    La chica de recepción fue muy amable y nos atendió correctamente cuando le explicamos lo sucedido. La experiencia fue pésima. Después de la primera noche, mi hermano apareció con decenas de picaduras y por la noche encontramos varias chinches vivas en la cama. Tuvimos que abandonar el alojamiento sobre las 2 de la madrugada, acompañados de un niño de 7 años que quedó muy asustado por la situación. Al día siguiente, al llegar a España, tuvimos que llevarlo al médico por la reacción a las picaduras, le dieron antihistamínicos y corticoides por la gravedad. La propia dirección confirmó posteriormente que había chinches en la habitación y que tuvieron que realizar una desinfestación urgente. Solicitamos el reembolso de sólo la noche que no usamos, pero se negaron a devolvernos el dinero y únicamente ofrecieron un vale para volver a alojarnos allí. No recomiendo este alojamiento. Considero especialmente grave que, después de una situación así, la solución ofrecida sea simplemente intentar que volvamos a utilizar sus instalaciones.

Vibe Analysis

A modernist building sits in a quiet, green area near Ovar, with trees around it and a simple youth-hostel setup. It can work best as a low-key base with a car, especially for Furadouro beach, Ovar, nearby walking or cycling, and a calm night outside the town center. The upside is practical: friendly staff, quick communication, free parking, generally clean spaces, and breakfast included. Some rooms are spacious, and a few have balconies, wardrobes, desks or chairs. Mattresses can be comfortable, and the place has an outdoor pool when it is usable. This is not a polished social hostel. The building is visibly old, with recurring maintenance problems across rooms, corridors, bathrooms, doors, beds, showers, floors, walls, humidity, and sound insulation. The vibe seems more like a basic stopover with potential than a lively hangout.
