The new hub for travellers of the Amazon - an Australian owned hostel, located between the famous Teatro Amazonas and Palacio Rio Negro - the perfect base from which to explore the unique city of Manaus and to prepare yourself for the mysteries of the surrounding Amazon Jungle.

After extensive renovations, the hostel now boasts 40 beds, with guest use kitchen and laundry. HOSTEL MANAUS caters for everyone's needs in comfort and seurity - from individual travellers, to large groups - all without losing the homely feel of the building's original ambience.

| The hostel provided excellent service - even organising the ferry to Belem and transfers to the boat. Nothing was too much trouble | ||

| Stayed here for one night before heading to the jungle with 'Antonio Amazon Jungle Tours' (amazing by the way), but the hostel wasnt really up to much unfortunately. Not to complain too much, we only paid £20 for the night, just found it very stuffy, not aircon in the public areas and very overcrowded at times with people coming and going from tours. Great location for Antonios tour because his business is based there, but dont be fooled, the lodges they have in the jungle are twice as good as the room we stayed in in this hostel unfortunately. | ||

| The organisation is very bad. We had to move 2 times our room. They don't speak english. They can't help you when you ask for information.
The atmosphere isn't good, the staff don't like their work. They never laugh.
They say you can use the kitchen, but the only cooking pots they have are filles with food of themselves.
The breakfast isn't hygienic. On the bread there are ants.
You can't pay by card. | ||

| Our first booking was for this hostel was lost. The first floor bathroom is not very clean and smells. The bed sheets did not fit the beds and one had a hole in it. You're not given a key and must rely on the storage space under the bunk bed for any measure of security. Inefficiency of staff when we checked in for our second stay and annoyance of having to fill out the same exact form as we did our first stay even though it was merely four days afterwards. Lack of working fan and overhead light in our room. Missing insect screen on one window.
Pros: good location. Inexpensive. Safe neighborhood. | ||

| Very nice place near of center of the city and main historical points. Very friendly and attentive staff, specially the Manager, Laurence, he gave me all support and tips about what to visit and the best itineraries, beyond to promote my integration with the other hostel guests, I was tripping alone and it was great. Recomend for all. Thank you Laurence and guys. | ||

| Desorganizado: quando chegamos nosso quarto estava ocupado. As toalhas e roupas de cama estão bem velhas, seria melhor o hostel comprar novas e cobrar por elas. | ||

| Excellent location. I could visit all the most important tour spots on foot. I felt safe in the surroundings. Hope to return for long trips by boat to other small villages in the Amazon Forest. | ||

| HORRIBLE, rude staff. Everyone was talking about how the owner was changing, so no one there cared about the place. Didn't have our right room ready, didn't apologize but we were promised a discount, and at the end, another guy tried to scam us for a "new price" (NOT the one I agreed to online when I booked), and then we found out that we weren't even in the computer bookings! NEVER stay here. | ||

| I usually love HI hostels, & stayed in 3 others while in Brazil but this one was AWFUL. The staff were so rude! It was a clean building, but Id never stay here again. Our room wasnt ready (we booked private quarters w/bathroom), so we were told wed stay in a private room with no bathroom the first night. No big deal, but he wasn´t apologetic. We had to leave the room the next morning, but our next room wasn´t ready yet, so we had to store bags for a few hours (they wouldnt even give us locks, they told us to buy them). WORST thing was that when we were checking out at 5am, we were´nt even in the computer system! then the guy at front desk started showing me the admin emails with someone elses name in it from another COUNTRY (same first name, thats IT) and said it must be me! He tried to hit me up for `new room rate`, but I was angry & fed up (especially since they never even booked us in the 1st place),they gave us a small discount off our original agreed rate. HORRIBLE place. | ||
