    Hostel with sea view
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Bed in 8-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The air conditioning is controlled by a fixed timetable and runs from 8pm to 8am. Although it's on the seafront, if you want to get dressed to go out, it's difficult with the temperature, so maybe move it forward from 8pm to start at sunset. I particularly prefer a bunkerbed with privacy and space for longer stays. At full capacity, it will be a challenge with many people in the room and bathroom.

    If you're coming from Europe, you can trust this hostel, which is well run by an Italian-Brazilian couple. Breakfast is generous with good options, and there are eggs made to order. I recommend the natural juices. The staff will help you with care and attention.

    It would be nice with some more things to do at the hostel, when it’s raining for example. It would be great to improve on the social aspect as well.

    The location could not have been better. Nice rooms and the outside areas of the rooms is also very nice. A pretty well equipped kitchen as well. Breakfast was also pretty nice

    Several people had recommended the hostel, and I'm glad they did.

    Ceiling fans in the dorm rooms and oscillating fans in the common areas, especially the dining areas.

    The location was perfect (directly across from the beach). The entire hostel was spotlessly clean. The staff were always helpful and polite. The pool was ideal when it was too hot to swim at the beach.

    I loved the place.

    I'm a world traveler I've been to 40 countries and I can tell you that this place is one of the most incredible and most friendly places you will ever come across.. The Italian owner and his Brazilian wife will make you feel like a family, the place is right on the water, the waves come every morning to greet you the whole ocean at your feet it was just incredible experience. I whole heartedly recommend this place, that would be the only place I'll stay at if I go back to Fortaleza again. Again the owner and management are so good they will make you feel better than being at home.

    The only thing I didn't find very comfortable was the bed pillow. But that might be a personal thing.

    The owners Gian Luca and Jessica are more than friendly, nice people to be around and willing to help out whenever needed. The location is perfect at Praia do crush (part of Iracema beach). Very comfortable to have the bathroom in the room, which is very clean and has air conditioning.

    Nothing, nada.

    A truly amazing place to stay. This is how all hostels should be. I recommend anyone travelling to Fortaleza to stay here as you will not regret it. Friendly atmosphere, great breakfast in the morning, clean instalations, and the people who work here are very nice and helpful. The location is great too. About 20m from the Iracema beach and on top of that there is a supermercado opposite. Also there is a swimming pool which is great! For everything you get the price is really good. I hope to come back again soon!

    So much hassle to just buy a water, turn on the airconditioning super late and turn it off super early in the morning. Just found the place overall had way too many rules which made simple processes difficult

    a bit noisy because it is so close to the beach (maybe it was only our room as it was at the ground floor next to the swimming pool)

    good little music sessions in the evening by the pool, located right next to the beach, helpful staff
