Worth weighing

- Off-center location — The hostel is a 17-minute walk from Meia Praia beach, and some guests note it's a bit out of town, though that also brings quieter nights.

- Kitchen supplies can be limited — One guest mentioned a slight lack of kitchen supplies, though the kitchen is generally well-equipped.
