Best hostel stay ever!!!

Hands down the best hostel stay of my life. Carmo at the Reception desk was so lovely and welcoming and helpful. Her English is perfect as is her positive attitude. The room was top notch: featherbeds and the best shower: very hot water and it was strong enough to massage my Pilgrim (backpacking sore) shoulders. I had a blast in the common dining room with several fellow Caminho compatriots and at the delicious and abundant “breakfast included”. Thank you, Carmo! You are a Caminho angel! If I could give 10 stars I would!

Extremamente qualificados.

A minha estadia correu lindamente. Um excelente serviço, pessoal muito atencioso, uma boa organização, pousada com boas condições. Os quartos deveriam ter ventilação, ar condicionado ou ventoinhas, pois são muito quentes. As camas deveriam ser melhores, com colchões confortáveis. As casas de banho são excelentes, o espaço dos quartos também. As varanda são excelentes e a paisagem que se vê também. A pousada está situada num local fantástico, perto do centro.Servem um bom pequeno almoço. Ficamos extremamente satisfeitos.
