    The room was amazing, it felt like being in an old castle. The bed was very comfortable and the room was very clean. The view from the window was unique. The location is excellent, located in the heart of old town, next to the old cathedral. There were many nice bars and restaurants nearby, as well as shops. The main street was only a few minutes in walking distance. The staff is great, very friendly and polite. Special thanks to Joao and Tatiana, for the exceptional hospitality and very kind behaviour!

    The bathroom was not as new as in the pictures, so I think it would be good to improve these facilities and leave free shapoo in the showers for people.

    The location could not have been better to walk to wherever you wanted to go as the hostel was only two metres away from the old cathedral, saving you a lot of time getting from one place to another. Also, the staff was very friendly and healpful in everything you needed during your stay. To conclude, the room was very spacious and well equipped.

    Everything was good.

    The location was great; right in the center and close to the University. Our room was very clean and it had everything we needed. Even though the bathrooms were on a different floor and they were gym-like, we didn't have to wait to take a shower or anything. The staff was friendly and we could leave our bags for a couple of hours after we checked out.

    The location is perfect . The owner was so kind to actually help find a spot for my car nearby. Everyone was so friendly. The feel of the place is luxurious, much above than what I was expecting. The university and all museums are very close

    The room needs to be updated. My door would not close unless I slammed it. Every night droves of university students linger in the square below shouting, singing and disturbing.

    The facility is clean and cosy, the bathrooms new and functional. The staff was very friendly and helpful in solving any problems. The environment was nice and refined in details.

    There were no windows in our room which was a bit claustrophobic. and the children’s bunk beds were in a room that backed onto a hallway and the only thing between them and the hallway were some wooden double doors. It was very noisy. They didn’t sleep very well and were tired both days..Next we will make sure to pick the right room.

    The location was excellent and the building was amazing. Our bed was very comfortable. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

    It’s an old building, so you hear your neighbours easily. But it didn’t disturb us.

    The location couldn’t be better! It’s a very nice old building with lots of history and the staff is amazingly nice. Rooms are spacious and clean.

    Many of the sinks in the bathroom were not working. The wifi was adequate overall, though it was difficult sometimes to access from within some of the rooms.

    This hostel is wonderful overall. The staff are exceptionally nice and helpful. The building inside is beautiful and has a very interesting history to it. The beds are quite comfortable. The location is perfect and I loved being able to eat breakfast with views of the cathedral right out front. The bathrooms and showers were spacious.
