    Whoever made the beds in women’s dorms seems to really hate the guests 😆 Its almost impossible to get on top of the bunk bed without hurting yourself, even for someone who enjoys climbing. I left with a couple of bruises because of the beds construction and the freakin’ „ladder”. Kitchen could be bigger and more guest friendly, it was difficult to find even a simple cup there. It was also a bit smelly because of stored old food.

    The hostel is located by the ocean, with a beautiful view and just few minutes away by walk from Ariffana Beach. The atmosphere is friendly and chill, there is a bunch of common spaces and evening activities which helps to meet people. Its a big hostel, but well maintained with many bathrooms and cozy corners ;) It was a very pleasant place to get back to after a long trek by the coast. Wagner from the reception and cafe was very friendly and welcoming. And he also put on great music which made the stay even nicer :)

    I didn't like the beds frame. When I was climbing the stairs the top piece of agglomerate wood almost broke. If I had not let it go I would have broke it and fallen on my back.

    The infrastructure is quite impressive. It has many common areas in which you can make yourself comfortable. I really enjoyed the terrace and the inside area for working and chilling. The coffee, burger and chicken salad are spot on.

    No A.C. but the breeze was nice when the window was open and the ceiling fan was key for us not to overheat.

    The location was great! Clean facilities & overall seems like a great vibe.

    Fancy hostel- nice rooftop space to look out over the bay, and a small pool etc. Beautiful artwork in the stairwell made of recycled rubbish found in the sea. Well equipped kitchen, comfy and clean bedrooms. Excellent Brazilian acoustic trio played one night. Short walk down to Arrifana beach which is stunning. Recommend walking the Costa Vicentina north from here. Stunning coastal views on the way to Praia de Monte Clerigo.

    The hostel is under renovation, there were no kitchen facilities and no bar or anywhere to get food or drink. We were there during a storm, but the outside facilities looked like they would be lovely in good weather.

    The room was spacious with a good shower and over all bathroom facilities. Beds were comfy, we had a lovely view to the sea.

    The shared kitchen was not clean and did not have a hot pot. There was a microwave, a stove top with pans available & a shared refrigerator. No coffee or hot pot in room.

    The locatuon is great with ocean views right on the Fisherman’s trail. The rooms were spacious & clean, the beds comfortable, the shower strong and hot. We had great ocean views from our room. The breakfast buffet was great - it cost 10€ if not included in rm. We ate at the restaurant for supper. The menu is small but it had some vegetarian options for us. There is a nice patio area and a full bar. There is also a small pool but we didn't use it.There is a shared kitchen with a refrigerator but it was not very clean.
