Paintshop Hostel

The Paintshop Hostel is the first and only international backpackers in Figueira da Foz. Close to all the bars, clubs and beaches you need, it's the perfect place to break the journey between Porto and Lisbon. We offer budget accommodation with private double rooms, twin rooms and 2, 4 or 6 bed dorms, with free internet/WIFI and breakfast.

You can cater for yourselves in our well-equipped kitchen or join in with us on a Monday to take advantage of our Homemade Woodfired Pizza's! Create your own pizza from a delicious array of toppings on a freshly made dough base, and we'll cook it up in our own pizza oven! This comes with salad, garlic bread and yummy dessert pizza! But Wednesday night is our favourite night of the week, because then you can join in our Paintshop BBQ. An awesome spread of marinated meats, hamburgers, veges, salads and potatoes, everybody stuffs themselves full before heading out to the town!

The newly refurbished Paintshop Bar and Beer Garden is a great place to kick back after a long day at the beach and meet other travellers. On Fridays get ready for the world famous 'Paintshop Bar Crawl' where staff, owners and guests get rowdy then rampage through the bars in town with free shots at each! Our bar has a Big Screen TV where we show all major sporting events, and hold our 'Hangover Sunday' movie nights with free popcorn. If we have loads of guests that are keen for some banter, we hold a Paintshop Trivia night, where giggles, arguments and competition abound!

If you're on your own or in a group; make sure to ask about the large number of activities around the town. Kayaking, surfing, tennis, horse riding, 5-a-side football, scuba diving or sky diving, theres something for everyone! We also hire mountain bikes for the epic trails on the hill, skateboards to use in the local skate park, and new this year we have Moto-X lessons from only 30€!

Figueira da Foz is a surfers paradise - with both beach breaks and point breaks and here at the Paintshop we provide hire of wetsuits, bodyboards, longboards, Mini Mals and shortboards. Or if you're new to surfing, our surf instructor will give you lessons for only €30 for a 2 hour lesson. For the really keen we have organised 'Surf Camp' packages (from 270€) which include accomodation, lessons & hire, and transfers to and from Coimbra.
