Best hostel stay ever!!!

Hands down the best hostel stay of my life. Carmo at the Reception desk was so lovely and welcoming and helpful. Her English is perfect as is her positive attitude. The room was top notch: featherbeds and the best shower: very hot water and it was strong enough to massage my Pilgrim (backpacking sore) shoulders. I had a blast in the common dining room with several fellow Caminho compatriots and at the delicious and abundant “breakfast included”. Thank you, Carmo! You are a Caminho angel! If I could give 10 stars I would!

Extremamente qualificados.

A minha estadia correu lindamente. Um excelente serviço, pessoal muito atencioso, uma boa organização, pousada com boas condições. Os quartos deveriam ter ventilação, ar condicionado ou ventoinhas, pois são muito quentes. As camas deveriam ser melhores, com colchões confortáveis. As casas de banho são excelentes, o espaço dos quartos também. As varanda são excelentes e a paisagem que se vê também. A pousada está situada num local fantástico, perto do centro.Servem um bom pequeno almoço. Ficamos extremamente satisfeitos.

Great place, great location

our room had a great view over the river and it was very quiet during the night. The staff was very helpful in everything we needed. Besides the balcony available in the room there's also a comfortable area, like an inside garden, to stay and relax. In the morning the breakfast starts at 8.30 am and is a good start to the day! Overall it met our expectations, it is a good stay for those planning some days in Viana. I definitly recomend this place...I wanna thanks all staff!!

C'est une auberge de jeunesse, on ne s'attend donc pas au confort d'un hotel mais la chambre est spacieuse, dotée d'une salle de bain et d'une belle terrasse avec vue sur le rio. La cuisine à disposition est bien équipée. Le personnel est accueillant et serviable. Le wifi fonctionne très bien dans les parties communes, mais pas dans les chambres.
