    Very sociable and lots of nature, great garden

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

    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)

    The staff was great!

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

    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 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.

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

    I enjoyed everything.

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

    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.

    The staff was very nice, in the hostel is everything you need and the central location.

    In general it was a nice stay and the staff is friendly and supports. But my shoes were stolen in the hostel which I put outside the room. It can happen but the way the manager handled this situation was very bad in my opinion. I gave my phonenumber to the reception so the manager could make contact to me because she is the only one with acess to the cameras. In the end of the day she didn't even gave a feedback and even asking for the contact of the manager, the reception was not allowed to pass me her phone number. Never seen this in a company or hostel that you cannot contact the manager if something serious happens. The next day the reception told me that the manager looked at the videos of the camera but in this especific area it was possible to identify a person. I haven't seen one image and until the end was not possible to have a direct contact to the manager. So I have the impression, if there are no problems, the hostel is nice, nice staff but if there is any problem you are not able to contact the manager. Hopefully she rethinks her way to handle situations like this.

    Couldn't use the pool as it was always dirty with leaves and many things. The backyard was very dirty. Someone gutted and cooked fish every day so it smelled horrible in the entire hostel.

    I loved this hostel!! Everything was perfect. The staff is soooo nice and welcoming. Even the cleaning ladies were super sweet. This hostel has a beautiful energy to it.. very peaceful. With a great price, location, you can't beat this hostel in Recife

    Can't think of one thing I didn't like.

    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.

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

    Mad a friend!

    I could be much cleaner with very little effort. Many things need proper repair, like faucets, the lockers beneath the beds, and the fan in the living room that makes so much noise it’s impossible to sleep in the dorm just next to it. The still water of the pool is not reassuring
