The Lighthouse Hostel

Pros: - Kitchen was amazing, including non-basic facilities like an oven - nice atmosphere in the hostel - clean and nice bed

Cons: - location in Sagres was not the best - no breakfast

Peaceful

Pros: The hostel was very clean and the facilities were great!

Cons: Nothing to report!

Pros: Amazing place, very nice, very comfy, great staff, the receptionist was absolutely adorable !

Absolutely amazing stay!

Pros: Gloria, the manager, does an incredible job coordinating her team and creating a friendly, harmonious atmosphere throughout the hostel. Everything is super well organized. The beds are really comfortable, the rooms are spacious, and the bathrooms are always spotless. You immediately feel welcomed and at home. The themed dinner nights are great fun and a perfect way to meet other travelers. There’s also a great coworking area with excellent Wi-Fi, a fully equipped kitchen with free tea and coffee, and a beautiful terrace where you can relax or join the free morning yoga sessions. The whole place feels new and well maintained, with a clean and beautiful pool that makes it even better. One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in — can’t recommend it enough!

Pros: The space was great. The private house was cozy. The terrace and outside areas were lively. Big shower. The yoga session was really good on the rooftop. Recommended! We will come back to try the pizza and the burger day ;)

Cons: The pool was very cold. With the sun, it was passable, but for barely a few hours. Our private room/house was missing quite a few utensils and bowls. Not enough seating areas indoors. (It does get cold at night.)

Anytime again

Pros: Very clean, quiet and relaxing place, possibilities to connect to other travelers if you wish to. Nice breakfast, best pizza night, yoga for free, laundry, coworking, pool, I could even squeeze my own orange juice in the kitchen … very happy I stayed here

Lovely atmosphere and comfortable stay

Pros: What a lovely and incredibly relaxing stay! The hostel is fantastic, friendly people, a lively yet chilled and communal atmosphere. They fire up the BBQ every evening for guests to cook, have a huge kitchen, and even offer free yoga and other fun activities. My private room with a shared bathroom was spotless, tidy, and the bed was extremely comfortable. I didn’t have breakfast, but the €2 cappuccino comes from a proper coffee machine, which was great! Supermarket is a short walk away.

Cons: The private room I stayed in is one of two rooms located in a separate bungalow opposite the main house. While it offers extra privacy, with its own entrance, a shared bathroom, and a common area, it also creates a slightly awkward setup, especially if you’re not sure whether you’ll be sharing (as a solo traveller) with another woman, man, or couple. For me, it made the space feel quite personal, more like something you’d prefer to share with friends rather than strangers. The kitchen in the bungalow is currently out of service due to misuse by previous guests, which has both pros and cons: it encourages guests to join the rest of the hostel community for meals and socialising, but it also limits the convenience of having a kitchen in the bungalow. Be aware of the location, it’s a bit outside the centre. The walk isn’t bad, but you walk along a main road with limited lighting and sidewalks. It’s definitely more convenient if you have a car.

Pros: Even though it’s a hostel, the customer service exceeded that of a top-notch hotel. A big thank you to all the staff who worked in the building.

Loved it

Pros: Great stay! Very social hostel, many solo travelers and not just very young people but rather ages of end 20s, 30s etc. The amenities are great and everything is well maintained and organized. There are eg dishwashers so you never have to wash dishes. The beds are comfy and everything is very clean. Very good breakfast, yoga and dinner activities. Everyone meets at night to cook their own food on the common bbq stuff.

Cons: Mosquito nets in beds would be great

Room as described, friendly people, lots of options in the facility itself.

Pros: The room was quite clean, there was a swimming pool, kitchen, work space and breakfast available.

Cons: The bed was torn and the mattress was dirty.
