"Adorei minha estadia no Aurora Hostel, a galera é receptiva e a infraestrutura é boa! O quarto compartilhado misto com vista pro jardim é ótimo pois tem gaveta pra guardar as coisas com cadeado e cortinas na cama. Também gostei desse quarto pois as camas são beliche e não triliche. A internet também é boa pra quem pretende trabalhar durante a estadia. O único problema é que aqui no hoteis.com diz que tem café da manhã incluso mas eles cobram um valor aparte pelo café."

"Wonderful staff. The place itself is very well located, but the bunkers are not very solid and are made from light wood (I was on the top one and all night waking up because every time the guest underneath me moved, the whole bed moved too). The communal shower is also very tight. Overall, budget friendly for backpackers who don't mind a certain degree of discomfort "
