Hostel Reviver

São Luís


A work in progress when we visited, this spacious new hostel in a huge renovated house has a good central location and plenty of potential. Rooms are large and airy but very basic. There are several good common areas and a decent kitchen overlooking the atmospheric statue-filled garden.
