Pousada de Juventude de Ponte de Lima

friendly receptionist and multiple supermarkets nearby. In the shower cabin is an additional shower curtain to protect your clothes from water. negative things are: - street in front of the room window quite noisy. And the windows of the room are not very noise canceling. - at the checkin and on a sign it says breakfast from 8:30am. But when being a pilgrim it's possible to have breakfast way earlier. didnt know that and that should be communicated better. - temperature sensitive food is served in a glass fridge. But the marmelade is located outside. the marmelade had room temperature and was about to be unrefrigerated for at least 1:30 hour more. Not a good food safety... - the glass fridge in the common area downstairs is pretty loud during the whole day - the one power socket in the bathroom is placed quite inconveniently.

Very good location, Aldi is right next to the hotel. The common area is very pretty, possible to work there and eat a good breakfast, pretty simple but everything that is needed you can eat. Rooms are good, the only minus was that we were cold in the night and sleeping under two blankets that were on the shelf. Probably windows weren't completely secure from the wind. You can hear the neighbours but it was not a problem. Recepcionists speaks English. Had an amazing week over there and for sure will be back in the future.

It was very mid. In terms of looks, I enjoyed it, its very brutalist. In terms of security,its horrible, you can shimmy every door in under a second

It's not great, but it's not pricey either. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Our only issue with the noice were the other guests, shouting in the corridor in the middle of the night. The room had the beds, a table with two chairs, a cupboard with two extra blankets and a bedside table. We had one socket near the bed and one closer to the door. The breakfast could be better, but it was not bad at all. Pretty basic.

Rooms as nice and clean and modern. No tv in the rooms and bathroom and showers are very nice. The one downside for me was the breakfast that could be a bit better since its limited to cereals, bread, butter, ham and cheese, coffee and tea and milk. The outdoor balcony was unkept and had cigarette butts laying on the outdoor furniture as there was no ashtray there.

Great place. Bathroom excellent. Bedroom probably tight if full. Nice storage but not locked. Breakfast can be packed. I waited and it was not worth the wait. 8:30 seems very late for breakfast. Cosy blankets but no heat. Hard to dry out. Walls are a bit thin. Location great.

My first experience in Pousada is very impressive. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Rooms are neat and tidy with enough space, and garden. Shared kitchen is neat and tidy with enough space. Breakfast was variety. I highly appreciate for everyone for support and assistant. Felt like home.

I stayed here for one night while walking the Camino Portuguese. It is a (late 70's-early 80's?) modern building with a long row of dorm-style rooms. My room had 4 beds (bunk-style), plenty of closet/locker space, a table with chairs and a large window that opened allowing for fresh air. There is a large bathroom down the hall with plenty of stalls and showers with good water pressure and hot water. A decent breakfast is included with the room price (9 euros/night) - yogurt, bread, cereal, ham, cheese, coffee/tea, juice and fruit. This hostel is located just outside the city center - a 5 minute walk. The front desk staff was very helpful and friendly, although the dining/breakfast room staff could use some brushing up on their people skills.
