Reviews of Wanderlust Hostel

The place was amazing and location was perfect

Location is amazing! Close to everything and just a few blocks from the best beach in Maceió. The staff was incredibly friendly and the hostel really felt like the ones you’d find backpacking europe where no one stays in their rooms.

There were construction work going on which did make it hard to work in the common areas and the water from the shower was always freezing

The hostel looks just like the photos. The bedrooms are comfortable, with privacy curtains for each bed. The bathroom was always clean, and the air conditioning worked perfectly

There’s no dedicated luggage storage at the reception. I left my bags with them without any issues, but having a proper storage area would definitely be an improvement. If you need to take a shower after checkout, there’s an additional fee of R$30, if I’m not mistaken

Modern hostel with comfortable and spacious beds and dorm. Had space for my backpack underneath the bed. Location is great and a 7 min walk from the beach or supermarkets. Breakfast was good and had great selection.

The vibe was missing (if you travel soso and don’t speak Portuguese) and the price was a bit too high for what you get

What I liked about the property was the comfort on the rooms and the kitchen that we could use for cooking and lounge. They aswell let me be there until the time of my bus at 21:30, on the common spaces. The breakfast was really complete aswell and with options that you can ask extra aswell included like tapioca doce and salgada. The staff was aswell nice and helpful.

I didn’t like the fact that when I arrived with any information given by them, that the space on the first floor was on renovation. I feel that the guest should be warned about it because when you arrive and see that the place is torn apart and not offering exactly what they sell through pictures. The service that was being provided anyways was okay but the conditions not the best and I feel that they should lower the prices in those terms. The fact that aswell there was no power for some limited time in the middle of the day and the elevator couldn’t be used, nobody warned us about it. The stairs were full of bed sheets scattered around and cleaning stuff, not the image that they’re selling on booking. I just feel when you’re giving a service you should keep the standards and if the standards are not being kept for a reason, they have to informe the customer after the booking saying that the hostel is not 100% has it should and the person decides either to stay or not. Ofcorse they can loose some bookings but it’s better than arriving and being surprised by it.

The hostel is well located, near the beach but also lots of restaurants, supermarket, laundry etc. The beds are super comfy and private and the facilities are good Breakfast was decent and nice to be included And amazing that they provide a towel and make your bed before you arrive too!

Because of the hostel set-up (cubicle beds) etc, it is pretty unsocial and hard to meet people as the social meeting areas aren't amazing and there is no reason to hang out in a public area (no comfy sofa's, games etc) So great stay if you just want to chill/ if you are traveling with people already, but if you want to make new friends, there are better options.

The dorms are comfortable and the bathroom clean. Location of the hostel is great too.

The so called rooftop isn’t one, it’s just the top floor with a kitchen, a couch and a balcony. The balcony doesn’t even have table or chair. There is no real communal space to chill or meet people which is a bit disappointing for a solo traveller. Lastly, it seems that it’s still under construction so it’s a bit messy and you have construction work noise as of 10am

Well located. Confortable beds and clean bathrooms.

There’s no filtered water to drink and i thought the commun space would be more social

The hostel itself is nice, comfortable bed and bathroom.breakfast was good

The emergency stairs were obstructed for 3 days. Despite my request to free it. This is how people die. Very lucky i did not sue
