    However, when we reported it to the officer, the officer quickly replaced the mattress pad.

    In our mattress we found quite a lot of bed bugs, making it uncomfortable to rest.

    The triple bunks were a bit on the shaky side when anyone moved.

    construction site and bus stop, taxi parking in front of the building, those produce a lot of noise during night (taxi) and from early morning (construction) so sleeping with open windows will be a challenge

    location is good, near by the train station. quite a few shops and restaurants, cafeteria, pharmacy around. chinese mini supermarket at the ground floor, where you can buy anything you can imagine (non food), walk to the beach is about 7min

    My room was small and I was not a fan of the triple layered bunk beds.

    The place is really clean and well equipped. The Brazilian guy working that day let me check in early. It´s a beautiful space, loved the terrace and sala. Great kitchen, plently of glasses. It a nice old building that has undergone a great restoration, which I liked.

    There is a construction next to the hostel. If you sleep well and don’t care about any sounds, maybe it is not bad place. For me it was too much noise, I couldn’t sleep the first night at all.

    Totally it is fine, especially the staff. All receptionists are super super friendly. And it is really close to the train station.

    BAD EXPERIENCE:- 1, feel some smell on the water also when I was walking around the neighborhood also get that bad smell 2, If you Are planning to checkout early make sure you get the deposit money which is 10 euro per locker will get back in the morning because we didn't find any staff @8.40 am so we went to our next destination and needed to come back again to collect the locker room deposit money. I really appreciate that staff to contact us back and return the money but we get delayed to reach some places due to this incident. 3, There are less Chances to communicate with the property if we call the number and chatting option provided by the booking.com app. I tried to call and chat but I didn't get any reply.

    Good morning 🌞, If you want to find the direction of this hostel located in PAREDE , search for PAREDE RAILWAY STATION because it is two minutes walk from the station do not use the address given on the booking.com app because it is confusing. I stayed this hostel for one night it was a good experience but some drown backs also there. GOOD THINGS :- 1,Location is excellent especially for tourist because there are two or three beaches near by and peaceful and beautiful neighborhood . 2, I booked for 15 euro so it was a really good deal on this money.

    I tried contacting the property multiple times by phone before and during my stay to check if I could check in earlier/check out earlier and my phone call was only replied the day after I left.

    Great location next to Parede train station, the rooms are simple but nice and clean. There was only a few more guests in the hotel so it was easy to have access to the shared bathroom without having to wait.

    Everybody was always making a lot of noise. People continuously listen loudly to stuff on their mobile phones. Since there are a lot of people living there, it was unbearable at times. Also, they don't enforce the silence hours, there were always people talking loudly until 2 am.

    Very good location, close to restaurants, shops. Very friendly atmosphere. Kitchen always clean.

    All the floors and stairs are made of wood and three are no doors separating the corridor from the staircase so the building is very noisy. The do late check-ins. I had 2 people coming to the room at 00.15 and 00.30, so impossible to rest well. 3 toilets on the floor and 1 small kitchen for everyone is not enough for so many people. Wifi failing sometimes.

    New hostel next to the train station.
