I liked the responsive host, the fast Internet, the kitchen, the location. The showers were very clean. The train station is really around the corner. I felt very good and will book the same place again next time.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Really good facilities, a good kitchen and common areas. Everything was kept clean, staff were nice. Great location for day activities however there is not much to do at night (this has nothing to do with the hostel, just an observation).

    Greatest host I've ever encountered in a hostel, great communication, very welcoming, introduced everyone which really broke this ice with the other guests. House was clean, comfortable, relaxed, secure and safe. Couldn't have asked for more. First totally full marks I've ever given. Even had what an Irish man like me would call tea, a rare treat in Portugal sometimes lol

    Literally the best hostel! Very good location, VERY VERY CLEAN! Kitchen with everything in it. There are storage lockers (but bring your locket with you, if you don’t have one there is a Chinese store near by). Antonio is the best, so welcoming and helpful. Overall we had a great time :D
