The hostel went above and beyond to take me to the hospital as I had an ear infection. The staff were great. The old historic house also had a lot of character

“Cozy hostel within the historical center”
It is a great hostal. The owners are so friendly and I am immediately felt at home. The beds are comfortable and I got a towel for free. The location is just great (5-10 minutes to many attractions). There is water for free and it is very clean.

“Wonderful people in a wonderful place.”
The staff were extremely friendly and encouraged us to practice our terrible Portuguese. The kitchen had everything we needed and communal areas were comfortable. The location is wonderful with beautiful views and an astounding dawn chorus every morning from the local bird life (assisted by the city’s cachorros!)

“Great hostel in an authentic historical house”
The hostel is close to a bakery and some small markets, it was easy to pick different things for breakfast every day. The location was quite good and we were able to visit every place we wanted to go by foot. The attendants were nice, and we even went out together sometimes.
