Possibly one of the best hostels I've ever been to. The location is amazing, it's very quiet and sooo clean! The beds were very comfortable which is important to me and the hostel had this wonderful garden where you can chill at. The staff was also very helpful and very welcoming. I loved every second of being here :)

Good communication upfront for check-in and check-out instructions. All rules and information you need during your stay are clearly signposted and labeled where you expected to be. Someone has really thought through and put an effort into this to make your stay as easy as possible. The guesthouse is located nearby the old town and city center with restaurants, supermarkets etc. all in walking distance. An easy 15min walk and you are down at the beach. A kitchen with everything you need to prepare your own meals, free coffee, tea and other treats. Room was spacious with a comfortable bed and a wardrobe to put your stuff in. Everything was clean and well maintained. Very good WiFi. Definitely, I will stay here again next time I'm in town.

First of all a very nice host and easily reachable with good communication. We were three people who booked dorms in the hostel and only two people checked in. One of us had to stay back due to the personal documents being stolen back in Spain and couldn't travel to Portugal. So we informed the staff by message and they were really generous in cancelling the booking for three people and making it for two saving us the money. Thank you for the lovely stay. The dorms and toilets were clean. A relaxing stay and would highly recommend for everyone to stay. The location is also great and the people are also nice. Would surely come back.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.
