PTM DownTown Hostel&Suites features an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and terrace in Portimão. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, a shared kitchen and an ATM, along with free WiFi. Guests can have a drink at the bar.

One of the best stays I’ve been in Europe definitely. The staff is so helpful and nice. I’m really impressed about the cleaning and facilities, specially in the bathrooms, not common in hostels like shower cap, good shower gel and shampoo, cleaned towels, also a complete kitchen with everything you need. The pool are is so cozy that we postponed our boat tour to enjoy for a day, perfect to relax, have breakfast, read a book, sunbath, etc. The restaurant has really good lunch and breakfast, everything made carefully, beautiful dishes. And the decoration of the whole property is also nice. I loved the experience! I highly recommend. 😊

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.

    The apartment is spacious and well located, close to the beach and some nice bars and restaurants. The little cafe bar by the pool is great for a cheap and tasty breakfast - the two woman who work there are really lovely.

    Exellent hostel. Modern, safe, clean with cozy beds. Nothing is a problem there. I needed a hair drayer, no problem. I could also leave there my luggage after checking out. Hostel is very near the Praia da Rocha. Nearby starts coastal trail along the coast. I will come back one time.

    The property was in a great location. I couldn’t find the place right away so had to call them. The person I talked to was very helpful and made sure I got there easily. The apartment is just like in the pictures. Is really close to the beach and has a few small supermarkets nearby. Was travelling solo so I wanted a place where I could feel safe and close to everything I would need and this was it.
