Set in the Fortaleza City Centre district in Fortaleza, 900 metres from Praia de Iracema beach, Hostel Dragão do Mar Fortaleza features a barbecue and sun terrace.

Hostel Dragão do Mar Fortaleza features free WiFi throughout the property.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here, mostly thanks to the incredible team of people running the hostel. Jade is a talented, hard working entrepreneur, as are Lucas and his lovely sister (whose name I wrote down but since lost! Thayssa?) The laid back, welcoming staff and the equally friendly guests (all Brazilians while I was here), made the atmosphere quite pleasant. The kitchen was well equipped, everything was kept clean, and the WiFi worked consistently. The space is a bit of a squeeze on the busier nights, but it was nice to have a bed with a curtain, a locker and a consequent sense of privacy. The air conditioner running all night was quite a comfy luxury (a necessity in hot Fortaleza!) Just across the plaza from the hostel, you can visit the cool cultural center Dragao do Mar to catch an artsy film, or go to the library (also mercifully air conditioned: nice to sit and read rather than walk around in the ninety degree afternoon!) You can walk about eighteen more minutes and be at the popular Iracema beach, great for people watching. The area seems to be safe for strolling before it gets really late, I generally felt safe all over Fortaleza but always keeping an eye out. There are many shops, restaurants and other ammenities nearby, and I highly recommend a vegetarian restaurant about fifteen minutes from here called Centro Cultural Annapurna: it is honestly the best restaurant meal I`ve had in Brazil (all you can eat lunch for twenty six reais!)
