Stayed for 2 nights at this hostel and was very disappointed due to the previous reviews left here. For the whole two days there was a massive Brazilian pool party happening in the hostel - shouting, banging, twerking everywhere. The kitchen was basically unusable because there were people cooking shisha coals the whole time. 

The shower also leaked 24/7 and was unfixable (got an electric shock when I tried), the air con didn’t work very well and WiFi was on and off. 

Positives were that the double room was a good size and the location of the hostel is very good. But having been travelling for the last 5 months around South America, this was definitely one of the worst accommodation experiences we have had. 

Ridiculously loud - not worth it

My girlfriend and I had an amazing stay at Carpe Diem. We just got off a long and uncomfortable bus ride from Rio. We got in very late at night and we did not know what to expect. Our room was very clean and cute. The service was excellent. Breakfast was great and the location is outstanding!

Amazing Place

Pretty great hostel for the money, the receptionist were super awesome, it’s location is perfect, close to a supermarket and the bus station.

Great budget hostel

A group of 4 of us were spending only two nights in Paraty so for Leo to book us onto one of the best boat tours on the island (Gladiador) and spend time researching our onward travel options, we couldn’t thank him enough. Spoke great English and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay. 5 stars!

Friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable staff

This hostel was perfect for our stay in Paratay. 
The location is spot on, a road away from the bus station - which is important because you’re there every day traveling to different beaches. 2 supermarkets within a few minutes walk and the historic centre 10 minutes away. 
The pool and communal areas are fantastic, both allowing you to socialise and have some time to yourself.
Breakfast was one of the best we’ve had and we’ve been going for over 5 months. Never had to wait for it to be replenished and it all tasted so fresh. 

I’ve got to say it was the staff that made it for us. Leo the manager is superb! He was always on hand to answer any questions we had, always asking us how we were, if we needed anything and if he could do anything more. His manner and kindness shines through. The rest of the team were wonderful as well! Couldn’t have asked for much more! 
My one suggestion would be to make sure there are hand towels and soap in all the toilets. 

Overall a wonderful stay that left us reluctant to leave! 

Reluctant to leave - loved it! 

I had a fantastic stay here for 4 nights at the beginning of January. The 4 bed dorms are small but comfortable, with pretty good bathrooms, and the communal areas (including the pool) are really lovely. But the best part of the place is the staff, who are extremely helpful and friendly, and will go out of their way to do things to help you out. They really made me feel very welcome as a solo traveller. I met some brilliant people in this hostel and will absolutely go back if I'm ever in Paraty again.

Great hostel, lovely staff

Location is very good - just 2 min walk to the bus station and the historic town is all between 5 and 15 minutes away.
Staff are really friendly and helpful and have great English.
Hostel isn't too big but has a small lounge and seating area and an ok size pool.
Our room (double) wasn't the best. OK size but was quite basic and tired and uncomfortable pillows. Shower was very good. Air conditioning available but wasn't good at all. The worst was the smell - behind the room there is a small stream which the air conditioning unit is above which I think may be the cause of this. To be fair to the hostel, I didn't mention this until they asked at checkout and they were very apologetic and explained the town is doing something about the sewage problem. 
Breakfast was pretty basic - I'd recommend having a Toaster and butter for Brits / Americans who like toast in the morning, and tea would be great too. 

Laid back hostel with friendly staff 

Excellent location - just around the corner from the main bus station and less than ten minute walk from the historical centre. 24 hour reception which also adds to the convenience. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I would stay here again.
