Reviewed Sep 2, 2026Location was great, the manager of the place was super nice and helpful. Place had to offer discounts in the places around, which was truly useful.
It was super hot, no air conditioning. We were living in individual room, which is in the second floor. There were just two windows, it hardly helped:( Also, there is this crazy cat of neighbours which scared the shit out of me, i hated that this cat was freely walking all around the house and trust me saying that it was not friendly at all.

Reviewed Aug 29, 2026We stayed in the upstairs loft with King bed. Location was perfect. No parking at the hotel but about 5-7min walk away there is a parking lot. Convenience of a washer/dryer with fridge and kitchenette in the unit. Discount at restaurant and ice cream shop. Staff was really kind and available. The room was very soundproof, it was quiet at night. There is no AC but the nights are cool so with both windows open and the fan we were very comfortable at night.
The room has slanted ceilings so for my partner who is 6ft it wasn't the most convenient. The bathroom is quite small and did not have soap in the shower but it was clean. The bed and pillows could be more comfortable but we understand the comfort level is not the same as a 5 star hotel. The windows in the room are small so you can't really have outside views.

Gonçalo and his colleague were such nice and helpful hosts and always went the extra mile for us to feel comfortable. I can only recommend the place! The beds are super comfy, there is full privacy thanks to the blinds and the roof top terrace is very cute too!
Nothing, everything was absolutely perfect! Even when there was a water disruption because of some street works, Gonçalo made sure we stayed comfortably and organized some water even though it was out of his control!

Reviewed May 20, 2026De locatie is super! Midden in het centrum. Je kan rondom de hostel gratis parkeren, maar je moet wel parkeerplaats zoeken in de smalle straatjes van Ericeira. Super vriendelijk personeel! Je hebt geen sleutel nodig, maar enkel de code. Er is een gedeeld terras aanwezig. Privé keuken en badkamer waren compact, maar zeker voldoende.
Schuine daken, maar niet overal. Voor ons was dit geen probleem, maar misschien wel voor grote mensen. Er is geen airco aanwezig. Wel een ventilator en je kan de ruiten open zetten. Wij gingen midden mei en het was perfect qua temperatuur.

Man konnte auch gut arbeiten von dort und ich war einfach sehr froh dieses Hostel gewählt zu haben. Die Lage war einfach ein Traum, perfekt fußläufig alles erreichbar!
Leider war die Küche nur ausgestattet mit einem Wasserkocher, Mikrowelle und Kühlschrank. Also fürs Essen musste man kreativ werden, wenn man nicht jeden Tag essen gehen will. Handtücher bei den Waschbecken und Küche fürs schnelle Händewaschen wäre ganz nett. Man hatte zwar ausreichend Platz im Schrank unterm Bett, jedoch bissl umständlich da Sache zu lagern für nen langen Aufenthalt! Aber alles nur Kritik auf sehr hohem Niveau!! Mir hat’s sehr gefallen

Reviewed Apr 9, 2026Schöne Kapseln mit durchdachten Ablagemöglichkeiten. Insgesamt ein kleines, ruhiges Hostel. Sehr ordentlich und aufgeräumt. Sehr netter Empfang. Super Lage!
Das Hostel ist sehr klein. Es gibt keinen wirklichen Bereich im Haus, in dem man mit mehreren Menschen sitzen kann. Bei einem 8er-Dorm und weiteren Doppelzimmern ist das etwas schwierig. Die Küche lädt nur bedingt dazu ein, Essen zuzubereiten (sehr klein, kein Herd, kein größerer Tisch). Die Armatur in den Duschen sollte dringend erneuert werden, da sich die Temperatur t.w. nicht verstellen lässt und das Wasser sehr heiß ist.
