It is vivid hostel with international people. Staff VERY helpful and friendly! Hot showers available at all times! Just the rooms VERY basic and small, but you get used to it quickly. I definitely recommend it. We had a great time there!

thanks to: Joao and his football, his guitar, his cigarettes and everything else; Fabio and the breakfast; Mike so young so wise, the Swedish girls for the advertisment of the vodka; Mitch from New Zeland; Greg and his irony; Liam and his quite drunkness; the brazilian guy and the portuguese; Anna the only italian; the French friends and the funny pronunciation; the Spanish girls for all that they are; the redhead reception girl for her beaty; Liz the first meeting there; the Irish kids and their fighting etc. etc. In only one week all this peolple (and many more)... There's nothing left to say except for: GO TO THE SHINING and remember, a guitar could be really useful (no Joao?)
