Important notice: *If you want to book for New Years Eve or carnival please read at the bottom very carefully. Female dorms in May/2010 with great discount price! Book now! Bookings made for May/June-2010 except local holiday (Jun 03-06) is eligible for a promotion of 4 nights you pay you get an extra night for free out of your reservation (Do not book your night for free here). This promotion is valid for all bookings paying 30Reais or more per night. It means that you have to pay a minimum of 120Reais total per person to get this promotion. The free night is available wherever we have a bed at the hostel. Ah! By the way for May and June all booking paying more than 30 Reais a night 1 free drink every day after 6pm. get your voucher upon arrival. We have attractive prices because we have so many beds to be filled every night... so it is better to have a small price with a guest on our bed than a big price with an empty bed! That’s why we are focused for those on a budget. Check our reviews to see how nice our staff, security and location (you are in the middle of everywhere) are! Be sure you will enjoy! Free Stuff: Breakfast*, coffee and tea, sheets, wi-fi connection, popcorn (just in case you get a craving while watching a movie), kitchen with a microwave, fridge, etc, lockers (bring your padlock or buy one here), a really amazing view of the Christ from our veranda, travel information, pool table and great conversation. * Breakfast starts at 8:00 (during carnival much earlier so you can get out and enjoy yourself) Security: Well, it’s easier to break out of some prisons in Brazil than it is for a stranger to get into the hostel: Just check our security ratings! We have a person at the front desk 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. We have security cameras and two locking doors on the way in. So we would be ideal for girls traveling alone. Fun: If you like parties, this is where to start your trip. We have a bar with sound equipment where you can plug in your iPod and be the DJ or let someone else take over. A pool table is available to use for free and the beer is cheap. If you’re looking for something a little more laid back, there’s a television with plenty of movies and we are more than happy to book tours around the city for you. Ace Backpackers is a fine example of a “home away from home”. IMPORTANT NOTE: The bookings where you pay less than R$20.00 per person per night DO NOT include breakfast and have a minimum stay of 3 nights. This dorm is inexpensive for budget travelers. The other rates have the regular services mentioned here. This special is for low season (March through November) and not valid for local holidays.
