Fiquei hospedada por uma noite no MEC Office e adorei a experiência! O quarto estava impecavelmente limpo, com cama, cobertas e lençóis super confortáveis e roupa de cama cheirosa. O ambiente é tranquilo, muito organizado e o banheiro também estava bem limpo, com um shampoo/condicionador muito cheiroso. O som ambiente é ótimo, com estilo de bar e um projetor excelente — deu pra relaxar bastante! O anfitrião Michelângelo foi extremamente simpático e atencioso, tornando a estadia ainda melhor. Atendimento nota 10! Super indico. 🌿✨

Bom quarto para estadias de trabalho

Hospedei em final de semana para descansar e o quarto 04 tinha uma cama boa, com bom travesseiro, com TV a cabo e ar. Esse é um bom kit e me ajudou no descanso! O hostel em si tem bons espaços para trabalhar. O quarto individual possui muitos armários e mesa para que o hóspede tambem possa trabalhar dalí por longas estadias, se quiser. O banheiro merece uma atenção com a hidráulica, iluminação, e uma limpeza pelo menos duas vezes ao dia. Parece que há algum problema na parede que está estufando uma parede do quarto em que estava. Não andem a pé das barcas até o hostel a noite. O local do hostel parece mais seguro mas trechos desse caminho, não.

Muito boa

Nossa experiência foi muito boa! Eu e minha amiga pedimos um quarto privativo. Embora não tivesse um banheiro completo, havia um lavabo, o que já foi um grande ponto positivo, pois não precisávamos compartilhar o tempo todo. Se o quarto tivesse um banheiro completo, seria excelente, já que em alguns momentos enfrentamos fila para tomar banho. A equipe é muito atenciosa e simpática, sempre pronta para nos atender. Além disso, a localização é ótima! As camas são confortáveis, o quarto é muito limpo, e ainda há um espaço externo ideal para estudar.

Do Hostel você pode esperar todo apoio, conforto e clima fraterno possível! Eu não tive oportunidade/tempo de aproveitar a piscina, mas voltarei pra isso! hahaha No mais o atendimento é excelente desde o primeiro contato até a despedida. Esperem apenas excelência.
