The establishment is clean and well kept. I stayed for one night. There are 6 beds in each room and there is a little cabinet by each bed where you can store a back pack. I appreciate that they try to spread the guests over multiple rooms when they are not overbooked, so even though there were several guests staying, I shared the room with only one other person.
I appreciate that there's an option to book an all-female room. There are security cameras as well, I felt safe and have no complaints.
It is the most beautiful property I’ve stayed in throughout my 2 weeks in Portugal. There’s even a lift! Bed is comfortable, bathroom is clean and spacious. Communal areas are beautiful. The male receptionist is super helpful and friendly.
I highly recommend this property.
While this spotless hostel in a beautifully renovated 16th century building offers 50 bunks, we scheduled the private suite with bathroom (which included a lovely terrace). It was a bargain for a very special spot (with breakfast). Light-filled, quiet, and centrally-located, it was one of our favorite lodgings in five weeks in Portugal. Staff was attentive and gave good advice about parking. (We lucked out and found a spot in the central area nearby, free from 2 pm Saturday until 8 am Monday morning. Only residents can park on the interior streets.) Great stay -- and we'd do it again.
