They have lockers in- and outside the rooms, which is great (bring your padlocks). The aircon is set freezing low at night, but since there are curtains around the bed, the temperature is correct. The fact that they serve breakfast is nice because everybody comes to the same area around the same time and it’s good for mingling. The water on the swimming pool looked disgusting - great thing the beach is just 2 blocks away.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here, mostly thanks to the incredible team of people running the hostel. Jade is a talented, hard working entrepreneur, as are Lucas and his lovely sister (whose name I wrote down but since lost! Thayssa?) The laid back, welcoming staff and the equally friendly guests (all Brazilians while I was here), made the atmosphere quite pleasant. The kitchen was well equipped, everything was kept clean, and the WiFi worked consistently. The space is a bit of a squeeze on the busier nights, but it was nice to have a bed with a curtain, a locker and a consequent sense of privacy. The air conditioner running all night was quite a comfy luxury (a necessity in hot Fortaleza!) Just across the plaza from the hostel, you can visit the cool cultural center Dragao do Mar to catch an artsy film, or go to the library (also mercifully air conditioned: nice to sit and read rather than walk around in the ninety degree afternoon!) You can walk about eighteen more minutes and be at the popular Iracema beach, great for people watching. The area seems to be safe for strolling before it gets really late, I generally felt safe all over Fortaleza but always keeping an eye out. There are many shops, restaurants and other ammenities nearby, and I highly recommend a vegetarian restaurant about fifteen minutes from here called Centro Cultural Annapurna: it is honestly the best restaurant meal I`ve had in Brazil (all you can eat lunch for twenty six reais!)

Great location for kiting (20 m from beach and a bar where you can rinse all equipment & have a sun downer) and they have equipment lockers. Staff were super nice. Everything clean and good social calendar. 10 mins walk to the centre.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location - just around the corner from the beach and in a safe area! The staff are friendly, plus check in and out were easy! The rooms are decent with AC! The chill areas are really nice with hammocks and a small pool! Breakfast is served in the morning and there is free coffee all day! They have home office facilities plus a laundry.

    Great hostel, friendly staff and cool vibes all together, even though it's not a backpackers hostel. Equipped kitchen, clean toilets and rooms. Comfortable beds with plugs and even curtain! on the bottom one at least. 24h reception, central location and outside "garden" it's also great
