O melhor hostel da lapa

Hostel muito bom, quarto com apenas 5 pessoas, amplos espaços de convivência, ótima cozinha e banheiros, flexibilidade nos horarios, bons colchões e travesseiro. Ar condicionado novo que poderia ser usado o dia todo, raro no Rio. Deixa a desejar em não ter tomada nas camas, apenas uma em meu quarto. Não ter locker, apenas armário que servem duas pessoas. Beliche frágil que balança. Não tem micro-ondas e bebedouro, precisam corrigir isso no anúncio. Fica numa parte da lapa um pouco mais perigosa, mas em compensação é mais silenciosa.
