We loved this hostel, all the reception staff are really friendly and helpful, Freda, her husband and their son are all great too! Really make you feel at home. They are in the process of renovating the downstairs rooms, making a bigger kitchen, and also double rooms with ensuites! We thought the breakfast was good - tapiocas, fruit, coffee, fresh... More

I travelled with 2 friends from the United States - we arranged to stay at Big Hostel before arriving in Brazil - our transportation was at the airport with a smiling driver and a ride as promised to the hostel - it was almost 1am when we arrived and we were greeted with smiles and great service! The hostel is... More

My family and I had a delightful stay at Big Hostel Brasil in January. The owners and staff were not only friendly and approachable, but they also shared with us many wonderful stories from their lives. The room was impeccably clean, the food was savory (which we RARELY say as vegetarians), and the air condition was perfect. The staff was... More

Stayed 6 nights at R110 a night as solo traveller in upstairs private room (6 bunk bed dorm closed off to make private) with shared bathroom. Late night hassle free airport transfer for R50. Very central with 2 block walk to central park area. WIFI in room and throughout worked well at all times. Not a lot to do in... More

Great hostel. The owners were very friendly (if not a little bonkers!) The place was very clean and quiet and great to have a hostel with air con. Bathrooms were clean. Great place to stay if you're embarking on, or disembarking from a jungle tour.

We had just a few hours to spend in Manaus, having arrived at on a late flight from Rio and scheduled to head out into the Jungle early next morning. The fact that this was during the days between Christmas and New Year, made finding a place particularly difficult as most were closed. When we first contacted the Big Hostel,... More

The owners and the people who work there are so friendly and helpful. The rooms are comfortable and air conditioned. The electric shower a bit tricky to get the right temperature, but got there in the end! The best thing about the place is the people.

We only stayed one night before leaving for a jungle tour, but would certainly stay longer if we could. Safe and secure, clean and comfortable, with very helpful and friendly staff. Good location and decent facilities.
