The breakfast is described as varied and abundant, featuring a buffet-style spread with coffee, toast, fruit, cereals orange juice and milk. Many guests appreciate that the breakfast is free and find it a good, simple way to start their day. It is frequently described as filling and sufficient, even exceeding some guests’ expectations.
While the breakfast includes basics like cereals, toast with jam and spreads, some reviews suggest it could benefit from more variety, particularly savory options and fresh fruits. Despite its simplicity, the breakfast is clean, well-organized and consistently stocked—qualities that contribute to a positive experience for many.
Overall, Casa Grande Surf Hostel provides a good breakfast with fresh coffee and decent variety for a hostel setting, although a few guests would like to see additional options to cater to all dietary preferences. Nevertheless, the effort to maintain quality and offer a satisfactory morning meal is evident and appreciated by most visitors.
Casa Grande Surf Hostel offers a mixed bag of experiences when it comes to its rooms. On the positive side, the hostel boasts comfortable and spacious bunk beds, each equipped with curtains for privacy and a lockable cabinet for secure storage. Guests appreciated the large lockers available in the dorm rooms and noted that each bed has its own locker for storing personal belongings.
Several rooms feature good ventilation and are well-equipped, contributing to a comfortable stay. The private rooms, especially those with their own balconies, received favorable mentions for their comfort and functionality. The cleanliness of the bathrooms was highlighted with multiple facilities available and regular cleaning services to manage the sand from the nearby beach.
However, there are areas that could use improvement. Some guests found the mattresses uncomfortable due to sagging and indentations, impacting their sleep quality. The lack of curtains on some windows and the thin white curtains in others resulted in excessive light entering the rooms. Noise was a recurring issue, especially in rooms adjacent to the terrace/bar and near the rooftop where loud music played. The building's thin walls did not help in mitigating this problem.
Space constraints were noted with some rooms and the kitchen being smaller compared to other hostels. Issues with room security, such as doors without locks and the need for better organization inside the cupboards, were also mentioned. Despite the high frequency of cleaning, the bathrooms were only clean immediately after being serviced due to shared shower and toilet stalls.
Overall, Casa Grande Surf Hostel provides a friendly and well-equipped environment with standout staff service, but it has some room for improvement in terms of comfort, noise management and room organization.
Casa Grande Surf Hostel offers a mixed experience when it comes to its beds. Many guests have highlighted the comfort of the beds, describing them as comfy with good quality bedding, which provides a pleasant end to their day. There were also mentions of some beds being super comfortable and even the most comfortable beds they have ever had. The addition of privacy curtains to some beds enhances the experience, although for some beds, the curtains are too short to fully close.
However, not all reviews were positive. Several guests reported issues with the mattresses, mentioning they were deformed, sagging, broken or simply uncomfortable. Some mattresses were described as too soft or concave, indicating a need for replacement. The beds and mattresses appear to be worn out and in need of an update according to multiple reviews.
Noise can be an issue too, as people often talked in the common room until late at night, making it difficult for guests to get a good night’s sleep. Additionally, soundproofing seems to be lacking, potentially disturbing light sleepers.
In summary, while the hostel does offer some comfortable bedding, there are consistent reports of worn-out mattresses that could significantly benefit from an upgrade to improve the overall guest experience.
