The property was in a great location with the most amazing views. The staff were great when asked for assistance or information. Unfortunately, The quiet time is not until midnight. Normally in other hostels that I have stayed quiet time is 10pm. The two nights I stayed, one week apart, the other patrons were very loud. The second stay there were a lot of children staying and they were yelling and running around a lot. The staff did not ask them to stop and neither did their supervisors. It was not until I said something to the children myself after 10pm that a supervisor came out of their room. I have stayed at a lot of hostels and never had this experience with other patrons being so loud.

Best option on the island for travelers
building is interesting as it was an old ruinous building that was renovated and now has a lot of life. The staff were excellent and taught me a lot and brought me out with them on Saturday night. Excellent choice.

Muito potencial, pouco concretizado
A pousada tem imenso potencial, mas sofre de falta de pessoal e fraca gestão. Tivemos 4 noites em quarto particular e apenas na última noite nos tinham tirado o lixo e passado a vassoura no chão. O pequeno almoço é abaixo de básico, e chegou ao ponto de estar apenas 1 copo e 2 chávenas limpas quando estavam 7 pessoas para tomar o pequeno (e entraram depois ainda mais 2), sem ninguém na copa ou na recepção para ajudar/repor. Noutro dia o leite tinha acabado e simplesmente não havia mais na copa para repor; a moça da recepção teve de ir comprar. A explicação que nos deram foi que tinham falta de pessoal e uma colega nova muito lenta. Eu imagino que não dê obras nas ilhas seja mais difícil de arranjar, mas assim também não é forma de ter um negócio a funcionar. Já não falando da piscina, inexplicavelmente sem funcionar em pleno verão.

Agréable séjour
Réservation de 2 chambres doubles en juillet. Les chambres sont assez spacieuses et propres. Les espaces communs sont agréables et appréciables, notamment la terrasse et la piscine. Il manque, toutefois, un espace libre cuisine avec frigo, ce que l'on trouve normalement dans les auberges de jeunesse...

Très bien
Auberge de jeunesse très propre ! Personnel très accueillant et disponible ! La piscine est un gros plus. Un peu à l'écart du centre mais c'est un bon compromis pour les petits budgets.

Good value.
Nice place, good value for money. But no sound insulation so you hear everything in the halls and nearby rooms.

Youth hostel with own swimming pool and great view
I liked everything about the place except the women's dorm on the 3d floor: 12 beds stacked under an hot attic, only one shower and no other option, old metalic bunks (going up these ladders just kills your feet) and no individual lights for the top bunks (room was meant only for 6 normal beds)! Thank god (and very nice staff)I was upgraded for the first of my 2 nights there and these private rooms are fantastic!!!
