HI Viana do Castelo – Pousada de Juventude

Very nice hostel and very very friendly staff and they can speak English as well

We go to the posada twice a year to organize an event with people from all over the world, and everyone always says great things about the venue!! The staff is fantastic!!

Resonable accommodation with central heating but a bit overpriced. Good English speaking receptionist. Free Wi-Fi. Shared bathroom is not too bad but hygiene could be better as it can smell a bit. Shower head is a bit old and as it saves water is a bit fiddly having a shower. Long walk back to bedroom. Insulation not that great so you can hear people. Small terraced balcony was very shabby.

Small rooms with 4 beds each, sperated by gender. Nice balkony with a very nice few comes with each room. Big and clean bathroom. Nice garden with a hammog. Breakfast at 8:30 unfortunately quite late if you are on a pilgrimige. Would stay there agai

Two stars for super friendly and helpful staff. It was super old and depressing. Didn't like the bathrooms, not enough powerful plugs, there were some but did were hardcoded for the lamp. It was made to be inconvenient :/ wifi is very very weak in the rooms.

Nice place to stay, staff are very friendly and helpful.

De longe o melhor alojamento em Viana do Castelo, numa fase que antecipo ser a que antecede a de abertura de numerosos alojamentos locais e outros estabelecimentos como restaurantes e toda a logística associada ao "boom" de turismo que imagino virá a acontecer na cidade, depois de o mesmo ter ocorrido no Porto e em Braga. Pessoal profissional, limpeza impecável, condições de utilização e de espaço imbatíveis, excelente pequeno-almoço e tudo isto a um preço incrivelmente acessível tendo em conta o que se pratica noutros locais sem um décimo das condições nesta e noutras cidades. By far the best accommodation option in the city of Viana, in what I believe is the last step towards the opening of numerous hostels/hotels and other tourism-related establishments along with the entire logistic effort that inevitably comes with a touristic boom which I'm certain will happen in the city of Viana just like it happened in Porto or Braga. The staff is friendly and, above all, professional, 24 hours available, serious and trustworthy, the cleaning conditions are excellent, the space is more than large, the facilities are in excellent condition of preservation and functionality, and unlike other not-so-serious accommodations/hostels they DO have a breakfast, and not just any breakfast: it's very good and complete. Someone who complains about that or any other aspect in this accommodation either has some personal or intellectual issues or is being dishonest. All this comes at an incredibly fair and low price when compared to what happens in other accomodations in this and other cities. This place truly is an unexpected and surprising positive exception to the mainstream accomodation offers at this point and state of things. I truly recommend this to any type of traveller, or group of travellers. If you're looking for a place to stay in Viana for one night or several nights, this is the place to stay, don't miss it out.

Solid hostel. Massive, and feels a bit anonymous for it. I went in mid-Feb, so was pretty quiet - added to it's empty feel. Kitchen decent, breakfast as expected for price range. Bedrooms clean with great views, but beds very noisy. Staff very helpful on advice for beaches to the north. Bathrooms clean and showers decent.
