Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Without doubt the worst hostel I have stayed in in Europe. Can't check in before 18:00. Rules for everything. Access during the day is difficult as the door is locked. Access is difficult due to the steep staircase. Shared toilet bathrooms are like you experienced at school, maybe worse. Staff treat you like a 13 year old school kid. Don't touch the microwave! No facilities for storing or preparing your own food. Sleep on a rock hard single mattress covered in plastic. Tv doesn't work or staff won't turn on. 'School' type dining room. Breakfast is a pre prepared breadroll in a paper bag, no buffet style here. I recommend you avoid this place, Castelo Branco has better facilies
