    Liked : I really appreciate they allowed me to check in before midday after my long trip from Cadiz, Spain, by bus! The place is spotless in every way, it's close to the enchanting old city and its historic attractions. It's also a nice and short walk from the bus station.

  • AlexeyIsrael · Oct 30, 2024 8Very good

    Liked : The room was pretty small, but it was clean and comfortable. WiFi worked great, the showers worked well. The service was friendly. There was a common kitchen that you can use.

    Disliked : Listing says free parking, but the street didn't have parking available. I parked at the paid parking lot nearby for a day.

    Decent hostel in the city center.

    Liked : Self checkin was easy. Location is wonderful. Large common areas.

    Disliked : Thin walls, so other guests were loud. Snack machine appears to be out of order. Furniture looked and felt cheap and flimsy.

  • AliceUnited States · Jun 1, 2024 10Exceptional

    Liked : Modern, clean, excellent location. Appreciated the espresso coffee. Well equipped kitchen. Wonderful clean linen and big soft towel. Good location.

    Disliked : Hot in upstairs bedroom, no AC. TV non functional. No instructions to use it. No reception person. Outside key box tricky. Pillows too high for neck.
    Not a problem at all.

    this is a great example of what a small hostel can be , a personal expression rather than corporate

    Nice location, comfortable rooms, good breakfast.

    Liked : It's easy to visit Guimaraes with Flixbus from the airport. I highly recommend this hostel for its location. From there its nice to visit the castle and wander the narrow streets full of history. The hostel is clean, rooms are big, and 3.5 € breakfast service is the best start for the day. The hostel was not crowded at all. I felt like a king in a castle during the week. :-)
