The best hostel in town. Good backpackers vibes. LGBTQIA+ friendly. Very nice and helpful staff. Clean, cheap, fully equiped kitchen. Good bed and chilling area. Can leave your bag at hostel after check out.

A lot of light coming in the dorm in the morning from some open window without curtains.

The breakfast is great for the price. I wish I paid for the breakfast both days. The place is clean and the security is really good. The rooms are also very well ventilated.

While Brazilian hostels have generally been pretty decent standard in my experience thus far, Zili far and away tops them all. Absolutely every detail has been thought out- from a really well stocked kitchen, to lots of hang out spaces, to squeaky clean rooms and bathrooms, to an efficient key system to wonderfully sweet and knowledgeable staff--- they are genuinely great at everything. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are spacious, the location is on point and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. There are also games to play, a few guitars hanging about, and a pretty good book exchange-- little details that really make the experience much richer. I can't recommend this place enough!

Only critique is that I feel like the plastic bag policy in the kitchen should be revised. They insist a new plastic bag be used for each guest's fridge items- no cloth bags or reused plastic bags accepted- which I understand is probably to help keep the fridge clean... but for an eco-hostel, the multiple plastic bags this produces is kind of inconsistent with their otherwise very sustainable model. This is just a small thing though- this place otherwise absolutely perfect!

Incredibly cozy and welcoming hostel! I felt immediately at ease and like at home. I was lucky enough to be sharing my room with the volunteers who were so approachable and fun. I made some amazing friends at this hostel in a short 3 nights and would recommend to any solo traveller. I loved the hammocks, I also appreciated the water filter in the kitchen, The breakfast service is also really well organised.

You do have to pay for breakfast i guess, but at least you can choose what you specifically want.

The hostal is amazing! Equipped kitchen, nice shared areas, and awesome rooms. I stayed in the private room and I loved it. It is huge! Internet works well. And they have a guitar and other instruments available so night jammings are possible. Ah and the staff keeps the place duper clean and organised.

All good.

It is a very chill hostel, great common area and kitchen. And very close to downtown Recife. The staff were very helpful.

As I stayed in the hostel in March, it was terribly hot at night, and my part of the room could not be properly cooled by EF and open windows. There was an AC in the adjoining room but I was a bit far from it so it was really hot.

super good vibes staff, great facilities, good location, next to a nice late bar/dancing place to check out

some curtains would be nice, sun comes in very early, also a different air van could be good as in my opinion is very strong in one dormitory
