Reviews for Hostel a Esplanada

Review 1:Very basic breakfast only because as a vegetarians we eat a bit different..

Review 2:Location, space of the room, ability to use a kitchen and prepare our own meals, parking

Review 3:Bed bugs in the room and we left after 2 days. They initially would not give us a full refund, I needed to call both booking.com and my credit card company in order to have my money refunded.

Review 4:The hostel is excellent, staff were helpful. You have full use of the kitchen including the washing machine. The owner even hung my washing on the line! Free huge oranges in the lobby and continental breakfast. I cannot fault this place and would definitely stay again.

Review 5:There wasn't much choice for breakfast - only 1 cereal choice and then 1 cheese and 1 ham. But for the price what should i expect.

Review 6:My husband is tall so to have the longer beds in certain rooms was great. Its within walking distance to most things. The owner was very helpful even though he didn't speak much English. Great for the price.

Review 7:A nice room, simple but functional so you'll have everything you need. The owner was very welcoming and gave us valuable tips on our Alentejo trip.

Review 8:Our navigation system came out of order, and after our phone call in the middle of the night the owner in the rainy weather rushed to show us the way to the hostel. Thanks to him! The room was new, clean, modern, safe and cosy.

Review 9:It was 20 minutes to Tavira so make sure you book your dinner for that night.

Review 10:Beautiful relaxing setting in the country. Great food and friendly staff.

Review 11:My wife and I usually stay in hotels while traveling in the US but this trip to Portugal we decided to try this new concept of european Hostel. Could not be happier since we found a great host, comfortable beds and more important PRIVACY! Didn't miss the hotel service at all, specially their overrated prices. Do your research before booking!
