It was clean and staffs were friendly. You can have a private space by pulling the curtain. The shower rooms were inside the ladies only area so no need to worry about bumping into boys after shower. One bath towel was provided, no shampoos or soap.the place was convenient, you can get there directly by taking a tram. However, the district was deserted at night although there is a cafe at the near corner.

I had a great stay at this hostel. The front desk staff, especially Diogo, was incredibly friendly and helpful – truly an excellent employee who made the experience even better. The hostel itself is clean, safe, and well-maintained. There are enough shower facilities for everyone, which is always a plus. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a affordable and welcoming stay.
