Lots of mosquitoes and no net at the window to stop them from entering

Very sociable and lots of nature, great garden

Hostel Cosmopolitan is the hostel perfect for Solo Travellers like me. It's very social. The employees, volunteers and also the owner are super nice and welcoming and helped me a lot. There were also events for example once we did a barbecue and another day we went to a Karaoke Bar together. I really felt at home and didn't even want to leave (I enlarged my stay everyday). My favourite spot was the Pool where I went every evening but the hammock is also great to relax. The location is perfect! The supermarket and the beach are only 5-10 mins from the hostel and the center is easily accessible by Uber (20 mins) or bus (30 mins)

Only 2 toilets/showers for all the dorms, a bit annoying

The staff was great!

I wish I could rate this hostel higher based on my experience with the staff/volunteers/other guests, but unfortunately, the room was not great. The window was broken and couldn't close properly which is problematic when there are many mosquitoes just outside. We had to use a bag and tape to cover the open part of the window. The room smelled bad most of the time, and the towels were very old and stained or worn down. The bathroom smelled and the toilet flush was extremely weak so it was difficult to flush most of the time. One night ants were falling from the roof in the bathroom so they were all over the bathroom floor.

Very friendly staff, volunteers and other guests so there was a good social vibe. I enjoyed the simple breakfast and coffee, and sometimes free cake. The bed was comfortable enough. Filtered water was good although the stream was weak so it took a while to fill up water bottles! Good location within walking distance of the beach and close to a main road with buses to the airport or the old town of Recife.

I enjoyed everything.

For being a hostel it was super cute. I had a private room with great AC.

when I check-in, the reception didn't give me the change because out of cash, and said would offer it when check-out. the day I check out, again they said no cash for me. Well, real 3 is a small one, not a big deal (maybe that's how they think even it is true ). But the way how they work make me a bit speechless.

good location, walk to the beach. possible to take a bus get to the airport. very clean bathroom.

Stayed in June 2025

The bed sheets could be improved and maybe the bed drawer were really noisy.

The staff was amazing and the people awesome. The facilities were okay and could be improved. The location is good as it's close to the beach but far away from any real tourist activity/old town.

Great staff

The only thing I think was bad is the WiFi, not good, unstable and many times didn't work.

The location is great, close to the city centre, beaches and markets. The room has air-conditioning this I didn't expect but was really good, the bed is really comfy and the kitchen well prepared as well as the fridge.

The kitchen isn't in good condition, a small renovation would go a long way. Also, mosquito lamps would make it easier stay outside during the evenings.

The staff was really great. The best thing was the large communal space were u can eat and sit with others, and the backyard which felt so nice to be in.

Mattress had very weird bumps in it, which affected sleep..

Super friendly guy at the reception, giving great tips on what to do in Recife. Great Internet Speed.

The floor did not feel very clean. The toilet was not working properly when we arrived and throughout our stay. We let the receptionist know, so I hope it will be fixed for the next guests.

My husband and I stayed in the private room in the hostel for 2 days. The hostel is located in a safe area. There are many nice restaurants in the area. The air-conditioning in the private room works well.

Stayed in June 2024

Staff weren't welcoming on greetings. Our toilet in our room was broken when we arrived and when they fixed it, they left our bathroom floor very wet and the bathmat dripping wet with toilet water. The air-conditioner leaked, which we didn't realise the first time we used it, and all of our bags got drenched from the water on the floor.

Good communal spaces, coffee and biscuits in the morning, good sized room and comfy bed. Location is ok if you are happy to use public transport or uber to get to the main sights

No complaints. It matches the price point.

Valué for money, offered filtered water, good location, helpful staff. Room air conditioned- Recife was hot.

Stayed in March 2024

Plenty of beds per area in 2 of the 3 shared rooms. Clogged toilets, clogged sinks and beds with drawers that made a huge noise when opened. They could remove some beds and charge higher daily rates, as they are in a very popular neighborhood in the city, and thus offer a little more comfort to guests. In the future, if it undergoes renovation, the place will look great, but for now, I wouldn't go back.

The owner and one of the employees I had contact with were very attentive. The place has a full kitchen with all the utensils for you to prepare your meals.

small room no wifi in the room

It was okay, more of a stopping over place than somewhere I'd stay if I was in Recife for a few days. Thete are some hostels that you stay at and you're not surprised when someone switches the light on at 5am and starts packing their gear. This was one of those places.

Breakfast isn't included but they do lay on coffee, crackers and jam in the morning. It's close to a large supermarket. Large under bed lockers.

Be careful to mosquitos at night in the room.

The staff was very welcoming and helpful giving us various recommendations for visiting Recife. The position is fantastic!

The mattress was to soft so if you are on the heavier side then you will feel the bedframe.

The staff was super nice and friendly. And the hostel is beautiful! A very calm space that is both private and quiet but still is close to all you need like the supermarket, beaches, restaurants and more.

I didn’t like the bed. It was very short and felt unstable.

Location is good, only a 5 minute walk to the beach. Area seemed safe.

Stayed in April 2023

The room was a bit small and the beds were a bit uncomfortable , it also got a bit noisy at night sometimes.

The hostel was private and secure behind gates. We had a private room which was perfect and had a private bathroom too.

Stayed in February 2023

The room for 2 people was very tiny and generally the property needs some renovations. Even though I booked a room with two beds, I received only with one.

The swimming pool in the common area was very cosy and the personnel of the hostel very nice. The location very suitable for promenade walks.

Everything is perfect
