Maybe the standard for hostels has improved since I last stayed in one in the mid-2000s, but I was blown away by this hostel. I was in a dorm of 6 women and it was lovely, with a city view from the balcony. The location is perfect for all the sights. The whole hostel was incredibly clean, and the checkin was straightforward and easy. The breakfast was an actual breakfast with a variety of fruit, cereals, breads, meat, cheese, and eggs. Nicer than many HOTEL breakfasts I've had. The staff was friendly and helpful and the building itself is charming. I appreciated the locked boxes for each bed and that the beds were assigned. The nicest hostel I've ever been in and it was only 15 euro/night.

Great place with amazing location and even better staff. Everyone was friendly, extremely helpful and welcoming which you'd expect in Portugal but they really go the extra mile to make you feel at home. The room was good and the location is second to none as you can explore the city from there and have excellent transport system in a 2 minute walk in case you'd like to see the surroundings. Breakfast was really good with plenty of fresh food everyday. Not a single dissapointment!

Catarina is a treasure. It was nice meeting Diogo, the owner. The staff were very helpful. Detailed information was given about arrival and check out. A great stay. Thank you all. Location is good, and the value is good. I specifically requested two quiet rooms and they definitely delivered. Thank you for that!!! We arrived late at night and Catarina was able to recommend to us an inexpensive and delicious restaurant nearby (Pregar, I think).

The location is good and the view is awesome. However, the wall is too thin, so you can hear everything from other rooms. My room was in front of the restroom, so I heard everything while other people are using bathroom. Common areas are open only 7:30am-11pm, that was inconvenient. TV is needed in the private room. The WiFi is never strong enough. Common areas are too small.

First time using a hostel which is very popular in Europe and very affordable. Two person room had enough space with private bathroom. Breakfast was provided by hostel which was a great touch. The room had a balcony that was connected to the other neighboring rooms where smoking was allowed (having the balcony was nice, but little space and only view of neighboring roofs, and wasn't a fan of having adjacent balconies connected).

Clean and modern
Clean rooms, modern establishment, great location and friendly helpful staff. I stayed in a single room with shared bathroom for two nights. The room and bathroom were both very well kept and clean. If you´re a light sleeper, consider bringing earplugs because you can hear the cars passing by and other hotel guests when they´re accessing the shared bathroom. The free breakfast was a nice offer, but if you like breakfast, it isn´t worth taking- more like a continental breakfast with some bread and fresh fruit.
