A estadia no REF House foi muito agradável, em especial pela equipe da casa e o café da manhã. A equipe me tratou super bem, sempre prestativos e educados. O café da manhã era simples porém não deixou nada a desejar, com várias opções e variedades de frutas. Muito bem localizado, em 5 minutos a pé eu conseguia ir à praia do Pepê ou à estação BRT. Voltaria? Sem dúvidas!

Equipe muito atenciosa. Café da manhã: sem mesas para todos os hóspedes. Paredes com aspecto de sujo/lascado/sem manutenção. Ar condicionado MUITO BOM! Boas cortinas e varanda… porém bem complicado subir com as malas (sem auxílio), prefira quarto no 1° pavimento. Está faltando um pouco de zeladoria/manutenção. Porta da sacada/varanda: sem tranca. E há como alguém da rua escalar e chegar no quarto. Achei pouco seguro o quarto com varanda. Tv do quarto: não é Smart. Wi-Fi fraco no quarto que fiquei.

Eu acho que o quarto compartilhado precisar urgentemente de uma restruturação na escada que dá acesso a cama de cima Péssima, a subida para cama de cima é até perigosa. No primeiro momento fiquei na cama de cima e depois de tanto pedi me trocaram de cama Esse foi o ponto positivo

Precisa de atenção aos detalhes

Estadia razoável. Os lençóis eas fronhas estavam manchados, estacionamento cobrado a parte, não implícito no site. O banheiro precisa de manutenção na torneira. O piso do quarto tinha grãos de areia. Não entrei na piscina mas o aspecto do piso é bem sujo e engordurado. Questiono pois o valor da diária é bem elevado, podendo proporcionar uma estadia mais agradável.

Normal, não surpreendeu.

O café da manhã deixou a desejar, em dias distintos percebi que não eram produtos frescos. Faltou suco natural, opções de pães, salchichas e ou outros acompanhamentos. Quanto a limpeza no quarto achei fraco mais as áreas comuns estavam bacana

Perfeito se tivesse manutenção e limpeza

Higiene zero . Entrei no quarto e apesar da cama estar arrumada as toalhas do antigo hóspede estavam penduradas e o banheiro cheio de cabelos . No dia seguinte o banheiro foi limpo porém os cabelos atrás da porta não foram varridos . Paredes com bolor e baratas andando pelo quarto durante a noite . Os atendentes são excelentes e prestativos , equipe muito atenciosa , o lugar seria incrível se tivesse mais cuidado com a limpeza dos quartos e manutenção geral do espaço .

Minha experiência

Nas fotos parece que o local, está novo. Mas, chegando ao local, percebemos que o quarto compartilhado não tem os armários como do jeito que estão nas fotos, ele é bem menor, muitos estão quebrados. Mas, num todo o hostel super me atendeu, o atendimento é maravilhoso, o chuveiro bem quentinho, cerca de uns 10 minutos da praia, com mercado ótimo de uma rede grande, bem localizado. Eu voltaria com certeza, mas talvez não ficaria em quarto compartilhado, pois não achei o quarto convidativo.

Falta de manutenção e limpeza

Preço muito alto para a qualidade do local. (Obs, foi no periodo do rock in rio) Fiquei usando a mesma toalha de banho durante 5 dias, apoio para a toalha de rosto que cai e fica com um buraco na parede que dá pra ver o lado de fora. Varal caindo e armários com mofo. Sem contar uma barata morta que encontrei no chão, ao lado do sofá do hall. Não achei PÉSSIMO mas dadas as condições, não valeu o preço que paguei.
