to get started.

Pedro and John at the reception were wonderful - so welcoming and very helpful. The room and the common areas were beautifully decorated and clean and I am so thankful for the maid who keeps everything so clean and found my jacket I left behind for me to pick up after I checked out. The location is also amazing with a view of the national palace!

An Inside Look at Moon Hill Hostel

The Moon Hill Hostel is a project born about 3 years ago, in 2011. Our concept is to grant our guests with all the comfort needed to really enjoy our magical villa that is Sintra. We have a really cozy room, a kitchen you can cook and a patio to relax and read. However, while there’s any ray of sunlight left, we will advice you to get up from the couch or the chair you’re sitting on and to go visit the magnificent palaces in the region (and we have many), the castle, the parks, the beaches, all that surrounds our small villa and creates this unique environment. In the Moon Hill Hostel you can also enjoy our restaurant Caldo Entornado. So hope you’ll be looking forward to come here and visit us. We definitely are!

“I would not recommend this hostel on account of the shower not working correctly.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 2 nights
My daughter and I booked 2 nights. The first morning we discovered that our shower had no warm water. We thought we might not be operating it correctly so we asked the desk person to come up and show us how it works. When she tried it out, there was no warm water. This was on a Saturday morning. She said that since this was a weekend, there was no one for her to call to get it fixed. She told us that we could use one of the communal showers but those showers were in a different building (meaning we'd have to go outside to and from the shower). I was given a 20% refund because of the shower that didn't work. I paid for and really wanted and expected a private shower!
The hostel was very clean and stylish.

the doors open the opposite way than normal, I couldn't get in for a while, there was no one at the desk. But, apparently, the doors are open and you need to come in and ring a bell for them to come to you

“Nice design hostel - needs some maintenance. ”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 4 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
There was a bad smell in the dorm, communal bathroom across the hall and kitchen - I had to buy air freshener. No hand soap in any bathrooms. Dish soap in kitchen was in an evian bottle. Free breakfast was white bread cereal dominant; no brown bread or cereals; no vegan options. One morning breakfast was late opening, we often had to chase for items. No recycling facilities in kitchen (maybe Sintra doesn't recycle, not sure). Fridge had mouldy food in it so doesn't seem to be cleared out regularly. No hot water from bathroom tap and the shower took a long time to heat up (also it's a push button type).
Very aesthetically designed so shame it's not maintained as well as it could be. Reception staff showed me around on arrival which doesn't usually happen in hostels and was helpful. There was fruit at breakfast. Lockers under bunks which was tidy and convenient for guests to access. Great location close to everything.

The breakfast did not really have any options. There was one bread, one jam, one sort of meat and cheese as well as fruits. No lactose or dairy free milk - so no way for me to make some cereal.
The room was very small for 4 people but clean and fresh. The bathroom as clean as well but also quite small. The Hostel has a great location and the stuff was very friendly.
