Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Never book this! They have not let me in for a check in at 20.30 pm after a day trip. I had the chance to check in till 22.00. But many weak excuses made that they let me, a woman, just alone at the street by night. Definitely a very unprofessional way of menasing a hostel! Wouldn't book here as you would have a great time in Petrapolis.

    The hostel is in between the center and the historical buildings. On the outside it is a nice building and I loved the colours and decoration inside the hostel. Unfortunately the facilities are very basic with the choice for or a cold shower or a warm shower with a little amount of water. This place further completely lacks hospitality.
