Alpha Hostel in Salamanca, Brazil

The staff was amazing. Shout out to Luciana for being so resourceful in terms of where exactly to go for fun/live nightlife. I even got the overnight worker towake me up on two occasions because the battery from my phone gave out a few days beforeI left Rio. unlike many hostels in Rio (and at that most locals), the Staff at Alpha hostel knew how to give proper directions and i reached my desired locations perfectly. The only bad thing is not finding ppl my age who stayed at Alpha. i'm 19 :"( Sabienne, from USA ~ 17th Jan 2012

Dear Hostel-owner, please do something! At first I was a little scared! The bathroom should be cleaned more than once a day (in fact the mens looked disgusting), the floors look like a junk room: there are many old ventilators, old boxes and stuff the hostel doesn't need anymore. If you like to sleep on these 3 floor beds which move a lot on every little movement of yourself, this place is for you, I didn't like these. The area is good, but the street is a little dark. For sleeping it was ok, t Marcel, from Germany ~ 17th Mar 2011
