HI Aveiro - Pousada de Juventude

Looked great online, fell short in person. Room slept 6 but had only one shared key, no lockers in rooms, so the room stayed unlocked whenever anyone was inside, no way to secure your things while others came and went. Luggage room key left at reception, so no real privacy there either. No buzzer for entry, had to phone a number instead, risky if your phone dies. No fan/AC, tiny window. A friend got covered in bed bug bites after 3 nights. Staff were kind, breakfast decent. Wouldn't return!

We really enjoyed our stay at HI Aveiro. The staff were very attentive and helpful and our room was very clean. The only problems we had was it was quite hot without a fan and the window didn’t open much. There was also a lot of mosquitoes in the room, it could have done with a mosquito net on the window. There was also very limited cooking facilities, just a small room with a fridge and microwave with not sink or kettle. The breakfast that was included was very good indeed!

I really liked the hostel better than I expected 💖💖💖
