    The location is very good in the center of Lagoa da Conceicao and located nice in the middle of Floripa. The rooms are simple, but nice and the beds comfortable. The kitchen is big. The hostel gets cleaned a lot! Meeting new people is very easy.

    Very friendly staff with extensive cooking facilities. There was a great common area with books, a TV and a pool table which led to quite a social atmosphere. Location was great, neR to two supermarkets and with loads of trails either starting...
