"Num primeiro momento fiquei meio perdido tentando localizar o hostel, mas depois deu tudo certo. Fui muito bem atendido pelo Yuri no check in e encontrei o quarto limpo e com uma cama confortável. Os outros ambientes são limpos e o café da manhã é simples, mas condiz com o valor da hospedagem. De um modo geral eu adorei a minha hospedagem no Hostel Mambembe!"
