Zili Pernambuco - Hostel Pousada, hotel in Recife

Zili Pernambuco - Hostel Pousada has a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and bar in Recife.

For the second night I stayed in a different room, but my review is basically the same. I liked everything. This hostel is a pure example of how the hostels should look like. Big, spacious, with a lot of different areas. Well equipped kitchen, outdoor smoking area, backyard hammock area, common space near reception with a ton of books, front yard with plants, a lot of art in all the areas of the hostel... Rooms are big enough with electric sockets near the beds, this room where I stayed for the second night had its own wc (although there're plenty of restrooms everywhere inside the hostel), vents during the day, air-condition during the night, hot showers, big friendly dog and big friendly cat, helpful and well informed bilingual staff, laundry available, small store with the most necessary items (food and toiletries) at the reception... Quiet during the night, but with a nice international hostel vibe. I hit some booking promo deal, so the price was also very affordable. 10/10

Hostel & Pousada UFPE INN, hotel in Recife

Located in Recife, 11 miles from Guararapes Shopping, Hostel & Pousada UFPE INN provides accommodations with a shared lounge, private parking, a terrace and a restaurant.

That was a lovely combo of positives: geographically well positioned, artistic ambience and thought out facilities. Furthermore, staff/owners engaged into providing one’s upmost enjoyment of one’s time; by awesome indications on what-to-dos based on good chats and customer understanding. The genuine can do attitude and sympathetic overall have won me over.

Fit Hostel - Piratas da Praia, hotel in Recife

Fit Hostel - Piratas da Praia is 3-minute walking from Boa Viagem beach in Recife. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen, free WiFi throughout and concierge service for guests.

1. Otto, the host, is amazing, speaks good english and is always there to help 2. Very clean and tidy, big room, and has hangers outside the window to dry your clothes 3. Strong wifi 4. They have a water filter so you don't have to make a lot of plastic waste buying single use bottles. And the filter also gives out cold water 5. Good location near restaurants, bars & the beach, but not in a noisy hub, as well as by a bus stop 6. Helpful for leaving later in the night after checkout - allowed to keep my bag there and take a shower later.

    My husband and I stayed in the private room in the hostel for 2 days. The hostel is located in a safe area. There are many nice restaurants in the area. The air-conditioning in the private room works well.

    It was a pretty clean and organized place, with good communal space, but no atmosphere whatsoever. For me it made sense because I had an appointment around the corner, but as a backpacker, I was much happier when I moved downtown, where hostels had no pool but a lot of charm (and also were cheaper)

    Very small hostel with a family-like feel! I really liked the location at the daytime - close to a lovely beach, however, once it got dark, I haven't felt safe around as a woman.
