Biergarten Hostel

The stay was going okay - until the last night where we had left some birkenstock sandles on a boat. Luckily our friend picked them up and dropped them off at reception of our hostel, and asked for them to be kept behind the desk for myself for the morning (she dropped a text to me confirming this), this was also confirmed with the girl at reception. The next morning when we went down to collect them, they were not only rude, but completely denied that this had happened.

This is one of those rare gems that looks better than the photos! Mainly female staff were so friendly and happy to answer questions. Stayed in the 4 bed girls dorm at the front - if you plan on early nights then maybe not the best choice for you, but once music stops around 11pm, I passed out in the comfy bed. You'll need to sleep with the air con on and grab a fleecy blanket. Shared bathroom was really clean. In fact, the whole place was truly clean. Free welcome drink, also just a really welcoming space. I was pleased to turn up here. Wi fi was good enough to make a whatsapp call back to England for a long chat. Felt very safe walking back late at night, it's right in the middle of everything on the main track through the island but away from the drag of busier restaurants. If you're alone and wary, thought there are many lovely places to stay tucked away up alleyways in the direction of the mountains, this is a better option given its proximity to everything and ease of getting to :) Did have a slight issue with lack of hot water but travelling through Brazil, I think what us English call hot water is hard to come by!

Cool people and I left my AirPod pro headphones and they sent them to me. Even after the post office was shutdown for the pandemic they found a way. The beds are better then average and they have decent priced drinks. . The best hostel ever
