Joeri Netherlands

Super close to everything - old town, shops, and restaurants. The staff were so lovely! Very helpful, super sweet and always smiling! The whole building was very clean, and the kitchen was huge and very well equipped. I would definitely stay again!

Christina Canada

Very cozy and beautifully decorated hostel with spacious private rooms. Everything was clean and as pictured. The big kitchen was great. Location was perfect to get around comfortably by foot. You got all the essentials throughout the hostel. Joana and her husband are very kind and hospitable people! Would definitely stay here again!!!

Eva-maria Germany

Fantastic value hostel very close to the castle and palace in Guimarães. Very friendly staff to give you recommendations for restaurants or tourist advice. We stayed for one night which is enough to see the town. If you want to explore further afield then suggest a longer stay. We had the studio which was huge, sleeps 6/7 in total with a small kitchen and seating / dining area. The breakfast was excellent, very tasty croissants , bread, tea coffee and yoghurt etc. It’s a 15 min walk from the station on cobbles and up and down hills - I would recommend and €4 Uber or taxi. Good value for money overall for one night.

Greg United Kingdom

Excellent place. Fantastic value for money. Really friendly and knowledgeable staff. Very good breakfast. Close to the town centre.

Neil United Kingdom

Beautiful hostel, prepared for families. Amazing breakfast, very comfortable bed and warm room which was perfect for winter. Would have loved to stay more as the hostel was great.

Jaione Spain

Very friendly personnel. Clean room. Good location close the center and castle.

Jaroslav Czech Republic

this is the 2nd time I stayed there, both times the same double room. the location is great and pretty central, easy to reach everywhere in the centre on foot. Amazing staff, very helpful and friendly. Heating was very welcome :) Considering the price, the fact they also serve a personalised breakfast is a super nice bonus!

Carmen Germany

Breakfast was simply amazing and so was the price! It felt cozy and like home. The Host was super friendly, could have talked to her for a long time :) Thank you!
