Very welcoming and helpfull People ! Rooms are clean and quiet. Location is perfect, taking advantage of to be close to the main place with night activities and to be outside of the bad and dangerous district.
Very good ratio prices/quality compare several hostel we experienced.response / report this review -

The hostel is VERY overpriced, noting when all the extra costs are added in. I did not have a fortunate experience with the owners. The rest of the staff was nice and friendly. However it is obvious that the owners are out to make as much money as possible. I emailed to notify that I would arrive in the early morning and to ask about some tours. When I showed up at about 5:15am and asked to just sit on the couch until sunrise, noting that I didn't need a bed, the man at reception informed me that I had to pay a full night's stay. He was able to put me in a bed, but had they been full, I would have had to pay just to SIT ON THE COUCH. As per Camila, one owner, this is because "everyone" (her choice of word) always books a room when they arrive that early. Also from her experience living elsewhere, that's the policy everywhere. Well, it's obviously not because after 2 years of traveling around the world, I've NEVER been forced to pay for showing up early. Additionally, she admitted she hadn't read the part of my email where I said I was showing up early and that was her fault. No where is their policy stated either so how was I supposed to know? Her only response the whole time was "That's our policy."
I won't lie. The facilities aren't bad. The bathrooms do tend to smell like sewage though and the toilets are not that strong so I regularly walked in on "remainders".
Breakfast is extra.
Early arrival is extra.
To hang out a bit after check out is extra.
All in all, the hostel will cost you around 1.5-2 times as much if you factor this all in. I found cheaper private hotel rooms nearby for less. Don't bother staying with people that don't know how to accommodate travelers.
Oh, and their tours are also super overpriced. You can head to the port and pay 120 reales for the all day tour with the dolphins, etc. like I did. The hostel will charge you 200. You don't need to speak Portuguese either. English speakers from the hostel were on my same exact tour and they paid 80 more (which in theory is for your pick up and drop off at the hostel tooa 15 minute walk).
They're simply money hungry. Not worth the price at all.response / report this review -

Our first time in Manaus. We opted for a double room, great air conditioning considering the extreme temperature. Good wi-fi, cold filtered water and extremely helpful english speaking staff.

I had a comfortable stay at the Local Hostel, which is perfectly located a stone's throw away from the square.
