room was super nice, the owner super nice!

It smelled like mould, guess the owner can't do much about that (they've tried I believe with an air purifier. It was too cold for my wife. The small heating does not warm up enough.

Great price, atmosphere, wonderful traditional old house. Beautiful, very cosy. Great host and great communication.

There is an earthly smell in the room. Some people might like that but not all. The bathroom was shared between multiple rooms. so it would be great to have more than 1 baths

The place was unique and nice. It has all the basic things you need. The host is very helpful and nice. He is available when needed.

The guesthouse is very cute and in a nice quiet area that has a few nice cafe's and restaurants. There's a very comfortable bathroom and a fridge where you can store some food. Jorge was very kind and helpful 😊

Georges was an excellent and amiable host. Fantastic location on the edge o the city centre that afforded good access without dealing with the crowds.

Only really provided small towels, some bigger bath towels would have been great!

Really comfortable, old fashioned hostel in a great location in Sintra. Was also space on the road to park, and a large free public car park nearby. Jorge the owner was great and extremely helpful.

The heater was not working well, and the room was very cold. It was a bit uncomfortable to sleep during the night.

Short walk distance from cafes and restaurants. Clean room and clean WC.

I have no negative comment about my stay at the hostel.

The facility is homely and a welcome oasis out of Sintra central. Very clean and the owner Jorge is welcoming and helpful if needed. It is only 25 minutes walk from the centre.

It was a very hot night and a fan would have been helpful.

very cool place to stay with so much character.

Nothing!

It is a quiet small home hostel (so no bunk rooms), with a few restaurants nearby, and the Pena Palace is about a 30 minute walk. Jorges was very helpful.

The hostel was really cosy, clean and taken care, and you have good cafeteria and restaurants in the neighbourhood. We highly recommend. We visited two Castles and the historical centre walking (about 20 minutes each). Also, Jorge is a nice host.

The only thing I could comment on is that there was a musty smell in my room. But I am very sensitive to smells

Everything was as described by other reviews. Older building but charming rooms.

Location could be tricky if you are not driving, it's not too far from a few attractions, but the road is very narrow and busy.

The place is quite comfy and clean.

great quaint place to stay with nice views

We heard all the noises through the room's walls. Also there was smoked inside so the smell was little bit everywhere. Also bed was noisy.

Hostel was clean and cute.

Small make shift kitchen, but I have to admit we didn’t need to use it.

Spacious room. Even though the bathroom was shared it was very clean. Plenty of towels and opportunity to hang up stuff. Super nice host.

There is the smell of moisture in the first floor and it's better to have the windows open.

The duvet was really fantastic 😀

Stayed in July 2022

had to have cold showers as we only realized the next morning there was apparently a switch in the kitchen you had to press to turn on the hot water

gorgeous place, felt very authentic. big comfortable bed, owner was the cutest thing ever.

Stayed in July 2022

Maybe fix the second shower? I believe it was just somethin circumstantial and there was nothing wrong with the hostel

The decor, the house is like a little museum, it's very cute, our bedroom had art books and a lot o decor and explanation about it. The bathroom was really comfy and very clean, the house overall was very clean and the host was really kind. The bathrooms were clean and there was hot water and clean towels. I really enjoyed our stay

This hostel is a museum! Very comfy.

Quirky and cozy. Host was very accommodating. Well placed if you are looking for a less busy side of town

Walls were a little thin (I heard the girls next door using a hair drier for what seemed like hours). The place is a long walk up a steep hill from the train station in Sintra, but the flipside is that you're away from the noise of "downtown." (All of Sintra gets very quiet after 6:30, though.)

Jorge was a great guy. Very comfortable bed in a cozy room. Zero traffic noise outside! Felt like staying in a real old Portuguese house with character and history, not a spiffy boutique hotel. Very safe neighborhood.

I didn't get proper wifi in the room since it was a floor away from the router, although there was a repeater it didn't look like it was working properly. I'm sure that the host will fix that though, he looked rather worried about that.

The host was very nice, the room was very comfortable and clean. I managed to work in the hostel, which was my main concern since I was traveling in work.

It was a bit cold - but this is completely out of the hostels control.

Small Sintra Hostel is perfect if you are looking for an authentic experience. The rooms are very cute and it felt like home. It is a bit of a walk from all the attractions. I walked to the historic center in the morning for breakfast and walked to the attractions. Then after a long day, I would get a ride back to the hostel which was super easy to find a ride. The rooms are large and very clean.
