Sail Hostel

The house itself is quiet at night, with the sound of the waves outside, and the sea-view terrace was a lovely spot to watch the sunset. I chose a shared bathroom, used by just two rooms, even though I usually prefer a private one. The place was so tidy, and that option saved some money. I also saw a room with its own gorgeous bathroom. The whole house feels modern and well cared for, with tasteful decor and modern bathrooms. It was super clean. I was a little wary after some mediocre stays elsewhere, but Ale and Ale (his girlfriend) had nearly talked me into booking Sail hostel before I’d even gone inside, thanks to such a warm, open welcome. They also shared loads of local knowledge, from restaurants and cafés to sights and day trips, including tips for Sintra, Lisbon, Obidos and other places. These were recommendations based on what they personally love, and I found them more useful than a guidebook. That made my stay at Sail hostel and in the area feel really special. Thanks so much. I’d definitely come back, and I recommend it. Six stars! :)
