HI Guimaraes - Pousada de Juventude

The private room with its own bathroom was large, clean, and had little balconies facing the front of the property. Breakfast was decent, and the staff were friendly. They kept our bags for a few hours after checkout, then returned a power converter we'd accidentally left behind when we came back for them. It's a very good hostel, within an easy walk of the old town, Pingo Doce supermarket, and the train station, which is about ten minutes away on foot. There's a 24-hour kitchen on the second floor for preparing food, plus a lounge and outdoor patio on the ground floor. Mostly students were staying there during my visit, but there weren't many and it was fairly quiet.
