    Unbeatable location and really comfortable beds. It's wonderful to be able to enjoy the garden and the pool. Everything is taken care of with great care, from the facilities to the breakfast! I would also like to highlight the staff who were super friendly.

    Good,.modern, clean showers. Some don't hat warm water early morning like 6.00a.m. unfortunately you loose to much cold water til you get a warm shower..it's a pity because of serious water problems in Portugal and so many tourists. So maybe the director can find a way that he don't loose clean water..nice working space, but people talk laud with their meetings online like they would be completely alone in an office in the coworking space..nothing for people.who can't concentrate well. Bit of you beg them to talk more quiet most try to handle it to work fine together.

    Calming, relaxed atmosphere, a bit quiet music sometimes, nice yoga lesson at 9.00 a.m.with a good teacher from.spain.in the morning. Most of the people try to be quiet in the 4 or 6 people's bedroom. I feel really fine here and prefere a hostel like this instead staying in a hotel. Really friendly and helpful staff at the reception, cleaning, yoga. I'm 57 and feel like home here, because travelling like this most of the time in my life. All young travellers are really ,,taff", friendly open minded and respectful with others. Open doors , noone take something from others, it's a kind of ,,trusting each other" atmosphere. Really nice here.

    A beautiful place in an amazing town!! One of the best hostels I have ever stayed in. Great people, facilities and a great vibe. Beds were comfy and the hostel was quiet enough at night to get a good sleep too. The facilities/ bathrooms were all kept clean and staff were always on hand if I had any questions. Would definitely stay here again if I am back in Sagres.

    The ONLY thing I didn’t like was how far it was from the beach. Like a 20 minute walk. But honestly not too bad and I would stay here again for sure

    It was beautiful, so comfortable, amazing people, amazing food and drink offered, they were so helpful with everything

    friendly surf hostel
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Bed in 4-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room

    This is primarily a surf hostel, although I am told increasingly they also get walkers for Rota Vicentina like me. So the guest population overall is quite young and I probably raised the age average by a few years. However, the team were very welcoming, and are really committed to make you feel comfortable. They do barbecues for everyone most nights and a pizza night with an external partner on Wednesdays, and there's a well-attended free yoga class on the rooftop each morning. Very good and usable kitchen.

    The breakfast in the morning sun is amazing. The shared kitchen and the bathroom are super clean at any time of the day. Even though the hostel is fully booked there are enought showers and bathrooms available so you don’t have to wait at any time. If you want to relax after surf the pool cools you down while you have a beer at the bar. The staff and the guests made this holiday amazing! If you have to work remotely there are several quiet places with good wifi where you can have your business calls.

    The people working there weren't very friendly, everyone kept to themselves, would say hi if you walked past, but nothing further than that. It was a very weird atmosphere. Wouldn't be great for solo travellers unless there happened to be a good group of guests staying, but potential to be so good! Also location wise is quite a far walk from all the main places!

    The facilities of the hostel were great, such an amazing set up, all super modern and clean. The hostel itself makes an effort for social activities which would've been great (if everyone got involved). The room itself was a bit small but the beds had their own power points and curtains which made it much better

    A great experience. The staff was super friendly and very helpful, they recommended places to visit and different restaurants. Everything was very clean and tidy, the room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. One of the things I liked the most was the fact that the other guests were very friendly, talkative and open to making plans, which is important when travelling alone! I will definitely repeat and recommend it to my friends as I can't imagine a better place to stay while visiting Sagres.

    the only thing i could recommend is putting up hooks on sides of bunks. would be a great addition. they’re is a bunch of empty space there.

    Amazing property. Really great socialize area by the pool with a bar, tables, lounging comfy stuff with free blankets. free yoga on roof in morning. great staff. clean facilities. the separated facilities are brand new! and best pizza i’ve ever had at all you can eat pizza. Also everyone was so social and get along really well.
