Don't be deceived by the unassuming entrance to what appears to be an office building. Occupying the top two floors, this swanky, colourful hostel showcases well-appointed dorms and twins, and great city views from the shared living room and kitchen.

Each of the dorms has its own bathroom, along with lockers, light and plug for each bed, while two of the twins come with panoramic balconies. The hostel books excursions and activities, from surf lessons to hiking in Parque Nacional Peneda-Gerês. Breakfast is included; towels are for rent.
