Calm, spacious and clean place. Nice lounge areas and a pool. Amazing view over the ocean! Staff was very friendly and helpful. Very luxurious for a hostel.
NetherlandsLocation (although a bit noisy from the street), pool. For a youth hostel its ok, and good value.
HungaryVery good youth hostel. Lot of equipment (leaving rooms, kitchen, swimming pool). Cleaning is done everyday. Check in and out are easy as there is always someone at the reception.
IndonesiaIncredibly clean and tidy. Staff very friendly. Rooms basic but exremly comfortable. Great pool . And large common room. Overall one of the best hostels I've stayed in
PortugalThis is a good location if coming by ferry - no need for a ride into the centre of Vila do Porto. Facilities look recently renovated so all new furniture in rooms and bathroom facilities are nice. There is outside terrace with a private pool over looking the hills. There is also a cafe & bar inside
CanadaHostel is situated close to the ferry terminal, not far away from the city centre. You don't need to take a taxi if you come by ferry. If your luggage is not so heavy you can go up the hill by a steep road (about 10 minutes on foot). The hostel is on the top. Very helpful staff, swimming pool and cleanness are the advantage of the hostel. Bus stop is opposite the hostel, if you want to visit island by bus (it is not easy, buses are rather rare). Breakfast is base (roll, cheese, ham, jam, coffee and tea) but sufficent. If you want you can order scrambled eggs with bacon or without) (1-2 EUR), but you must do it in 24 hour advance in the reception. Beautiful view from the hotel
