This place is huge for a hostel it is more like a hotel. ||The place is clean and they give a free breakfast that was nice the grounds are also nice. They have free WiFi but it only works in the front of the hostel.||We travel with 2 small dogs and the front desk was making a big deal about the dogs and that they can be taken off the HI hostel list if anyone found out about the dogs.

I have been there to party and to relax, all depends on the time of the year (high season/low season)... ||It's a 5 minute walk from the Brasilia Pier, which is easy so you don't have to carry your stuff for a long hike.
