We selected this hostel because of it awesome location, right in the historic center of Paraty. Upon arrival we were pleased to see it really was in a great place, right in the center of everything. The staff was friendly, too. However, the hostel itself leaves much to be desired. The shared room is essentially an attic. The beds are... More

Its a shame that this hostel has ruined my time in Paraty. The city is beautiful, colorful, and has a wonderful personality of its own. The hostel was putrid. Disgusting bathroom that isnt cleaned and is often broken, Lack of locker availability, precarious stairway entrance/exit to dorms making any use of the facilities at night a hassle and chore, aggravating...

Really to avoid in Paraty. What a such beatiful town and what a crappy accomodation. Dirty rooms, oxidated fridge and ruined furniture, dampness everywhere and it cost us R$120 per night ! Abusive ! Even dampness flys at bathroom ! More

We stayed at this hostel in the beautiful town of Paraty and was not disappointed. From the moment we arrive we felt welcomed and this continued throughout our stay. The hostel is owned/run by a British guy called John who was really friendly and helpful. He supported by a very friendly team, the lovely Claudea on Reception, friendly cook (who... More
