The Hostel is located right in the middle of Ericreia „downtown“ close to all pubs, shops and the beach (consider this, since the town is really popular and lively also at night). The location is great for eating out and going to shops.
The Hostel itself is a beautiful portugese house with lovely decor and details. We had a room with shared bathroom. This is ok if your staying just to sleep there or a short trip. I wouldnt book this again, since the bathroom is shared with all the other rooms without a bathroom and isnt cleaned that ofter (maybe once a day?). The kitchen is cute but small and the frigde a little bit too full considering the guests staying there. But I cant really make a judgement about the kitchen since we didnt cook there. If you dont have a room with terasse or balcony, the only common area next to the inside lounge/work area is a small roof top with possibilty to lounge (max 4 people), whis has great views on the roofs of Ericreia and the ocean … oh and the sunset! Our room was small and basic, with cute decor. I assume the climate in Ericreia gets really humid, so our things also didnt dry in the room (with no other possibility to hang outside except the window).
I would recommed this Hostel for friends staying for a short trip looking for sleepless party nights or days spend outside. I think the rooms with bathroom or the apartments are a nice option for couples or familys.
