    It was very clean, calm, close to the beach and in the heart of the city. I met a lot of friends in the hostel and enjoyed my time! People who manage hostel is also very friendly and nice! 😊

    The Hostel like a Nest. Perfect for a deep sleep

    Is not that I don't like, I accepted that this is the place. I would like to have a garden and more space to stay outside. The place has a roof mini small terrace, very small. And also the kitchen is small and you canot cook, but for me it was good, I didn't want to cook. That's it.

    The Sleep is the Best!!!! You really feel that you Rest. Is quiet, is clean, is intimate, the matrice is good. You are in the center, but in a quiet place, because the small restaurant under close early. The stuff is very very very helpful and I appreciate this kindness and helpfulness a lot. I really recommend. Is my first hostel experience and I am content. 🤗🫶🙏

    Very low ceilings though, so be weary if you’re tall. Parking was a bit sketchy as was driving around.

    Stayed in the upstairs apartment, was really tidy and clean. Had cooking facilities so was able to cook meals which was great. Location was excellent, walking distance everywhere.

    Maybe not the best place if you are looking for company, but apart this everything is perfect.

    Everything was perfect, clean and the best place close to the center according to parking and cafes- restaurants.

    It would be nice to have cooking facilities and a common space (but they have a nice terrace that one could use for socialising).

    It is a beautiful hostel! It is super clean, close to the ocean and the beds are sooo comfortable. It is really great to have some privacy during sleep. The staff was super friendly.

    Great place for a couple of nights in the heart of Ericeira

    If I'd have to say something, it would be that the hostel does not really have a common/social area where guests can chill or do something on their computer, nor is it possible to cook. So all the social contacts are usually in the dorm. Though I understand that it is due to the small size of the hostel, I would've been happy to know that beforehand.

    Friendly Staff, great capsule style bedroom with big comfy matress, a lot of privacy due to the curtains, great locker beneath bed. It was alway very tidy, and guests are asked to leave their shoes at the front door. Location pretty much perfect, everything is in walking distance.

    Clean, nice bathrooms, and shower with good pressure. The beds are comfortable, and very cool to have wall plugs near the bed to charge your phone/laptop. Amazing staff very helpful, Gonçalo showed me the best surf spots and if you need a surf buddy, he is available! The terrace if very nice to read a book at the end of the day.

    There isn't much communal areas to hang out. Only a small terrace and then a very small kitchen area. A bigger fridge would be nice.

    The place is in a great location, dorm room was nice with the blackout roller blinds on each bed enabling you to have your own space and shutoff from the rest of the room when necessary. Comfortable beds too.

    A bit expensive for a hostel but maybe that's because I booked last minute.

    Great hostel. Super clean, black-out curtains on beds for privacy, thoughtful design with bedside tables and lights in the beds. Felt more like a hotel than a hostel. super central location

    I really enjoyed my stay, though if I have to mention something maybe was the lack of an extended shared common indoor area (there is a kitchenette though the space is quite small in there), anyway it's very well compensated by an extremely nice terrace on the rooftop where people can chill :)

    I loved the concept of bunked capsule beds and really appreciate the host (Gonzalo), super nice person, very friendly and sharing a lot of useful information about Ericeira. The location is also great.

    I stumbled when going down the stairs due to the unevenness of the floor at the entrance and hurt my knee quite badly.

    The hostel is close to city centre and the beach.

    Adding a cooktop and making the terrace more comfortable and inviting would be a great improvement.

    I loved the concept of a small hostel, where people are always together and interacting. The showers have one of the smartest designs I've seen in a hostel. The lockers are very spacious. Lots of good points, I'd definitely stay again.
