

Tem capa de 8, mas o conteúdo é de 3 estrelas.

É um Hostel bem localizado, bem bonito estruturado, bem charmoso. Mas deixa a desejar no quesito aconchego o ar condicionado liga as 21h e desligam as 09h. O quarto com ventilador é péssimo faz muito calor e o caseiro exige que a porta e janela fiquem abertas entrando muitos mosquitos e muita claridade. Se você vai para socializar, esqueça. É só um lugar bom para os olhos!
