The owner is quite nice but unfortunately part of the staff doesn't speak English at all. Breakfast means coffee, milk, cornflakes and cereals. The poor opinion about FUN is because when we were there (3 nights) they did not care about the hot water - it was totally cold almost all the time :(

This place was great. The two women who ran the hostel were really lovely. We were there during low season, and the only ones staying there that night - so we had it to ourselves. No complaints at all.

I was the only person staying at the hostel but id imagine that with a few people staying there it would be a great place.

this was a very good hostel: clean, nice people, very secure, nice chillzone with typically trendy pillow seats, tv and one pc with free internet access.

Hint: they close the chillout/kitchen/tv/pc-area at night (01.00-9.00)! ---------but: we didn't have a room with a window (double bed, shared bathroom). Well yes there was a closable window over the door, out to the corridor. But the room was lovely though. the character of the whole hostel was one of the best on our tour through portugal: The rooms are lovely designed and very nice equipped, you feel more in the house of your friends than at a hostel. The place looked like a surf oasis, the other guests seemed to be all surfers. -----------The best of the hostel is its location! What a great beach! Furthermore, the hostel is very near to the centre with a bar, a cheap fruit market and a big supermarket (all open 7 days a week!). And it's very near to the beach and the bus terminal as well: you get to peniche either by car or by bus from the rede expressos busline, it takes 1,5 to 2 hours from lisboa, and costs only 8 Euros! (september 2008). If you get there by rede expressos bus, get out at peniche centre (just ask the driver), then it's really just 2 minutes to walk to the hostel. -----------there is an easy way to make the very poor breakfast a good breakfast: bring your own! There is a local market right around the corner with bread, fresh fruits and vegetables, fish etc. which is even openened on Sundays and very cheap and very delecious! You just have to know that before you get there… Also at the same place: a little friendly bar, which is also opened 7 days a week, that provides cheap and good coffee, and the famous buns (sweet dough rolls with chocolate or vanilla filling) for cheap money! On the way to the beach, you come near a very big store, open 7 days a week, that has really everything you need, from fresh fish or pasta to body lotions and beach toys ;-) so in this little village peniche there is everything you need, either for surfing or as we did just for swimming in the sea and lying on the nice beach! ----------Details to the poor breakfast, which you don't need as I have just explained: just cornflakes and ususal warm milk. no toast, no bread; no jam, no cheese, no ham. But better than usual was the kitchen's general equippement: you can use the gas cooker and make your own dinner. -----------also unusual: the late breakfast time: 9-11. I f you come to peniche by bus as we did, you might have to leave there at 7 in the morning to catch the early bus to lisboa, which is a time when the kitchen/pc/tv/chillout-area is still closed. And make sure you drop off the keys the evening before. But as far as you don't need any breakfast in this hostel because of the great market and the bar and the big supermarket, it's no problem at all! -----------all in all we would very much recommend this hostel, and peniche, too!close

Decor is fun and inviting, beds comfortable, and showers are awesome. Entire hostel was cleaned every day, breakfast cerealsfruits, laundry, internet, and parking free and accessible. Within a 5 minute walk of phenomenal restaurants, beaches, and the marina. We didn´t want to leave, but look...

Unreal spot. Incredibly high quality facilities, super friendly staff. It's like you were staying at home. Secure, fun, relaxed, good vibes. If you stay in Peniche, you have to stay here.
