The location was good.
The rooms were too squishy. The bottom bunks were private But the top bunks were too exposed to people turning the lights on in the middle of the night. There was not enough seating in the shared areas or dining area. The kitchen was messy and ill equipped.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here, mostly thanks to the incredible team of people running the hostel. Jade is a talented, hard working entrepreneur, as are Lucas and his lovely sister (whose name I wrote down but since lost! Thayssa?) The laid back, welcoming staff and the equally friendly guests (all Brazilians while I was here), made the atmosphere quite pleasant. The kitchen was well equipped, everything was kept clean, and the WiFi worked consistently. The space is a bit of a squeeze on the busier nights, but it was nice to have a bed with a curtain, a locker and a consequent sense of privacy. The air conditioner running all night was quite a comfy luxury (a necessity in hot Fortaleza!) Just across the plaza from the hostel, you can visit the cool cultural center Dragao do Mar to catch an artsy film, or go to the library (also mercifully air conditioned: nice to sit and read rather than walk around in the ninety degree afternoon!) You can walk about eighteen more minutes and be at the popular Iracema beach, great for people watching. The area seems to be safe for strolling before it gets really late, I generally felt safe all over Fortaleza but always keeping an eye out. There are many shops, restaurants and other ammenities nearby, and I highly recommend a vegetarian restaurant about fifteen minutes from here called Centro Cultural Annapurna: it is honestly the best restaurant meal I`ve had in Brazil (all you can eat lunch for twenty six reais!)
Inside the kitchen cabinets could use a deep clean, and the installation of one more countertop (for preparing food) could be a game changer (to make the kitchen more functional). A couple more seat hammocks could be a nice addition to the patio area!

Room with A/C, kitchen with all we needed, next to the center and the Beach. Central market a few meters from there.
All good, rooms a bit small but ok
4.0
Good location in the city centre close to a supermarket, Iracema Beach, the Cathedral and public transport (there are frequent and quick buses that take you to Meireles and Beira Mar otherwise it is a 25/30 minute walk), in front of the hostel you can find a couple of museums, a cultural centre and a night market with food stalls.
Good Wi-Fi, A/C is on only at night-time, the shared kitchen is decently equipped and the staff are very friendly and helpful.
Rooms are pretty small for six people, lockers are also pretty small and so there is not much space to store or place your belongings, no privacy curtain in the upper bunk beds.
No hot water in the showers
4.5
Great hostel, friendly staff and cool vibes all together, even though it's not a backpackers hostel. Equipped kitchen, clean toilets and rooms. Comfortable beds with plugs and even curtain! on the bottom one at least. 24h reception, central location and outside "garden" it's also great
You have to pay to rent a bed cover and AC is on all night so you're freezing all night!
4.0
What I did like about the hostel was the cleanliness and friendly staff
What I didn't like is that the bedsheets never got changed during my one week stay.
3.0
location is okay, bathroom works alright
the room was too small, there was no space at all to put your things. the hostel was not social at all and it looks much bigger in the photos than it really is. there is not really space in the kitchen or to sit. and the room was right next to living area so it was quite loud. that’s not the fault of the hostel but the guests that were in our dorm were quite disrespectful, made a lot of noise, turned on the light when people were sleeping etc.
3.0
The hostel was very cheap, and it had some nice international guests.
The rooms had lockers for your valuables.
A big dislike for me was that the aircondition was only on in the night, so i was impossible to sit inside the hostel during daytime, because of the warm and humid trmperature.
