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.

    Literally the best hostel! Very good location, VERY VERY CLEAN! Kitchen with everything in it. There are storage lockers (but bring your locket with you, if you don’t have one there is a Chinese store near by). Antonio is the best, so welcoming and helpful. Overall we had a great time :D

    Special place surrounded by lots of green. Quiet. With lots of space. A huge garden belongs to the house. Have breakfast on the terrace, overlooking the mountains and Sintra. The house has an 80s youth hostel-hotel charme. 10 min drive to the most western point of continental Europe (cabo da roca) with an excellent restaurant Refugio da Roca; 10 min from Monserrat castle, 15 min from Sintra town center. Fantastic, friendly and helpful staff speaking many languages!
