Spacious rooms, nice location. Questionable staff.. I kept asking questions she didn’t know the answer to and would say “I just work here”… yes um that’s the point you should know about your place of work? Definitely not the nicest hostel I’ve stayed in and the extra fees are kinda crazy (bring cash) but the location is worth it and each room has its own bathroom and kitchen which aren’t nice but they get the job done.

Horrible stay • ❌ No English spoken → every request turned into stress with computer typing • 💶 Cash only, no card option • 🕑 Check-in lie: not 2–7pm but 2–5pm, later +€10 • 🧳 Storage scam: promised till 5pm, cut to 1pm last minute! • 😠 Staff impatient with Portuguese, clueless, wasted 1h with chaos • 🚿 Towels rough, shower swings boiling–freezing • 🏠 Feels like a messy family house, not a hostel
