Hostel S. José

Good hostel with a nice room and good facilities. No group activities when I was there but interaction between guests is quite easy due to the common diner table and table tennis table

Very friendly personal and i stay 6 nights (first only 2 nights were planned) because its near the praya, all what you need is nearby and you feel so good there. Really holiday feeling and you have the things you need. The team is very pleased to help with everything, bad and roos are cleas, you get fresh towels and the kitchen eqipment has all you can imagine :) Really happy to stay there and i will come again :)

It is the best hostel I have ever been) We stay here for 6 night. But firstly we want to stay just two. We are me, my wife and two children 2 and 5 year old. The main is stuff and hostess, we feel ourselves there like in one big family. We were very glad to spend time with them: speaking, cooking, eating, watching TV, walking. They were friendly and attentive with children, give them toys, cakes and a lot of time to play together. My children still remember evening play with Vinni and Pele. Kitchen is full equiped, there is everything, what you can imagine. Rooms and common area are clean, cosy and light.

The Hostel it self is good. Very friendly and a nice atmosphere. Ideal fit travelers who wants to party. There are a lot of clubs and bars nearby. Even sports bars for watching football. The beach is only 2 min away... It's not that cool for couples or families. It's too loud in the night and it's very touristic.

Amazing homey place to stay! It was an old restaurant so the kitchen is awesome, very spacious common areas and nice porch to hangout on. Very clean and well managed. A reasonable priced place minutes from the beach!! Highly recommend.

Very good and clean Hostel, run by a very nice family. Stayed in a room of 6, but the people were pretty quiet and to themselves. Owners are very helpful and kind. Good open public spaces to enjoy inside and outside. Location is great and within 2-3 minutes you're on the Boulevard and beach. Nice kitchen to use for making meals, a fridge to put your groceries in and often some free stuff to use (food, sun lotion etc.) The owners clean every day and thoroughly too! They have two very nice and well behaved dogs who love a good petting. Would definitely recommend this hostel!

Absolutely the best hostel I have ever stayed in! Every part of this hostel feels like a home from the cute animals to the incredibly accommodating staff who truely treated me like family. The rooms & bathrooms are cleaned daily, there is a large kitchen & living area with hammocks and you’re only a few minutes from some beautiful beaches and bars. If you skip this hostel you are missing out on an amazing place to stay and great friendships, Tai and Jo run the best hostel in the whole of Europe! I planned to stay for 4 nights and stayed for over a month & have no complaints at all :)

This place has become a living nightmare since the change in management. It's full of dodgy people living there. There's a strange looking "hunchback" girl that's very rude. Some will eat your food, bump into you, manacingly stare at you and overall bad vibes. There's no hot water for showering and most dishes are not well clean. You cannot hangout with your friends during dinner because the owners will watch soap-opera at that time. Apart from one or two nice people there, most of them are not friendly. Go somewhere else. (I lived there for a long time)
