Absolutely exceptional an amazing place! Ingenious location, spacious tidy rooms, great breakfasts... But the best thing? Diego & Big Mamma, amazing, cheeerful, attentive and open-hearted guys, who make this place so very special. Trust me, you couldn't wish for better host! To sum up, the 18St. Hostel is far the best hostel I've ever been to and I can't wait to come back! P.S.: If you're into surfing or wanna learn it you'll love this place even more...

The apartment was spacious, stylish and very well equipped with everything you could need, including beach equipment. The owner was very helpful. The location was ideal, short walks to the beach, train station and restaurants. Espinho has a great sandy beach for surfing and swimming though the Atlantic sea can be rough. It's easy to take trips by train to Porto and Aveiro etc. Or walk along the boardwalk to neighbouring towns.

I like the heated pool, the sauna and turkish bath. Due to unpredicatable weather you won’t waste your time as pool is open early and closes late. Also the staff permitted us for an early check in which helped a lot since my mother needed to rest. Room very clean, shower is very good, beds are of good quality, very white sheets and new fragrant and fresh towels! Thank you Praiagolfe for the nice stay!!!

We had a nice and warm welcome by Katia, who is a very kind and helpfull host. The apartment is spacious and clean. You have to be close friends (and not to big) to share the beds, they are good but rather small. The neigbourhood is nice, 10 minutes to walk to the beach and shops directly around you. The apartment is a little tired and sounds from neighbours and from the street are easy to hear.

The location was brilliant for a holiday in Espinho. Easy walk to the beach and town. A massive supermarket 2 minutes walk. Lots of restaurants walking distance. The staff in the hotel were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We had 2 rooms next to each other (family with teenagers) that worked really well. Lovely pool area that never got busy so always beds available.

It's interesting for such a quiet place. It was a major sardine canning town and prosperous - now it is tourism. Good beach - exposed and there are rollers. Surfers like it there. The lady at the hotel is lovely - very artistic with a lot of her work around. Breakfast all round the same table with a few different nationalities.

Immaculately clean, very spacious private terrace. Center of the Lisbon is only 20 minutes by train. Train station is right in front of the hotel. You can leave your car at the nearby parking lot for 1.5 euro a day. Friendly hotel stuff, good breakfast. Lady at the cafeteria was wonderful and she makes very delicious coffee.

Everything. The host was so polite and helpful. The room was beautiful and the added bonus of having the communal kitchen was brilliant. The train directly into Porto is approximately 500 metres away such an easy scenic trip and very cheap. I would highly recommend this guesthouse and would not hesitate to book again .

The staff was great and caring. The room was absolutely clean. Nice design and decoration. 30 seconds to ocean!! The best breakfast I have ever had even compared to 4 star hotels. The food in their restaurant was also delicious.

Great value for money if one is needing a quick stay in the Espinho region and has a car to reach the Hostel. Staff is very attentive and helpful. Facilities were clean and even the breakfast is basic but includes tea and coffee.

The property is lovely and very well located for Espinho, the beaches and is well served by local restaurants, shops, cafés and petrol station. Great access to motorway into Oporto and beyond.
