    • Bed in 5-Bed Female Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    In the top room in all girls dorm room-- please supply small reading / small lamps per each bedside... because it was difficult to see inside room at night / daytime while window curtain is closed --when some guests sleeping... but I wanted my own lamp to have a little light by my bed so I could move around/ unpack or read.

    Cute lemon decor, cozy rooms, clean, fFelt very welcome & relaxed vibe; walking distance to town center/ marina.

    Can't think of anything I didn't like.

    I liked the friendly staff, the big room and comfortable bed, the clean bathroom, the well-equipped and clean kitchen, the attributes to make some basic breakfast, the little details like the lovely Valentine sweets, the silence and the good location, close to all activities. Really felt at home.

    Some street noise and could hear every time someone entered building through a door below room. Ensuite bathroom was in need of renewal, and shower was cramped for space. The curtain didn’t really prevent water from getting everywhere.

    Decent sized room. Having a private balcony was amazing. External shutters ensured the room stayed dark. Lots of storage space. Bread and cereal left in the kitchen all day - we bought extra ingredients like yoghurt and fruit to bulk out for breakfast. Very close to Paula Rego museum.

    Close to a common bathroom and therefore one can hear noise every one uses this bathroom. In general, one can hear neighbours pretty well

    Perfect location close to the sea and historical city, the room is big and bright so it’s very comfortable and cozy to spend time there as well as having afternoon at the sunny balcony

    10/10 hostel - it's very cozy and comfortable, the staff were friendly, the sunny terrace is nice, the location is good (easily walk to town), the free coffee and cookies, and it was overall very clean. I was pleasantly surprised by how spacious the room was, and how comfortable the beds. Thank you so much, I would definitely stay here again

    Kind of Family stay at Cascais

    • Solo traveler

    Stairs. I have 2 cervical prothesis, so an elevator would be perfect!

    The gemini houses are so cosy, I felt like being at my family’s! Super traditional Portuguese beds, bathroom, everything super comfortable! Had a great night sleep there. Staff is super kind and they buy bread and coffee for the guests. This builds a strong integration amongst guests, that follow the kind example and bring it to other domains. The houses are connected by an outdoor area, with sofas and chairs to chat or simply read a book. To reach the center city, a 9 minute walk is enough, while wandering through my favorite part of Cascais: the residential one. With luggage, guests can easily call a taxi or Uber.

    Only one bathroom near the bedroom, but generally not a problem as there were two others in the other part of the building.

    Great hostel, very nice atmosphere in the female dorm with clean nice sheets, towels provided and lockers.

    We stayed in double room with shared bathroom, so the room was sweet and cosy, the bed was extremly confortable, bathroom was clean, common areas were fantastic, what can we expect more? Yeah the lovely kitchen, we used only for free coffees but I realised the last day they had a dishwasher machine! wonderfull, The lady in the front door Mariana was friendly and focused on guest satisfaction, she was replying to our questions patiently and advising solutions.. We wished to stay more there because this hostel made us feel like guest and not like customer and we definitely loved Cascais and Sintra which were better matching with our expectations than Lisbon :)
