It was my first time staying at a hostel and my experience here was fantastic:) The location is super con because the Tram is right out the door, had no trouble commuting to anywhere. There are a few cafes like Box Social down the street. The Hostel also has 24/7 staff and snacks/fingerfood and drinks available. I had no problems with anything throughout the whole week of staying there. I didn’t have time to use any of the amenities so I can’t speak on that part. Staffs were very friendly and helpful. The bed was comfy for me and having a cubby to store my stuff. I would say the nature of the hostel, people have their own schedule so at times there were noises late in the night or early mornings. But people were good about keeping to themselves, being mindful of others for the most part. I would definitely recommend this place to others.

Quarto limpo, recepção atenciosa, com excelente atendimento… o hostel tem elevador, chuveiro muito bom… O colchão poderia ser um pouquinho mais confortável, mas não tira nada do impecável que essa estadia representa. A localização é boa, retém transporte perto e dá para ir a pé tranquilamente ao centro histórico, cerca de 25 min. Por fim, a área comum é bem bonita e tudo é novo e conservado. Eu voltaria à hospedagem.

I was pleasantly surprised with this hostel. When I arrived exhausted after a long trip I was greeted very kindly by the staff. I shared a dorm with 11 other girls and at first I was a bit worried about the noise but it was a very calm and relaxing atmosphere (and clean)! Everyone was very respectful. There were separate toilets and showers as well, which was great. The area around the hostel was fine and it was quite easy to take the tram to where you wanted to go.

I had good time. The stuff was wonderful. Was very clean and they provided clean sheets. My only lesson learned is not book in 24 people. One guy was snoring the whole night

Bonne expérience dans cette auberge. L’accueil est très chaleureux, l’équipe est agréable. Lits confortables. Les chambres et les communs sont très propres. Le bâtiment a du cachet, en particulier le salon/bar qui est magnifique dans l’ancien. Chacun a un casier individuel sécurisé avec une carte magnétique. La localisation est idéale à 10 minutes à pied de l’hyper centre. Je recommande sans hésiter.

The room was just cosy, practical and stylish Staff members always there, efficient and kind I didn't stay for breakfast but the dinning room is just beautiful, quiet and pleasant, If I don't need a hotel I wish I can go just to grab my coffee every morning in a place like The Elephant Great job everyone!!!
