This family-run hostel, 2km straight uphill from Friburgo’s town square, compensates for its remote location with a friendly welcome and great amenities, including a pool, sauna and nice mountain views. The hostel's downtown affiliate, Hotel Alê, is more convenient for those using public transit, with a mix of dorms and old-fashioned, parquet-floored private rooms.
