Reviews of In Barcelos Hostel & Guest House

Sofia was very helpful and I was able to arrange the transport of my heavy backpack to my next location.

This hostel was in a very central location in Barcelos. We were only staying one night as walking the Camino Portuguese so it was perfect for an overnight stop. There are plenty of places to eat in the vicinity but there is also a kitchen if you'd rather eat in. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay here again.

Stayed one night during the Caminho de Santiago. Location and room are very good. There is a kitchen which you can use to make food and fridge to store food, which is the same place they serve breakfast. The normal hour for breakfast was 8am but the staff at reception kindly did it 30min earlier for us. There was a washing machine and tumble dryer at the hostel which were very handy for us as we really needed to wash our clothes and other laundries were a bit far.

The washing machine and drier only work with coins but they don’t change money at reception so you should have some coins with you. You also need to have your own detergent and softener, otherwise it’s only water.

The hostel is right in the center, close to shops and restaurants and on the Camino de Santiago.

Reception is closed until 15.00 which is unexpected for a hostel or hotel. One window in our room was boarded up. The drain in the bathroom got stuck closed, but the receptionist worked hard and successfully to resolve that

Very convenient location

Beautiful historical building, centrally located and yet relatively quiet. Nice terrace where you can eat inside and outside . Well equipped kitchen. AC in room very quiet.

great location, lovely staff bedroom and bathroom were huge - stayed in a family room with 4 beds

Clean rooms. Attentive staff. Excellent location on the Camino. Pilgrim friendly. This was our second stay here, and we continue to be impressed. Very good value.

The receptionist was so welcoming after walking my longest day on the Camino and property was secure. Code to enter room and property. The room I stayed in had a balcony, private bathroom, AC (as an American that was a surprise!) and in the center of all the restaurants.

I liked it all!

Clean spacious peaceful modern central with views and kitchen and someone to greet you

Nothing

Beautiful old building, but fully modernised inside. Great facilities including a very fully equipped kitchen, coin laundry (reasonable cost) and common room. Lift available. Top class hostel right in the centre of a great town.

Nothing.

I was alone in room, this was ok

superb

Great location in a great town. Quite a lot of stairs after a long day of walking to get up to the rooms! Very spacious private rooms and comfortable dorm beds.

Shower floor was just soaking and really hard to get dry after showering, but otherwise a nice stay.

Good location and a really lovely hostel

I wasn't able to check in earlier which is stated in the booking info but it was pouring with rain and I had a few hours before I could get in

Great set up for pilgrims. Beds comfy and self-contained with curtains, light, plug and locker. Great kitchen facilities and useful washing facilities. Perfect central location too. Plus, check out the scary living room with a glass floor.

I felt for the price they could have put the sheets on the bed. I know this is common in hostels in Portugal and Spain, but when you're paying €30 a night, it feels like something they should do.

Great location, comfy beds, huge bathroom. Staff were friendly. Breakfast was $5 per person and it was a spread of toast, pastries, juice, yoghurts. Great location near restaurants and cafes. Quiet. Highly recommend!

Nothing!
