    It felt very like student accommodation, very IKEA furnishings so not as much atmosphere as other old buildings we’ve stayed in with the same company (HI Pousada de Juventude).

    The air con was great in the bedroom, everything was very clean and tidy.

    It was way too crowded. Every room was jammed as a school group or 40 was visiting who hogged the entire breakfast room for almost an hour. Very simple breakfast. Small lockers. Usual variety of weirdos that hostels attract. No privacy curtains in bunks

    Clean Good showers Good location Sound proof and AC. Pleasant outdoor area and lots of gathering places Paid laundry machines.

    The worst point is the wifi! You cannot get connected to it, and if you get connected, it is very weak. The breakfast was very normal, and the bad point is that if you come late, you will miss some parts of the breakfast because they do not charge it, as I saw!

    It is a good place for a one- or two-night stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the place was nice and safe. The best point is that they have 24-hour check-in This place is mainly suitable for the student tours.

    There are no bedside lights, the options are all the lights on or nothing. To operate the lights in the room you utilise your room card and this powers the lights, But if you need to take your card with you all the lights go off even with other people in the room. The bathroom doors are very noisy when they open and shut. The wifi didn’t work for me.

    It was perfect for a 1 night stay, there are 8 beds in each room but it is broken into 4 beds on each side of a partition wall. They provide towels, a lockable locker and each room has its own bathroom. A simple breakfast is also included in the price.

    Small things bothered me. At breakfast there was only one type of bread and the drinks at the breakfast table didn't taste so good. In the room, there was no place to put my coats and other clothes. Also, hot water did not come immediately in the shower. I am sensitive to cold, and I felt sligthly cold in the room despite changing air condition.

    Great place for a short stay. I slept really well. A very clean room, and a friendly staff! They took care for everything I needed. Thank you!

    All good.

    It is a youth center/hostel but when I went it there were many young families and very nice atmosphere. Not many young adults bring loud (young adults yes but they were not loud). Thursday night early January. My reviews are based on price/value.

    The breakfast could be better. Noise during the night can hinder your rest, as the door to the room does not properly isolate the noise coming from the hallway.

    Spacious room, clean and modern. Good value for the price.

    The room was big with king size bed. The dinner at their cafeteria was good and reasonably priced

    A bit noisy from the street when the window is opened. No space in the fridge for personal food-it was totally full.

    Friendliness of staff, nice facilities-especially the green space in the back of the hostel. Clean rooms with space for clothing. Lockers for the important personal items.
