    The sound isolation isn't perfect, but we didn't mind, it didn't affect our stay, because everything else was great.

    Place is only 2 minutes from the ocean, with the most beautiful sunsets. Everything was clean, kitchen was fully equipped, the personnel was great. I would definetly return to this place. :)

    Some toilets are smelling bad even after cleaning. Also some showers are so clogged that you can’t shower without paying attention for not flooding the bathroom. And there are stains on the walls and bedsheets from killed mosquitos.

    The employees have been very friendly and the location is awesome! Very chill atmosphere!

    Nice place, great hotel, bad roommates & the hostel rooms are lacking a lot of basic hostel items.
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Bunk Bed in Mixed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 6 nights

    Dudes that shared the room was an Indian dude that snored louder than a lion's roar. They had a sleep apnea machine, then another dude came in and snored just as loud if not louder. He was there my entire stay XC. They snored and stayed there the entire week I was there XO. Snorers should have their own room. Like never has sleeping at a hostel been so uncomfortable. When I mentioned it, they said they didn't have any extra rooms (which was true because a bunch of kids came in from a school and had the rooms). While passable, the rooms can be exponentially improved for cheap by making a few small changes. It was hard to sleep. Also, most hostels usually have privacy curtains around each of the beds, this one did not. Consequently, people can watch you while you sleep. Also, each of the beds did not have plugs, so you had to find one and plug your electronics in out of view and other people could take them if they wanted. Another issue that I found was that the hostel was lacking is that usually each of the beds in hostels usually have personal wall mounted mini tables and personal lamps inside them to hold personal items. This hostel did not. The curtains prevent the lamp lights from being seen by the other beds. Also, they could be a bit more organized with the locker keys, because they didn't know which keys went with which locker. They should develop a labelling system for this.

    It was a very nice clean hotel and location, beautiful clean beach, interesting area when I explored. Excellent for exercising. Also, the kitchen and building was beautiful and clean. Very beautiful intelligent helpful receptionists as well :D Portugal is a beautiful country with an excellent underlying infrastructure in that area.

    The building is old, so noise comes through from other rooms.

    Great location, and an accommodating manager who gave us another (bigger) room (at no extra cost) to be away from the sounds coming from the lower reception area.

    It is very noisy at night, the rooms should be sound proof, you can hear literally anything, from people talking at the reception, slamming doors or simply having a shower. A real shame, because the hostel itself it is very good.

    Great location, clean, good size rooms.

    Localisation: 24-hour tickets on white transportation cards do not work on this side of the river. If you do not know that and do not have the prepaid ticket, you will pay extra for the bus tickets to the driver.

    Very nice hostel in the proximity of the beach. Great surf schools nearby.

    Given Caparica is famous for surfing, the place unfortunately lacks the style and vibe of a surfing hostel.

    Literally steps away from the beach. Great terrace with amazing views over Caparica.

    The locks to the front gate and front door were broken so it wasn't the most secure, but the area felt very safe and I'm sure this is being fixed. We ran out of clean towels but we should have requested more. The walls aren't very sound proof so neighbours might keep you up if you're trying to get an early sleep to surf in the morning.

    Beautiful building and location with all the amenities you need and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend to anyone planning a surf stay at Costa da Caparica who is looking for comfortable but social accommodation.

    One fridge in the kitchen for all the guests. Got locked out of the room with no phone one night and slept in the lobby because there was no staff

    Went there to surf. Came for a week, stayed for a month. Loved the town. The hostel is clean, has a big kitchen to cook in, places to hang around, and a nice pool in season. There are some great parties even in winter.

    Only one thing, the matress... Two single matresses put together to make a double bed usually don't work that well, but in this case you could even feel the springs inside the matress pushing in some places... Extremely happy with our stay overall, but the matress was not comfortable at all.

    The employees are very friendly and helpfull, the shared bathroom/kitchen and all it's facilities are amazing. Every day roomservice changed the sheets and towels, very good value for money!

    When I arrived there were no towels in my room and no control for the AC - so I wasn’t able to shower and couldn’t use the AC (which I had paid extra for). There was also a party being hosted one floor down and it was so loud I couldn’t sleep even with ear plugs. Had I paid hostel rates, I would have expected this - but for the rate I was charged for my room I was very disappointed. ☹️

    The location was great and the staff were very friendly.

    - This hostel definitely has a mold problem and we felt that it was not clean (e.g. towels or bedding) ! When we arrived, we had extensive black mold around the window. The staff tried to find a new room, but we didn't know what was happening for 40 minutes, because nobody was informing us. We then got another, bigger room but even there we later discovered mold, also in the bathroom. The elevator also stank of mold. - We also felt that the towels and bedding were not fresh, they had a musty smell, so we had to leave the hostel after one night, even though we paid for 2 nights. We did not even use the shower because of that. - The bed and the pillows were hard/not comfortable

    - It's central/very close to the beach - The staff was eager to help - There was a modern common kitchen
