Carcavelos Hostel

The housing is suitable for young people, close to the beach, and the people there are very nice, and we will come again there. My advice is that the experience was good😊

Very good

Don’t be fooled by the pictures as it makes it look a lot cleaner and sleeker than you think. The place wasn’t very organised from a management perspective and they accept guests who carry lots of *****. The rooms do not look like they do in the pictures and every morning we tried to go out, the tried to charge us more for the room and said we owed them more even though we had already paid everything upfront in cash. No breakfast provided unlike the description provided. Staff took our chargers and we only got one back out of the 3 we had. prices different and more expensive to what it says online. You can stay in an airbnb around the same area for similar price or less and have a better experience than staying in a room with a drug dealer. Although, 2 of the ladies working there were very sweet and understanding. I personally don’t recommend staying here as it’s not worth the price at all and if you pay online they don’t accept it and beg for cash in person only when you have already paid online and when you’re there in person. DONT WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY HERE AND STAY IN AN AIRBNB + ignore the good reviews and listen to the bad reviews

My first time at a hostel. Cool vibe. Clean. Nice staff. Safe. Only issue was the refrigerator situation. Not enough space for serious 3-4 meal eaters a day. I am sure once they replace of fix a bad unit(that had a freezer also) that situation will result in plenty of cold food storage.

The location is great and I was really happy with my stay up until day 4 where I was rudely awakened to the hostels receptionist banging a guest in the bunk across from mine; there’s a time and place for everything - I found that situation to be a extremely disrespectful to me (a guest) Other than that I liked the location and amenities.
