  • Shared bathrooms in many rooms — All dorms and some private rooms have shared bathroom facilities, which may not suit everyone.
  • No pets allowed — The hostel does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.

“The staff were fantastic – friendly and always ready to help. The location is unbeatable, right in the city centre and close to the metro. Rooms were spacious and clean, with incredible views. The kitchen and outdoor areas are great, and the common room is one of the best I've seen – free computers and even free food sometimes. Staff also speak Portuguese if you need it.”
