The locatuon is great with ocean views right on the Fisherman’s trail. The rooms were spacious & clean, the beds comfortable, the shower strong and hot. We had great ocean views from our room. The breakfast buffet was great - it cost 10€ if not included in rm. We ate at the restaurant for supper. The menu is small but it had some vegetarian options for us. There is a nice patio area and a full bar. There is also a small pool but we didn't use it.There is a shared kitchen with a refrigerator but it was not very clean.

The shared kitchen was not clean and did not have a hot pot. There was a microwave, a stove top with pans available & a shared refrigerator. No coffee or hot pot in room.

This place is 100% Relaxed, laid back, chilled, right from being met by the staff. We brought our Cockapoo so had a double room and private bathroom, it was south facing with huge glass windows facing the pool, terrace and superb views of the sea and beautiful sunset, however had to keep the curtains closed to keep the heat out. We didn’t encounter noise at night. The room was larger than we expected, quite an old bathroom but powerful shower, shower gel/shampoo, small bar of soap and it was clean. The A/C and Wifi was great, comfy soft bed and pillows, mini-fridge in room ( no kettle). The Pet Policy is just as relaxed with a few local dogs strolling in and out of the garden/patio. Beer & wine cheap and we tried a couple of their speciality burgers and fries which were very tasty and great value. The local surfing beach is 10 minute walk ( downbank 😎) and worth a visit. Lots of free parking but go early. A few restaurants also close to the beach and only a 5 minute drive to the local town Aljazer - lots of free parking and some nice cafe’s and bars. We really enjoyed our 2 night stay and would revisit.

only a small point - there was a Venetian blind for the huge window but the tapes had broken so it could not be pulled down.

Great location, a short walk to the beach and restaurants nearby. Staff were lovely. Person who check us in was very kind. Beautiful set-up of the coworking space. Parking in the back was nice to have. The bed we had was very comfortable and the ac worked well. Loved the room we had, (room #1 I believe) in the building beside the hostel (still was able to use the amenities), had 2 sets of patio doors so loved using the side one and felt we had great privacy there. Walked right out onto the 2nd pool too which was lovely. Water pressure was excellent. We had breakfast included in our stay and it was a good spread, warm croissants, buns, cheese, meat, salad, mini muffins, yogurt with toppings, bread with butter & Nutella, eggs, turkey bacon, juice, fruit.

The drains in the bathroom smell awful, had to keep the door closed at all times but being in there was not fun. Wish the eggs were attended to a bit more as I only got the last bits and tried waiting for more with no luck.

The location was perfect, amazing view from the balcony. Coffee tasted great! The breakfast was super. They have a bar downstairs where you can have burgers, snacks and drinks. Everything tasted great. Beds were comfortable and the room was clean.

The windows were not soundproof, so whenever there were people talking outside until the late hours, we could hear everything perfectly. If you are looking for a quiet place, be aware that there are a lot of young surfers around all the time. Our room was next to some kind of kitchen ventilator, which caused consistent noise in our room. The room door didn't lock properly so when we left the room, you could actually open it without the keycard. When we went to sleep, we weren't sure if the door was locked or not.

The room was beautiful: in stead of one wall there was one big window with the view on the see. We enjoyed the happy hour in the restaurant (2 for 1) for drinks. We would definitely come back and use the co-working facility to work for some time from this amazing place. The staff was very pleasant.

The door lock was damaged and couldn’t be locked from inside. But it was not a big problem, the lady from the staff was very willing to help with this issue. But in spite of this problem, we didn’t feel insecure during the night. But it should be repaired.

I like the design inside , plenty of creative artwork, our room was very spacious with a wonderful ocean view, really nice common areas with comfortable lounges and there was a real heater in the room, priceless at this time of year.

Staff in this hostel is hopeless, totally unreliable, non smiling and couldn't care less about their customers.Breakfast was supposed to be at 8 a.m, the chef arrived about 20 min later without a good morning or sorry so we could eat only at 8.45 .The receptionist Diogo is equally unreliable with transfers , we made arrangments with him for the next morning and he didn't show up and wasn't answering his phone.

Very good breakfast, comprehensive with fresh fruit, covering both American and continental breakfast items. The burgers here are also the best value for dinner around the area - the town centre is far away and there are no grocery stores around the area but this area is also where you have no choice to stop at if hiking the fisherman's trail, or wanting to surf at the beach. You can get water from the bar at less than it costs at other restaurants near the beach. The hostel decor is pretty nice too, and there's a pool which I didn't use but it's appreciated.

we had a double room with sea view which was really nice. the bed was super comfy as well. the restaurant has amazing burgers (the beetroot burger was one of the best I’ve ever had!) and for a fair price. the happy hour is a great vibe in the common area most nights as well, and you can play pool or ping pong! the staff are all really kind too :)

maybe because it’s a chain? but it’s rare that hostels don’t have a shared kitchen for public use (in Europe at least). we paid €10 for access to the staff kitchen, which was a good option for us as long term travellers who can’t justify to eat out every night. i can see why they don’t open this kitchen up to everyone though, as it’s really tiny and the appliances are a little old. a larger, better equipped, communal kitchen is the final piece imo that would make this place perfect :)

Fun atmosphere, friendly staff, very close to the beach. Bar which serves food and drinks, they had a Dj on Saturday night. Surf rentals were available, and you had your own lockers in the bedrooms. Good sized bedrooms with enough floor space. Lots of hikes you could do from the hostel

Travelling from Aljezur to Arrifana was difficult. The wait for Uber was very long, would recommend pre booking a taxi as there is no public transport to the hostel. No grocery store near the hostel so you would need a car, or stock up on food in Aljezur before going.

Very close to the beach with amazing view from the large roof terrace. Very surf friendly. The staff is amazing and helpful. They also have a bar/restaurant with amazing staff, music, drinks and food.

Only way to get drinking water is to buy from the bar, so its a bit expensive. There is a kitchen for staff and longterm guest, but its very simple and a bit underequipped. Also, there is no dining room or lounge for guests, only the bar and coworking space. This place is kind of far from basic shops, so bring the essentials unless you have a car. Enjoy your stay! 😊🌴💦
