    A place where you can really feel at home

    Sometimes after they clean all the hostel, it appears a strange smell of old tubes in the hall, but it disappears after a while

    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

    Excellent location. From my seat at Vitoria stadium I was then in bed in 10 minutes, close enough to old town and transport and shopping mall. I also had room to myself which was a nice bonus and Miguel was very nice.

    Beds a bit squeaky. No sound insulation to the other dorm. Fridge items need labelling and clearing out.

    Very homely. Think a couple with a kid live on top floor but I may be wrong. Couple of nice Iranian guys may be staying for a while. Tv with some English language channels.Spacious dorm with portable heater.Comfortable enough mattresses.Quiet location.Outside area.

    Horrible, unpleasant lady, breakfast is a bluff, otherwise could be really good hostel

    1. There is no hair dryer in the room - you must ask for it. 2. Breakfast is a huge bluff!! In the evening they informed us, that there will be pancakes and maybe eggs for breakfast, we also saw pancakes written in the 1st place of the breakfast menu which was placed on the kitchen table and at the reception. Expecting pancakes we paid 3,5 € each for the breakfast. However, in the morning there were NO pancakes, no eggs, NOTHING for breakfast, except some coffee, a bit of milk (not enough for everybody), bread, jam with MOULD, cereals (they tasted OLD and STALE) and a cake (no, it was definately NOT homemade!). I asked what happened to pancakes and eggs and tried to get my money back, but the lady there spoke only Portugese. I managed to understand, that there were no pancakes. I tried to speak with her in Spanish and French, but she only loughed at my face. I didn't get my money and tried to eat something, but it was disgusting. Afterwards we and a couple of other tourists went to the supermarket to have a proper breakfast.

    Wonderful balance between the amenities and comfort of a hotel and friendliness and possibilities to chat with interesting people of a hostel! Impecably clean, wonderfully located, free parking could be found on the same street a bit further. Very nice room. Super comfortable beds. It could be a really good hostel, if they didn't cheat and deceive tourists, and don't lough in their face. DON'T BUY BREAKFAST!

    A friendly and quiet place to stay in the centre of Guimarães
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Twin Room with Shared Toilet
    • Stayed 1 night

    The only things I can think of would be to repair the hole in the ceiling of the bathroom, and to provide a towel rail or somewhere in the room to hang up towels after use.

    I was given a nice welcome by the staff, everything was explained including how to get in and out of the building after hours. The room was as expected, a little small but fine for 1-2 people travelling together. The bathroom was shared, as expected, but I never had to wait to use it. I didn't spend much time within the hostel but everything was fine, and I had a nice quiet night as other guests were respectful and there was no street noise. I appreciated having an electric fan in the room.

    I've had comfier beds and pillows... But i had a Roommate who snored really loudly throughout the entire night, so maybe i'm biased about the comfort

    Staff was super friendly, location is great. Not to close to the center, so you don't have the noise, but close enough!
