We should mention
- At check-in, parents or a legal guardian travelling with children under 18 years old are obligated to present the child's birth certificate and an identity card with a photo (for example, a passport). For international travels to Brazil, if only one of the parents is travelling with the child, the parent must present – in addition to the child's certificate of birth and identity card with photo – a letter authorising the trip signed by the other parent with a notarial certification of signature. If the parents or the legal guardian, as applicable, cannot or are unwilling to give this authorisation, a judicial authorisation is required. People intending to travel to Brazil with children must consult with the Brazilian consulate prior to travelling for more information.
- One child aged 4 years old or younger stays free in the same room as the parent or guardian when using existing bedding.
- Pets are welcome in certain rooms only; other restrictions apply. To make arrangements for your pet, contact the property directly at the number on your booking confirmation.

Limpeza dos banheiros é terrível, principalmente. Mas de um modo geral, a limpeza é um ponto fraco no hostel. Deviam se empenhar mais nesse quesito.

Propaganda enganosa
Trata-se de tapiar o cliente. Contratamos o serviço por um valor e ao chegar lá me foi cobrado outro valor e ainda colocaram a culpa no site expedia. O recepcionista me informou q não fomos os primeiros a acontecer isto. Colocam preço no site pra três e chegando lá o valor é cobrado por pessoa. Confirmam a reserva pra três e cobram por pessoa. Picaretas. Camas usadas e bagunçadas. Ao entrar em contato com o gerente ele n honrou o valor e ainda disse q se n pagasse n era para hospedar. Como já eram 22hs acabei tendo q ficar na espelunca.
