It's hard to imagine my time in Pinhão without Hostel Douro Backpackers. Pedro and Sara worked tirelessly to provide a warm welcome from literally the moment you walked in. Pedro's welcome drink and presentation provided all essential information including a map to local hikes, restaurant suggestions, and local must-dos. A lovely terrace garden full of orange and lemon trees provided a private oasis, especially in the afternoon sun. The location is conveniently located, but also a bit off from the main tourist center. Also, the hostel was perhaps the cleanest I have ever stayed, and it offered well beyond what I expected based on Booking.

The hosts were exceptional in every way. I especially liked how Pedro gave me maps with places to hike, to eat, to experience wine tastings, etc. The hostel k was exceptional with a kitchen, tables for eating, a refrigerator for guests. On the upper level of the hostel is a wonderful terrace with tables, a beverage refrigerator, a clothes washing space and a garden. A great place to socialize with the hotel hosts and guests. I’ve stayed at a lot of hostels in Portugal and Spain. I rate this as my number one hostel stay.

When I arrived, I was welcomed by the owners straight away and I immediately felt at ease. Pedro recommended all the nice places in the area and sent me some hiking trails which were beautiful. Everything was super clean and especially the terrace and garden were beautiful.

In Douro Backpackers you feel that the staff has had all the experiences of backpacking themselves and turned it into the very best practice you can imagine. We felt more than welcome from the very moment we opened the door until the heartfelt goodbye. It is the perfect location to meet up with other travellers, the roofterrace and the breakfastroom are ideal spots for this purpose. We never in our whole lifes (which are pretty long, with lots of travelling) have never come across a place like this. Go there and see for yourselves!

I really enjoyed my stay at the Hostel. Pedro and Sara are great hosts. They make you feel as a part of their family. Pedro also provided several recommendations on restaurants and hiking in the Pinhao valley and helped with booking wine tastings. The rooms are very clean and well maintained. The hostel also has a beautiful terrace garden with nice views. I highly recommend this place and look forward to visit them again.
