The hostel is in a very central location, close to everything. It is basically a cosy house converted to a hostel -- has a nice big kitchen, ground floor terrace and rooftop terrace, so a lot of space to hangout and meet people. The staff were super friendly and helpful, I truly felt welcomed. Other travelers were very nice as well. The place was clean, and well taken care of, even if some things felt somewhat old and water pressure wasn't the best.

However, I have to leave a bit of a lower score as on the 1st night in the mixed dorm I was quite badly bitten. I talked about it in the morning with the staff and apparently they have had a bed bug problem before and thought it was solved. I am aware that it is extremely difficult to get rid of them, but it was still a very unpleasant surprise... The staff were very kind to me and offered to stay in a private room for the rest of my trip, gave me some aloe vera for the bites, and washed all my clothes. All in all everything was fine and I was not bitten anymore. This experience has still impacted my trip though, and even though I enjoyed the hostel vibe I am not sure if I would come back.

Very comfortable and homey. Easy to mix with other guests.

wee cat was lovely. great terrace. very clean. rooms not too cramped , enough space . shutters on the windows. curtains round the bed. lock included.

Everything, especially the ambiance and general feel of the place. The staff are all lovely and helpful. The place is spotless and thoroughly cleaned regularly. Well equipped kitchen and enough seating areas around the hostel.

Very Nice and cosy hostel. Close to the nice streets and restaurants. There was quite a bit of noise from the streets in de evening/night. I slept in the woman 4 dorm at the street site. The hostel is a kind of old, but things function. I will recommend the hostel, mostly because of the nice vibe

The bathroom facilities,

Staff is amazing, helped me even when was fully booked. Feels like a home, the rooftop, patio and kitchen are great spaces to rest and socialize with others. Made us sangeria every night, have umbrella and stuff you can borrow for the beach. Very clean and beds are comfortable. Very recommended if you're looking for a place to relax at the end of the day and not a party hostel.

The location is great and very central. The accommodation is comfortable, the staff are all lovely and so helpful. Great relaxed atmosphere!

Great atmosphere, lovely host. The hostel feels super cozy

The rooms are a bit small, but because it f the whole lovely and relaxed atmosphere it wasn’t that bad

I loved EVERYTHING. From the moment I walked in, I loved it. There were chilled out beats playing, the hostel is the most beautiful house with gorgeous outside space both on the ground floor and roof, to hang out with other guests. Claudia, the owner, has really thought of everything to make your stay here wonderful. It also seems to attract really lovely backpackers, and I was genuinely sorry to leave them and Olive Hostel. I have been travelling for a fair while now, short trips and really long stints, and this is honestly one of the best hostel experiences I've had.

Nothing. It was perfect.

Very friendly staff, family like

Small room

Great location and super helpful host. It was a very welcoming place and makes you feel right at home. Overall, amazing place to stay.

My room faced the street and it was a bit noising in the evening, but didn’t last all night. It was also a Saturday so that was to be expected.

Good atmosphere, nice and helpful staff, beautiful rooftop, free sangria and Vivaldi the cat!

Although the hostel is well located and not right in the center but close, there are a couple of bars on the street and it can be very loud at night.

Well located in the Old Town, near beaches, shopping, eating places and groceries. Owner/manager lives on the upper flour of the building and was frequently onsite. Friendly helpful staff. Kitchen was well equipped. Some public areas had open ceilings ensuring fresh air.

Minimal amount of street noise might bother some people with rooms facing the street (I'll sleep through virtually anything and have never been bothered by street noise. Certainly not more noise than I'd at home.

Very nice and relaxed hostel

The staff were lovely and very accomodating. The location is also excellent with multiple beaches and the town centre very close by. The hostel itself has a lovely homely feel with nice common areas. It's easy to make friends if you're travelling alone. It's very clean and well kept.

Unfortunately, there are not enough shower facilities for the number of people at the hostel. Every time I tried to have a shower I would have people knocking on the door asking to use the facilities. An outdoor shower for people to wash sand off might help this. Also the hostel allows guests which might be a plus for some but dont be surprised if you are woken up by "activities".

Super beautiful and cozy. Amazing staff.

Nothing not to like!

The best hing is the amazing vibe there! you feel so welcome there. an amazing cozy house, nice rooms an outstanding friendly staff. Claudia, the owner is amazing. Thank you for everything! Beijinhos
