Horrível

Fujam desse Hostel!!!!! Reservei um quarto um pouco melhor e ao chegar no Hostel o gerente Pedro me informou que os quartos estavam em “reforma “ e que que faria um downgrade!!! Pela lei isso não é possível , aceitei pois estava cansado da viagem e seriam apenas dois dias no Hostel . Solicitei um locker e pasmem, eles cobram por um cadeado xexelento o valor de R$ 25,00. Em outros Hostels , o cadeado é brinde . Já venham preparados para serem cobrados por tudo que forem usar . Wi-Fi é um lixo , fica caindo o sinal nos quartos. Tudo aqui você paga !!! Rede móvel não funciona dentro do Hostel . Tomadas das camas o adaptador do carregador não funciona, tem que achar um jeito de encaixar certo e deixar lá se não o telefone não carrega . Ar condicionado não gela o suficiente, quartos abafados e com pernilongos. Café da manhã cobrado e não é tudo aquilo não. Por R$ 25,00 é possível tomar um café bom nas proximidades do Hostel Galera gringa que se hospeda no Hostel , sem senso de comunidade. Chegam de madrugada falando alto, rindo e não se importam com o barulho que eles fazem . Não recomendo esse Hostel pela péssima experiência que passei fazendo “downgrade”.

Foi bom mas podia ser melhor…

O espaço e o conforto que o hostel oferece deixa a desejar. A piscina tava muito suja, inutilizável, o sofá da sala de TV com almofadas sujas, faz falta um filtro de água na cozinha compartilhada. A internet é bem ruim. Perderam o cartão do meu quarto e tive que ficar com a porta destravada por 2 dias, ninguém se propôs a solucionar. Não poder escolher a cama (baixo/cima) com antecedência também não ajuda a ter uma boa primeira impressão. O pessoal do staff a maior parte do tempo parece perdidos em como executar os processos, mas são pessoas incríveis, todos são muito educados, engraçados, e fazem o que pode para resolver os perrengues. Destaco a qualidade dos serviços do Ítalo, Willian, Ju (limpeza), Enrique (loketa) e Felipe. A limpeza dos quartos e banheiros é feita diariamente em uma boa frequência. O free tour é um diferencial positivo. Apesar das ponderações eu indicaria ou voltaria por dois fatores: localização e staff.

Amazing staff! It was my first time in Brazil and I was travelling alone, I did not know what to expect. It was an unforgettable experience. On their time off, they showed me around and gave me ideas on where to go. I felt welcomed the minute I walked in. The location is perfect! Close to the beaches , supermarkets and metro station. There’s a pool, a bar area ,kitchen. The rooms are air-conditioned. Breakfast is not included but is a fair price !Definitely recommend this hostel!

Abaixo das minhas expectativas.

Nao dei sorte dessa vez, quarto sujo, bem sujo, nao dava pra ficar sem chinelo, cheiro de mofo nos colchões, sem condiçoes de ficar sem ar condicionado, reclamei e fui atendida, as fotos nem de perto retratam a realidade, falta limpeza, locais simples nao significa nem de longe sujos, ja dormi em redes em colchoes no chao, sem problemas, mas nesse nao ficaria novamente, tinha 2 diarias e fiquei apenas uma e cancelei a seguinte por falta de condiçoes minimas para um hostel mediano.

Perto da praia e metro, funcionarios excepcionais!

Fui muito bem recebido, os funcionarios sao simpaticos e receptivos. O hostel fica proximo a praia de copacabana e do metro e isso é otimo! Minha queixa é quanto ao chuveiro que nao tem controle de temperatura e aos quartos que nao tem armario dentro pra guardar malas, com isso o quarto fica bagunçado pelo acumulo de malas. O café da manha é otimo e gostoso. Um ponto positivo sao as tomadas que tem nas camas. No mais, o clima é agradavel e o hostel é bacana!

Suite privada precisa de manutenção urgente

Fiquei na que deveria ser a melhor suíte do Bamboo Hostel (se não me engano se chamava Suíte Búzios) que é de excelente tamanho e tem uma varanda muito simpática, além de ser um tanto bucólica por estar encostada na rocha. Mas infelizmente a manutenção estava PÉSSIMA. Veja na foto o enorme buraco na parede (dry-wall) bem atrás do lugar de um dos travesseiros. Havia insetos dentro desse buraco. O trilho da cortina principal estava caído (vide foto; estava assim quando eu entrei no quarto - ou seja, nada foi conferido após a última hospegem nele). E várias luzes de teto do quarto estavam queimadas - inclusive da escada interna de entrada e da varanda. Ou seja, manutenção ZERO. E o guarda-roupas estava sujo. Pena, pois o hostel como um todo é muito simpático e em localização formidável.

Good times!

Manuela, Brian, and pretty much everyone there was wonderful. Staff was very helpful and sweet. Place is about 5 blocks from Copacabana beach (great location for very little money). It has wifi. We had a private room with a double bed in a private bathroom, it was a great and convenient accommodation. It is the equivalent of 1 to 1.5 stars motel place in Southern CA. We bought a package which included breakfast, it is basic but good, coffee, juice, breads, sweet bread, ham, eggs, fruit, and a panini maker. It's basic but helpful to start you off in the mornings. AC worked well. Linen was old, but luckily we had brought our own sheets and pillow cases anticipating that. It made for a better stay. Bed is comfortable. No theft problems in private room. Housekeeping staff is friendly and accommodating. If you want comfort and higher stars, this is not your place. We went during Carnaval and prices were extraordinarily expensive in Copacabana, so we had no choice, but had a wonderful time nevertheless. We are used to 5 star resorts, even so, we made do and had a great time. Dormitories look like they have no AC, and are not comfortable, but we're not really sure since it was a removed area from our room. If you arrive during the day take metro (subway) from airport, get off on Sierra Campos station, and take a 3 dollar taxi to hostel from metro station (less than 3 minutes from station). Have fun!
