Description of Peniche Hostel
Imagine a small fishing town surrounded by the ocean...the westernmost town in Europe. Now imagine a place to stay with simple and friendly people to greet you. A place where you can feel comfortable after a day full of excitement surfing at our beaches or a calm day spent walking with the seagulls. That's our spirit! It´s a place for all backpackers, surfers, people travelling alone or in small groups. Our hostel, totally renovated in the late 90´s, is composed of 4 mixed dorm rooms for 4 guests each and 1 double room, a fully equipped kitchen and two bathrooms. It allows travellers to have a good night´s sleep, to prepare their own meals, to do the laundry etc. We have a nice lounge where you can enjoy a DVD or simply relax in the company of a good book. We also offer you 24 hours free internet, and surfboards and bicycles to rent. Peniche is privileged in several aspects, one of which is its wonderful seaside. This Peninsula is known worldwide for its perfect conditions for surfing. Here you can surf every day whatever the direction of the wind or swells. It´s perfect for all kinds of surfers. If you´re a beginner we can help you find the perfect surf school to improve your surfing. If you´re already an expert, you should come and enjoy the miles of great waves along our coast. The road to the Carvoeiro Cape is an unforgettable sight with exotic and rare scenery and geological formations, designed by the sea and the actions of time which have created a work of art. The Berlangas Islands are always present within this vast panorama. Peniche, land of fishermen, has magnificent seafood.. Its specialities are fresh fish, Fish Stew and the famous "Sweated" Lobster or a simple grilled sardine. The Region has many colours: the green of the vineyards, the blue of the sea and the golden sands of the beaches. It's a territory full of intense luminosity where the sea coast and the countryside pair up to offer a pleasant climate all year long. We are also close to night life activities, bars and restaurants. Our central location makes it easy to access the nearby beaches or take fabulous strolls along the coastline. You can also enjoy the nearby gardens, the historic XIV century fortress, small churches and ancient builldings all over town. NB: Please note that due to new regulations with Visa & Mastercard this hostel requires the 3 digit security from the back of your credit card ! Please contact us if you have any questions.

“ Small and comfortable, very nice indeed. Only thing that was not fun, was the ant problem. Nocturnal people would also suffer, should they actually close the common area for the night as per their rules. Lockers were quite tiny, too small for a lap top, but the very nice staff was willing to... more ”

“ The only thing i would say is that they should take off the wifi on their list of services on hostelworld since they no longer offer wifi. Other than that everything was great, we had a blast, the staff was excellent, they arranged everything for us, surf classes, where to go eat, party, etc.... ”

“ A small and cosy hostel at the Peniche boulevard, offers a variety of rooms (make sure you take one with a window!). we recommend the Africa room (4 people). There are 2 bathrooms which is enough (no queues :) however the shower is not cleaned regularly. We'll be back ;-) ”

“ 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 :( ”
