Offering shared dormitories and private rooms a 2-minute walk from Guimarães’ city centre, My Hostel features a terrace with a seating area, and garden views. Guimarães Castle is a 10-minute walk.

Location is simply perfect. It is 1 minute by the old city center, 6-10 minutes by the university, 10 minutes by the castle. Everything was super clean and forniture is modern and beautiful. We haven't actually tried the breakfast (you can book it the evening before), but seeing the others it is a reach breakfast for low price. I worked remotely from the hostel and passed almost all the day there, and I really felt at home

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location less than 20 min walk to the castles, and make your way down to the oldest part of town. Rental location offers laundry at a reasonable price. Apartments are newly renovated, and well equipped kitchen with pots and pans. Beds were very comfortable, and working heat and a/within the unit. Apartment was very clean , and small outdoor garden area was very nice. Very reasonably priced underground parking close by. Grocery store within 10 min walk.Would return to stay at this location.

    Everything was just excellent, couldn't have asked for more. Spotlessly clean, amazing buffet breakfast for such cheap price, comfy mattresses, safe, spacious and warm dorm, super quiet, historical building in the town centre, so easy to find. Great showers, vast communal areas, welcoming and helpful lady at the reception who gave me a map and lots of info about Guimaraes. Had a perfect stay and will definitely go again.
