Party hostel

Nice party hostel. Perfect for weekends or when you want to meet people. The owner & the staff are very cool. It gets a bit too noisy when you want to rest like people playing ping-pong at 11PM & also when you try to work during the day with loud music in the common areas.

Tomás el autobus desde la estación de Autobuses local en el centro de la ciudad (Plataforma A bus Núm° 330 ó 320) llegás a la terminal de la Lagoa da Conceicao de ahí tomás el Bus N°363 para Playa Joaquina y te deja justo en la puerta del Hostal!! Muy cerca de Supermercados y paradas de coles para visitar el resto de las playas. Buena ubicación!! :)
