Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Breakfast is basic — Although included, the breakfast is simple—cereals, toast, tea/coffee, and jam—rather than a spread. It's enough to start the day but not a highlight.
  • No pets allowed — The hostel does not accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if traveling with an animal.
  • Check-in window ends at 23:30 — While reception is 24/7, check-in is only available from 15:00 to 23:30. If you arrive later, you may need to coordinate in advance.

“Fantastic location in the old city, just minutes from São Bento station. The building's design is excellent, inside and out. My room was light, clean, and spacious for four. The en-suite bathroom was comfortable and spotless. Even though it faced a busy street, there was no noise with windows closed. Breakfast was basic but fine—cereals, tea/coffee, toast, and jam. Highly recommend.”
