Very clean apartment, cheap, good breakfast and kind staff speaking Portugiese, English and Spanish. Free wifi working flawlessly. Free TV, books & chill area. Thanks!

Fabian, Dominican Republic

Staff was very kind and he gave me tips around the city. Breakfast was nice.

Emily, Japan

The place is very clean and tidy. Sanitary facilities were okay. It is relatively quiet, though that might also be because Castelo Branco is not a major tourist town. Although not in the center of town, everything is within walking distance. The staff were really helpful, and they were happy to help you out or recommend places to go to in the area.

Mattheas, Netherlands

Coming from a festival, Boom festival in fact, this hostel was the lap of luxury allowing us that valuable decompression time to become human once more. I slept wonderfully in my bunk bed, waking only to the smell of breakfast wafting through the dorm. Ideal place for boomers and non boomers alike!!

Dylan, United Kingdom

Cheap clean rooms, a breakfast thrown in the mix and toilet facilities that offer much needed privacy in a communal environment

Dylan, United Kingdom

It's a very convenient place for a traveler to spend one or two days. Located in a majestic village it has very friendly and helpful stuff, nutritional breakfast and clean rooms.

Mariia, Russia

It was a bit hard to find at first. But other than that - a very nice, clean hostel. Thanks! Also make sure you visit a meat restaurant next door! It's the best.

The fact that we couldn't use the kitchen. Although they allow us to use the microwave. Breakfast good, but 1 slice of cheese is definitely not enough. Rs

The breakfast was simple, but okay. There were no cooking facilities, but luckily there are many cafés and restaurants in the area. Lockers can only be locked with a larger lock and not with a standard small lock.
The place is very clean and tidy. Sanitary facilities were okay. It is relatively quiet, though that might also be because Castelo Branco is not a major tourist town. Although not in the center of town, everything is within walking distance. The staff were really helpful, and they were happy to help you out or recommend places to go to in the area.
