Sheikena Home is beyond a hostel , it a real home with family values . Their services is beyond expectation . words can not explain till , you go and experience it your self . it is the go to stay place in Rio . apezar de nao falar o mesmo edioma foi tudo traquilo.
The owner is very easygoing. However, she was a bit short of staff
during the carnival for a house that can accomodate 100 people. all reviews »
The staff is very friendly but it would be better if they speak English.
nice atmosphere and friendly people around.
Flexibility of staff. nada.
The cleaning was not done properly during when all the beds were
occupied.
The room was not cleaned every day and it got dirty when all the 12 beds were occupied.
staff is not speaking english. difficult to communicate. the location is far off the centre and not in the safest area (at night not recommended to walk around the streets so you got to get a taxi...) but this might be one of the few affordable places (still expensive for what you get!) during the main carnival season.
The private bathroom was very poor, dirty and cold water! The room was very small for all the beds and location didnt feel too safe.
