My husband and I stayed at Sunset Backpackers in January. From the moment of arriving to leaving I just couldnt have wished for a friendlier hostel. The staff remembered our names and often  asked us what our plans were for the day so they could suggest places if we didn't have any plans.  The first night we stayed in a... More

Although I think the hostel is nice, and it is certainly the place to go to party, I have to warn you about the hostel owner. He grabbed me buy the neck and pushed me against the wall over a R$20 dispute which he was in the wrong about - inside the hostel and in front of other guests! I... More

Within walking distance from the famous Praia Mole and with easy bus access to Lagoa Conceicao. Very friendly staff and a great view to the lake. We had a double room with seaview, apparently their best. Wonderful view from the veranda. Most of the other beds are dormitorys. No A/C, only a fan. Room was very small and extremely basic.... More

I've been here many times and I can say it is one of the best places I ever stayed. If you wanna party and enjoy one of the most beautiful views of the Magic Island (Florianópolis) you should stay here. More

This place is really dirty and not well maintained. We had no lights in the bathrooms and it was rarely cleaned. That said we stayed a week and had a lot of fun with the other backpackers until Junior and his slimey father realized they could take advantage of us and took us to this far away club and left...

The place is nice, but the staff were rude, unfriendly and just plain old useless. Over-charged for any service they provided, and performed poorly at tasks that were expected, Location is... More

I'm not the biggest fans of hostels, but Sunset made me feel like part of the family. Part of the reasons is because they organize many activities to bring the travelers together and 'get involved'. The facilities are fantastic and location is wonderful, especially if you like surf and beach! One of the most amazing staffs at any hostel I've... More
