Help Yourself Hostels - Restelo

First at all get ready if you don’t speak Portuguese ‘cause nobody there is able to speak English, not even the manager. If you are Brazilian or speak Portuguese you’re fine. Specially if you’re Brazilian. There was a fabela inside there, and I didn’t like it; Second, it’s such a cheap hostel that you’ll sleep together with bedbugs. The bunk beds are for 3 people, first time I saw that. I stayed there for a month and had to deal with it everyday, for more than 30 days of flees and I obviously didn’t get a refund for what I paid. I slept with the bugs and nobody has refunded me about it. And last but not least, the manager doesn’t respond ever. She doesnt take any responsibility of anything that’s going on. She’s not even in the place. It’s literally just run by volunteers that are more afraid of ending up in the street so don’t say anything. The volunteers are not able to communicate unless it was Brasilian portugues, so you have to find yourself around. If you don’t speak Portuguese (Brazil) don’t even go there. It’s just awful. Yes, it’s a cheap hostel. Cheap literally. So that’s what you get. I’ll give 0 stars if I could

There was too many beds in one room. You could not sit in the bed, because there was no space. Downstares no space to sit, becaude sofas were taken off use due to bedbugs. Which were the main reason i would not eecommend this place.
