The Sintra Small Hostel is located 1.2 km from the historical and scenic Sintra centre. This themed hostel features permanent exhibits dedicated to traditional Portuguese household items and is 5 minutes’ drive from the Moorish Castle.

This has to be one of the sweetest and most charming hostels I've stayed in. The decor is quirky and local. The bed is comfortable, firm, big delightful duvet and extra pillows. Lots of space, vintage wardrobe, full length mirror and great books everywhere. The bathroom is spacious with a large shower. There is a spare toilet downstairs as well. The cherry on top was the delicious vegan cafe just around the corner.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location,5 minutes from train station, close to restaurants & shopping. The office staff printed our boarding passes without charge. Well appointed modern kitchens and bathrooms(2 kitchens & 2 bathrooms on our floor to service 6 bedrooms). Wifi worked well . Given warm welcome and tour @ check-in. Staff spoke English. Staff recommendations for dining and tourist attractions were excellent. Individually controlled A/C or heat in each room, also nice to open the window for fresh mountain air. Complimentary tea appreciated.

    Really unusual venue. Good food, five minutes or so away and uber's in Portugal are exceptionally cheap, so why bother with the bus

    Literally the best hostel! Very good location, VERY VERY CLEAN! Kitchen with everything in it. There are storage lockers (but bring your locket with you, if you don’t have one there is a Chinese store near by). Antonio is the best, so welcoming and helpful. Overall we had a great time :D

    This small hostel is as pretty as the city of Sintra is. It feels more like a private Airbnb. The breakfast was also delicious. One of the best hostel I went to!

    One of the best hostels I ever stayed. It doesn't feel overcrowded even when fully booked. I stayed for 5 nights to explore Sintra, Cascais, Cap de la Roca, Queluz and Mafra. The train station and buses are only 3-5 minutes away.
