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.

    I was very warmly welcomed by Celia who made sure to orient me on the local map n point out all the places of interest in the area. The other staff like Lisa were charming and helpful with other local tips and suggestions. The dorm room was warm with a heater n two blankets. This hostel also had the best common room / kitchen area. Showers were hot.

    Everything was just excellent, couldn't have asked for more. Spotlessly clean, amazing buffet breakfast for such cheap price, comfy mattresses, safe, spacious and warm dorm, super quiet, historical building in the town centre, so easy to find. Great showers, vast communal areas, welcoming and helpful lady at the reception who gave me a map and lots of info about Guimaraes. Had a perfect stay and will definitely go again.
