Social Hostel

GOOD POINTS: 1) This may be the cleanest hostel I have ever stayed at. Every day the staff does a fantastic job cleaning the common areas and the floors in each room. 2) The location is great. 3) The building is new. 4) showers have actually hot water. 5) group dinner every Monday is nice. 6) some bedrooms have USB A sockets directly built into the wall. BAD POINTS: 1) Rooms have no heating for winter. Curitiba is COLD in winter and it is unbelievable that the hostel does not provide any heating. It’s possible to ask for extra blankets but that still isn’t enough. For summertime, in the rooms there is an electric fan but I suspect that is inadequate. The hostel really should install an air condition in each room that is capable of heating and cooling. 2) Kitchen does not have a toaster. I asked about this was told previous toasters brisket after one month. A toaster is a common item and I suggest the hostel buy a better quality toaster or an oven toaster if they have problems. I think every other hostel I have stayed at in South America has a toaster. 3) kitchen lights above tables are dim. This is a problem at night. 4) if you search for the hostel by name in the “99“ ride share app the app will take you to the old location of the hostel. The hostel should warn people about this. 4) When I checked in the staff did not ask me if I wanted a top bed or a bottom bed.
