Bom, mas confuso

Foi tudo ótimo. Mas realmente foi confuso reservar o palma e ter que se deslocar com mala pesada pro outro lado da rua pra ficar no outro hostel que não é o palma. Deveriam separar as reservas e as ofertas.

A pretty hostel in an excellent location!

The hostel is very cozy and niely decorated. Beautiful shared spaces with nice colours. Friendly staff. We got a huge room despite travelling as a couple. The bed was enormous...:D The location was excellent. Not noisy but 3 minute walk and you're right in the middle of weekend festivities in the old town. A nice plus was that you could fill your water bottles in the kitchen. We strongly recommend this hostel!

Pousada bonita mas peca na higiene

A pousada é um charme, fica bem no centro historico de são luis, o atendimento é ok alguns funcionarios super simpaticos e educados outros nem tanto. O café da manhã não é ruim e tem bastante variedade, o problema maior que me faz dar uma nota baixa foi com a higiene do local, as toalhas de banho deixadas no quarto estavam extremamente sujas pedi para trocar e vieram sujas novamente, pareciam estar usadas com marcas aparente de sujeira e mal cheiro, a roupa de cama tambem, a funcionaria que foi super paciente comigo e realizou a troca 3 vezes das tolahas que sempre vinham sujas me informou que esses objetos eram lavados em uma lavanderia externa e que infelizmente isso acontecia muito. Não me hospedaria novamente no local por isso.

Hostel lindo, no coração do centro histórico. A rua do Giz é perfeita e fica pertinho do Mercado das Tulhas, do Cafofinho da tia Dica e do Flor de Vinagreira ( melhores restaurantes da região). As meninas da recepção foram super atenciosas. Voltaria sempre! 😀

PÉSSIMO LUGAR

Péssimo lugar. Não se hospedem se a sua vibe for prédios modernos e shopping. Lugar sujo e fedorento. Péssimo atendimento. Acomodações em situação deplorável.

Boa localização no centro histórico. Um casarão antigo e bem conservado. Muito bonito e bem decorado. Quarto imenso com banheiro novo é muito limpo. Infelizmente a tv não funcionou. Os funcionários fizeram varias tentativas. Porém em vão.

Eine sehr gute Lage am Rande der Altstadt, wo die meisten Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuß problemlos zu erreichen sind. Und trotzdem ist es ruhig, insbesondere nachts. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich und aufmerksam und helfen auch bei Verständigungsproblemen. Die gesamte Hostelanlage ist wunderschön mit alten Möbeln dekoriert. Einziger Minuspunkt: Das Zimmer ist für mein Empfinden zu stark gekühlt, die Klimaanlage ist nicht einfach zu regulieren. Der kalte Luftzug geht direkt auf das Kopfteil des Bettes, so daß es da ungemütlich wird. Da hilft nur, sich verkehrt ins Bett zu legen.

Para um Hostel, é uma excelente opção na relação benefício/custo. Peca pelas comodidades e amenities oferecidos, além do altíssimo valor de uma água ou uma cerveja, sem opção de pagar junto com a conta no checkout.

Casarão histórico de 200 anos

As acomodações são simples, mas é limpo, as camas são confortáveis, o prédio é um casarão antigo de 200 anos, é um ambiente bastante agradável. O café da manhã também é muito bom. A localização é boa para quem quer conhecer o centro histórico de São Luís, que vem sendo revitalizado e na área do Hotel é relativamente seguro. Pelo preço é uma excelente relação custo-benefício.

Um pouco decepcionante

A decoração é muito bonita, mas a limpeza deixou um pouco a desejar. Apesar da localização ser boa, o centro histórico não está bem preservado.
