Nothing really

The location involved a steep gradient walk - that was probably the only snag. Otherwise it was decently signposted. Breakfast was satisfying ( I loved the fresh oranges juicing them ), the space overall was good, the mattress was fine although my power socket ( bed 10 room 1 ) was unusually placed and a little loose but worked. The place was very clean and felt much like a home. Bruno, Joana & Rosa made it all welcoming for - Joana taught me to use the kitchen stuff properly, I made a pot of steamed rice 😃 🌾 🍲, Rosa met me in the morning once I picked up my key from somewhere upon advancing my ID as I was arriving around 1:30am 😀 when nobody was around & Bruno let me stay for a while after checking out and called a cab to the Guimarães railway station ( €1.60 call fee & €4 for the distance & time ) - I headed towards Aveiro using my CP 72hr Tourist Card for Urban trains Urbanos. The Restaurant Penguin / 🇵🇹 Ristaurante Pinguim was right opposite where I could see it from the hostel's TV / Computer room desks and a good POI for GPS & cabs in order to find the place.

Bedroom smelt a bit, matrace seems old enough to be replaced.

Very cozy, like as you would live in Guimarães. Hosts were super nice. The bathroom was super clean and nice. I enjoyed the kitchen and living room. Extraordinary breakfast.

The basement felt slightly damp due to the humidity. That is not the fault of the host, as it has been very rainy - and they did supply a dehumidifier. Just something to be aware of for people who are sensitive to things like that!

The host/staff was wonderful - so knowledgeable about the area and lovely to chat with. Breakfast was simple but delicious and very convenient to have on-site. We loved that our dog could join us as well. The space we stayed in was clean, spacious, and comfortable. Overall, a truly lovely stay and we will definitely be returning!

Great stay! Joana was super friendly, she gave us good tips on the city tourist attractions. Our bedroom was super clean and spacious, quiet night. The common areas have everything you need, very spacious. And a nice breakfast to start the day ! Definitely a good place to stay, we know where to go if we come back.

We wish the room would have had more comfortable pillows and 2 chairs (one could even be a folding one), since there were 2 of us. When more than one set of guests are using common areas, there is always risk of issues with cleanliness. It was very difficult to find parking and acquire a space. A sign would've helped.

I loved the breakfast foods offered and big kitchen space. Joanna was very helpful, friendly and spoke at least 3 languages.

Towels and shampo are provided by the host, wich is actually amazing! Breakfast is also a huge plus because there's a lot to choose. The dorms are just great, electric plugs are provided and reading lights also. The beds are confortable too. Just go there, enjoy the stay and who knows , you might get to know new people from around the world just like I did!

even if you book a suite you still have to share bathroom and toilet with the other room

basically you can get everywhere within a 10 min walk, super super convenient!! breakfast is great, they fill in the food frequently everything is neat and clean the hostel itself is very beautiful the staff are all nice and friendly strongly recommend! I'd love to visit again!!

Nothing.

Warm and informative welcome. The property has different spaces, kitchen, garden, lounge. Not too far from town, but far enough away to avoid some of the noise of the centre (except the week the town celebrates its patron Saint, then no where is quiet!).

The bed is a bit too soft for me.

This husband-and-wife-run accommodation just feels like home, with spacious living space and kitchen free to use. They sent clear pre check-in instructions in advance and were responsive with messages, and gave detailed information of the sightseeing without prompt at check-in. Cleanliness is spotless. Breakfast is basic but plentiful.

The plumbing was a bit odd - the sink in the studio kitchenette dripped onto the floor and the tap made water explode everywhere! Also, the shower fittings were falling off the shower wall. But, I guess we still just really like the hostel even with this.

We stayed in the studio for 5 days at Easter. We liked that it was open-plan and had private access and faciliites. We really loved the garden area (and so did our dog). The breakfasts were good and the hostel felt like a home stay, really cosy and we had access to the entire kitchen and dining area. Our kid loved the bunk bed in the studio also. The location to town was brilliant - close to everything and all the major sites. The hostel is so comfortable, the staff are great, and it felt like we were visiting good friends. The atmosphere also made it easy to meet the other guests. Just a lovely place!

I loved everything about this place. It was spotless incredibly clean and very well organized. the staffs and owner was very friendly and approachable. The breakfast was great. One of the best place I’ve ever stayed. The room was spacious and the beds were great and comfortable. A great place for families as well. It’s very close to the center as well. We stayed in the two double rooms and loved it. I would most definitely stay in this place again.
