Can’t get better than this. Felt welcome and included the second I stepped in. The best dorm beds ever, so cozy and so loving atmosphere. The best hostel I’ve ever stayed at, and I’ve stayed in many great ones. Thanks for Stefan, Sophie and Pedro for the stay, and special love to Picasso 🥰

Loved our stay at Loving Strangers! Pedro and Stefan are incredible hosts who made us feel right at home. The vibe was warm, the energy was great, and everyone we met was so kind. They cooked a full traditional Portuguese family dinner, we did a pizza night, and finished it off with a bonfire. The beds are super comfy, bunks have full blackout curtains, plus there’s a gym, full kitchen, coworking space, and breakfast included. Genuinely one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at. Highly rec
