quarto amplo. sempre limpo, banheiro mt bem cuidado.
Cobra aluguel de cobertas R$ 20 reais, toalhas no valor de 20 reais, café da manhã 25 reais, achei bem chata essa situação e passei frio na madrugada, já que o ar condicionado é ligado e o hóspede não tem acesso ao controle para regular a temperatura.
Minha sugestão é procurar um hotel, paguei numa diária na Barra R$ 95 reais (conforto, vista, café / almoço, quarto privativo e 110 o casal ) .
A localização é perfeita e as acomodações são ok, normal para um Hostel. Achei um local seguro e gostei bastante do pessoal que trabalha. O café da manhã é pago por fora e não compensa tanto, talvez seja melhor ir em algum comércio próximo.
O hostel tem como ponto positivo a localização, mas senti que somente esse ponto foi positivo. Estava chovendo e estava com goteira nas mesas do café da manhã, a cama que eu fique não era confortável e o quarto era extremamente pequeno, no maleiro não cabiam as malas de viagem, o que consequentemente fez com que as malas ficassem espalhadas pelo quarto, o preço é ok, mas faltam melhorias na estrutura.

Achei a localização ótima, mas os funcionários um pouco grossos em certos momentos, a Dani é incrível..
O Hotel Andrade Barra acredito que já teve suas épocas melhores. Aparentemente sua fachada principal nós trás a impressão de imponência e estrutura quase quatro estrela, porém decepcionante não é. Por começar pelo elevador, o qual apenas um funciona enquanto o outro permanece com uma placa de manutenção pelos 3 dias de estadia que fiquei por lá. Muitos hóspedes para apenas um elevador. O café da manhã razoável e uma aparência nunca vista por mim, o bolo totalmente esfarelado em uma bandeja. O ar condicionado no primeiro quarto em que fui locado não funcionava e quando cheguei na recepção outro cliente reclamando pelo mesmo motivo, assim fomos recolocados para outros quartos onde o ar funcionou. O ponto positivo foi a localização que é bem previlegiada.
