Boas-Vindas & especially Tiago & Fatima will hold a very special place in my heart. They are always smiling and not the extra mile, but many many miles more to do whatever it takes to make the guest smile. They are extremely empathetic to solve all your troubles. May God Bless Them At All Times, till Eternity, AMEN

    Warm welcome and introduction from host. Very well equipped - even had a teapot! Great location only a minute from the square but not noisy in the small hours. No air conditioning but plenty of fans. Window shutters and mosquitoe screens make it feel safe.

    The best hostel ever! I loved it here, so I extended my stay for another 5 days! Cris and all the other staff are so friendly. I felt at home immediately :-) I‘ll definitely come back for sure! Had the best time here! Perfect for people who travel alone and want to meet new people from all ober the world :-) The rooftop is amazing, as well as the food there. All the dorms have AC (much needed during the hot summer months).
