Most people staying were only there for one night but I stayed about seven all up. The front room is very nice and of a much higher standard than the rest of the hostel. The staff were nice and friendly but as with everywhere in Manaus a lot of touting going on in regards to trips into the Amazon or... More

One of the best hostels we've stayed in in terms of value for money! Rooms and bathrooms were fairly standard but the staff were so helpful, even helping us get a free lift to the airport when we left which was thorougly appreciated! Booked a tour through the hostel too which is well worth doing due to the various discounts... More

I needed a place to stay after a week long tour in the Amazon jungle. I asked someone for a quality hostel with a good price and Gol Backpackers was recommended. It is a great location close to the Opera House. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I was glad that they accepted credit and debit to pay for... More

The hostel was very accommodating and helpful. Room are good with plenty of room to move and lockers. They have a nice pool, which is good with a beer at the end of a hot day in the city or after a tour that you can book through the hostel with great specials. The only down side is the mosquitoes

Great central location. Very helpful, english speaking staff. The pool is very very refreshing, and the kitchen and dorm rooms have met all of my needs. Would recommend to any backpacker spending a night or 2 in Manaus. Good bang for your buck as well.

This was great value and very comfotable for our one night in Manaus before our jungle tour. This is in a great location, right next to the opera house (step out of the reception and you are there). It is really safe and their restaurants etc around. Would recommend staying here as Manaus didn't seem as safe as i initinally... More

We stayed just one night before our Amazon trip. The staff were helpful and the room had all facilities that we wanted, including a power strip so that 8 devices could be charged at once. We stayed in a 6-person dorm that had nice large lockers, but the latches are pretty small, and could easily be broken off. The AC... More

We stayed here for about a week and stayed mainly for the low price for the area, but not much else. The hostel looks great upon arrival; clean, cool, modern-looking lobby with great television and computer facilities, however the problems start when you get to your rooms. Being in the middle of the Amazon, it gets very hot and humid... More
