Super organizado, tranquilo e respeitoso. Silêncio absoluto após 10pm e extremamente limpo. Vista incrível das montanhas e do mar durante todo o dia e nascer do Sol de tirar o fôlego.

"Great location, homely little hostel"

9.0

Amazing location, convenient to city, beach, mountain views and intercity bus stops. Really nice shared indoor/outdoor spaces within the property too. A lot more homely than the pictures suggest (seem to be rather outdated)

Not much security for your belongings, but the place is pretty small and everyone was pretty respectful so I wasn't worried.
