HI Castelo Branco – Pousada de Juventude

I had a wonderful experience! The rooms are clean, spacious, and beautifully organized. The washrooms are spotless, and the overall atmosphere is very comfortable. I highly recommend visiting — you’ll definitely love it!

Very tidy, very demure and clean option at a good price. It is true: the entrance is unusual (at the rare) but not impossible to find. The staff is also professional and helpful. I wasn't expecting breakfast to be included! (It could start earlier than 8.30😉) Well served buffet with breads, toast, fruit, cereal, yogurt, cheese and ham, coffee machine ... Too good to be a hostel! The only bad thing about my stay was one of my roomies (too noisy) But that's not the hostel's fault. Highly recommended, safe choice.

We stayed as a group for a single day, and it was a really enjoyable experience, the staff was really friendly and allowed us to leave our bags in the reception untill we checked in, the condition of the infrastructure is great aswell! The room we stayed in could accommodate 4 people comfortably, the room was clean and tidy, the showers had really hot water however 2 out of the 4 showers were out of service. The eating area was cozy. Overall a great experience.

Great staff. Ruben is my man! Clean rooms, good showers. Nice breakfast. Hotel Californië 😀 And off course Daniel@

I had my finger date on the 5th of February after I came to Portugal even though I was in your portu 300 km from my home I had a safe so I booked the hotel the day before the hotel was excellent their wedding beer excellent breakfast included breakfast was also excellent their service simply excellent.

The staff are nice but can't check in till 18:00. Can't use the bathroom while you wait to check in for a paid reservation. Literally forced to urinate outside.Can't use the microwave by yourself or use your own stove. No couches to hang out on. A bunch of petty rules. Wouldn't reccomend staying more than a day or two. Staff is nice but definitely not customer first policies. Too bad.

2 of the 4 available showers were out of service so I had to wait to have a shower. Rooms were ok but pillow and mattress were not very comfortable. Breakfast was ok but nothing special. Ok for the price (we paid 15€ per person in a 4 bed shared room.

I love this place, close to town and cafes etc!! The staff are lovely, you can use the dining room to sit in and chill with the telly, heat food up in the microwave and just relax! The rooms are basic but clean with windows that actually open and breakfast in the morning is excellent, ceral, rolls, tea, coffee and madalenas : ) A clean shared bathroom which is (in my opinion) nicer than having a toilet next to your bed. Would definitely come back, don't really want to go!!! Only improvement would be check out to be later than 10am. You can come and go as you please as security is there all night to open the door so party away!! Thank you all at Pousada de Juventude xxx
