Hostel Casa d'Alagoa

I liked everything, personally I always pay attention to toilets and these were very comfortable and clean!! I could even smell the bleach. The shower and toilet are together that makes it comfortable. The beds had curtains for more privacy and there are drawers to put your personal belongings. Also, staff was really nice and explained details of possible things to do. They organise nights with guests which makes it easy to get to know people.

The hostel is very centrally located. The most important thing in this hostel are their staff, Patricia, Sabrina, I am not remembering the names sorry, all 3 girls were super good 👍 Also Max, from the pub crawl. The beds are comfortable with a curtain. The toilets are always cleaned and there are pretty many bathrooms. Also, there's a nice rooftop, but as it was winter, nothing was happening there, maybe good in summer. The kitchen was fully equipped and also the area is nice to sit and chill with other guests. Join their WhatsApp group, there's something going on every night 🥳

Everything was great. Everyone working in the hostel was friendly and helpful, and the place was very clean. Nice vibe 😀 During my stay there was a pizza night and barbecue organised - good for everyone who likes to socialise and party. I don't, but even during the party it was not very loud, and I slept very well 😀 Bed very comfy, clean, white sheets, very good water pressure under the shower. This place has it all, and I am sure everyone can feel great there 😀 thank you !

The hostel is fairly centrally located, a few minutes walk from the Old Town and a few more from the port where beachgoers can find the ferry to get there. The rooms are clean and comfortable, some of the best nights of sleep I've had anywhere. The beds have curtains so you can get some privacy if you want it. The bathrooms (especially the ones outside of the dorms) are clean and cleaned on a regular schedule. The staff are friendly and helpful and gave me some really good suggestions for restaurants and bars, so definitely do ask. They will also help you find/book a range of activities besides the ones that are hosted by Casa and their sister hostel, which happen daily. Nightly dinners and weekend pub crawls are a good way for solo travellers to meet fellow travellers. All that and the fairly active WhatsApp group chat means that you don't have to eat/do things alone unless you want to and I personally found it a nice mix of independence and sociability.

The location was perfect, very close to the city center. The bed was comfortable and had everything you needed: a large locker underneath the beds, curtains, a socket and a reading light. Everything was kept super clean too!
