Hostal Alem Do Horizonte

A very good place to rest or spend the night, excellent service and attended by the owners.

My partner and I went for a weekend in March. The location is good (between the beach and the town center), the bed was comfortable, and the room was clean. Those were the positive aspects to highlight. However, I think it's important to point out several negative things they should address: - I was a foreigner and they didn't deduct the VAT, even though Booking.com showed the different rate. - The room was very hot and small, there's no air conditioning, and a night costs 70,000 pesos, expensive for what they offer. - Breakfast included plastic cutlery, instant coffee (it should be ground coffee!), no plates were provided, so we had to use the one that came under the egg pan, the passion fruit juice was very watery and tasteless, and the "butter" and sugar weren't individual portions but came in a large container with remnants of other things because, obviously, everyone uses it (not hygienic at all). - The owner talked to us too much and about things that weren't relevant, like how expensive the bread was (3,000 pesos!) or how they wanted to take the weekend off and JUST SO MUCH they had our reservation (it made us feel awful, like an unwanted burden). - They don't give you a key; instead, they ask you to let them know if you're going out or not so they can keep an eye on things, and you want freedom, not that. - We were dreaming of eating Brazilian food because we had just spent six months in Brazil. They supposedly offered lunches and drinks. None of that was available to us. In short, we were left with a bad taste in our mouths after this stay.

Very friendly owners. Far better service than nearby hotels that advertise booking services but don't deliver, or increase the price upon arrival. Highly recommended.

A lovely little family-run hostel with a fantastic rooftop terrace. The owners, Aldo and Sonia, are incredibly welcoming and helpful; we immediately felt at home! The location is ideal, situated between the beach and the town center.

Peace and quiet to rest after a long walk

Excellent service and very pleasant

A very nice place to stay. Don Aldo and Doña María Sonia are very kind and warm people who welcome and assist you. The place is very clean; you can notice it from the moment you arrive.

Excellent, the owners were very friendly and everything was very clean.

Excellent, family-friendly place. Absolutely recommended. Close to the city center and the beaches. The only downside is the lack of parking.

Super
