A Hostel is a house that provides cheap food and lodging for a specific group of people, such as backpackers, students, workers, or travelers. The essence of a Hostel is to: provide a friendly, sociable, comfortable and cheap environment for travellers. Most guests will spend their time in the social areas of the hostels instead of their rooms.

A dorm (short form for dormitory) is a room with several beds (often bunk-beds), all of which can be booked individually by different guests of a hostel.

It is also called a shared room, since you share the room with other guests. Dorms can vary from 4 to 20 or more beds, and some hostels have separate dorms for males and females, while others do not make a difference and offer mixed dorms.

Private bedrooms include towels and no cost. If you stay in a Shared Dormitory we do offer towels but we charge a small laundry fee of R$4.

We provide all linen for all types of accommodation.

We offer small lockers for Valuables at no cost. Our lockers are free.  If you don't bring a padlock we can lend you one.

Unfortunately we cannot accept animals.

Paraty is super safe and everyone parks outside in the street without any safety issues. We do have people in reception 24hours and you can park right in front.

Everyone is welcome no matter the age.  However, if you stay in a shared dormitory we do not allow children under 14 years of age. If you have children younger than 14 you can book a private bedroom
