About

Our Hostel is the first one in Peniche and it has been recognized by Lonely Planet and The Guardian.uk as one of the most charismatic hostels in the world. According to our guests the hostel is most often described as a home away from home.

It's a place for backpackers, surfers, people travelling alone or in small groups. The hostel is cozy and small with only 2 private rooms and 2 dorms with 4 beds. The hostel has 2 shared bathrooms. The common area gathers the guests in the evenings to socialize, cook together, play boardgames,& puzzles and to play guitar.

The hostel is located in the heart of Peniche within a short walking distance away from the bus station as well as from all the awesome local restaurants. We are located within 10min walk away from the Gamboa beach where you can sunbathe and surf. We also work with a surfschool that comes to pick up from the hostel to the best surf spots in town. There are lessons available from beginner to advanced surfers in a small group setting.

Come enjoy your holiday with calm, relaxed and authentic atmosphere. Soon you realize that it feels like a home away from home.

Very cute hostel! My main complaint is there wasn’t an all female room, which I thought wasn’t a big deal, but when I got there i realized I was the only woman staying at the hostel at all, and it seems like the staff leaves when they aren’t checking people in in the afternoon. So I was basically staying in an (adorable,well decorated) alone with a bunch of dudes. Had no problems, but I was a little nervous going to bed as this was my first solo trip.

The private room was great. Agree with other users - this feels more like a shared home than hostel. I look for a safe, clean bed, near where i wanna be and this was all three
