Spacious, comfortable and full of hospitality! I loved everything, especially meeting incredible people like Andressa and Luiz. Hope to come back soon!
Has everything you need for an amazing stay at Rosinha. Great location, good structure, leisure within the hostel and space to rest.
The hostel is wonderful! I felt very safe. The staff are excellent and so is the entire structure.
My experience at the hostel was incredible! Just thanking Seu Luiz, Andressa and Ana for the service — they are blessed people who keep that place alive. No words for the structure, all very well organized and tidy, plus this hostel has everything and you can tell the team wants it to grow more and more! I'll be back, thanks for the moments.
Excellent experience at Rosa Surf Hostel. Very good accommodations, wonderful service from the staff. I've stayed at the hostel twice and plan to return. Highly recommend.
We stayed in the private suites for 3 people, excellent accommodation! Everything clean, organized, quiet and very welcoming atmosphere! Great place to stay!
