No staff when I arrived at the hostel. Hadn’t received any emails or WhatsApp messages explaining how to get into the building. Waited about 1h. A hostel guest helped me, got in contact & showed me my bed and door codes. Still no staff around.

Owner was super nice and helped me with everything I needed. Terrace is an amazing view too. It’s super close to everything which means it’s a bit loud as well but mainly just on the weekend.

Foi bom, não acho que apenas duas casas de banho sejam suficientes para tantas pessoas mas essas duas casa de banho estavam sempre limpas e mesmo sendo apenas duas dá para sobreviver. O quarto era bom, a cama era confortável, os panos eram limpos e o ambiente era ótimo e em momento algum me senti desprotegida mesmo indo sozinha. Recomendo a todos!!

Absolutely amazing, me and my friend loved it here, the lady at reception was so lovely and gave many recommendations, we felt super safe and met some great people there. It is also based in a perfect area really near the beach and is also slightly secluded

there was no worker there for the check-in when i came. I had to wait outside cause the code they texted me for the door didn’t work and they were not answering the phone. Someone from the cleaning team ended up opening me the door, but i couldn’t get access to my locker until later at night.

Die Lage ist definitiv top. Das Hostel hat keine Rezeption, was eigentlich kein Problem ist, solange man auch den Code, den man braucht, um ins Hostel zu gelangen, zugesendet bekommt (was leider bei mir nicht der Fall war). In Sachen Sicherheit habe ich leider viel zu bemängeln, weil die Zimmer selber für jeden zugänglich sind. insofern macht es fast auch keinen Sinn ein rein weibliches Zimmer zu wählen, weil sowieso auch die Gäste anderer Zimmer zu jeder Zeit dieses Zimmer betreten kö...

the room wasn’t very clean and there were ants in the bathroom. The shower in the room wasn’t working and it was extremely loud all night because of the bars around the area (this should have been mentioned before)

Que dire, Deuxième étape de mon raod trip. Surprise à mon arrivée,réception fermée ( compréhensible hors saison c’était au mois de novembre 2024 ) Un numéro de téléphone sur la porte 5 minutes après on m'a fourni le code d’accès de la porte. Du coup je me suis retrouvé seul dans l'auberge mais avec une vue magnifique en plein cœur de Portimao sur la plage. Merci a vous de l'auberge de m'avoir fourni le code d’accès.

Loved this place! It’s got everything a traveler needs: comfy beds, clean bathrooms, and a welcoming atmosphere. The common spaces are perfect for socializing, and the staff goes above and beyond to make sure you have a great stay. I’ll definitely be back!

Cleanliness is poor, plus the showers are terribly designed therefore the bathroom floor is always wet. You’ll get a lot of noise from the clubs as they’re around the corner. The lockers are poor quality also, therefore you can open them without key.

Booked a room with an en-suite and the shower was not working for my stay. Room was clean, not any socializing opportunities with others in hostel outside of rooms. It looked like there was a camera in the corner of our room near the door. Location was good but would not stay here again.

Très bel hostel avec un emplacement en plein centre-ville. La plage à 1 min à pied et le roof top est super! Très propre comme hostel excepté les douches qui manquent un peu d'entretien. Je recommande vivement! :)
