The hostel manager, Gonzalo, is a very pleasant and polite guy! The hostel is clean, fresh, and beautifully maintained. I needed to leave my luggage somewhere for a few hours after the check-out time, and they allowed me to do so. It was a huge help—thank you so much!

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    It was a huge bonus to have a private bathroom in a hostel/backpackers environment. The bed was comfortable and there was ample pillows and blankets provided. It felt secure and safe and was a hop and skip away from the train station and buses. All in all a really lovely stay.

    Lovely private room in the hostel, clean, safe, with an amazing host. Great kitchen, dining room and roof terrace. The shared bathroom was a little annoying just because of the number of users needing one room, but I knew what I was signing up for from the beginning. The location is wonderful not far from the train station, with a supermarket on the nearby street and only a 20 min walk to Sintra old town. Would absolutely stay again.

    Really good facilities, a good kitchen and common areas. Everything was kept clean, staff were nice. Great location for day activities however there is not much to do at night (this has nothing to do with the hostel, just an observation).

    Greatest host I've ever encountered in a hostel, great communication, very welcoming, introduced everyone which really broke this ice with the other guests. House was clean, comfortable, relaxed, secure and safe. Couldn't have asked for more. First totally full marks I've ever given. Even had what an Irish man like me would call tea, a rare treat in Portugal sometimes lol

    The owner was very nice. I had a smooth checkin and also got inputs about the nearby places to visit. This was the best hostel i have been to so far in terms of cleanliness.

    Really comfortable, old fashioned hostel in a great location in Sintra. Was also space on the road to park, and a large free public car park nearby. Jorge the owner was great and extremely helpful.
