Hostel S. José Hostel

Best place to stay if you are in Portimao, no contest! The location is superb and the people there are so welcoming and friendly. I'm definitely going back.

This place is very cozy and close to everything. The staff is very relaxed and helpful. They accept kids. You can also bring your pets, they can watch over them while you go to the beach. Its like being at home, you can play table tennis or just relax on the hammocks. The kitchen is nicely equipped which helps a lot for who dont like spending too much money on touristic restaurants. Recommended for families and small groups of friends!

The staff was so lovely and kind, you really feel welcome in this place. Everything is clean and well organized. We literally can't find flaws here! Loved the stay!

It is the best hostel I have ever been) We stay here for 6 night. But firstly we want to stay just two. We are me, my wife and two children 2 and 5 year old. The main is stuff and hostess, we feel ourselves there like in one big family. We were very glad to spend time with them: speaking, cooking, eating, watching TV, walking. They were friendly and attentive with children, give them toys, cakes and a lot of time to play together. My children still remember evening play with Vinni and Pele. Kitchen is full equiped, there is everything, what you can imagine. Rooms and common area are clean, cosy and light.

I absolutely loved this place. I have been there on the 1st of january and stayed for only one night. But this is a good memory of my Portugal road trip. We booked a dorm but were assigned to a regular hotel room, with TV, bathroom and a great balcony. People were very friendly and authentic, kitchen is spacious and the living room is very comfortable. During the off-season I highly recommend to stay the night at this place.

The hostel itself was a very clean.
The owner and staff were all very very friendly, helpful and welcoming.
Cozy and huge community room inside and outside was a sufficiently large.
For our big group.
The owners clean hostel every day. …
Excellent location.
Extremely close to the Main Street and beach access.
The hostel is three — five minutes away from the beach. We definitely recommend this hostel also for groups.
Our group had 43 people and we stayed for 3 nights. Many thanks for your all, you did our trip more sunny :) Stayed October 2016

Very good and clean Hostel, run by a very nice family. Stayed in a room of 6, but the people were pretty quiet and to themselves. Owners are very helpful and kind. Good open public spaces to enjoy inside and outside. Location is great and within 2-3 minutes you're on the Boulevard and beach. Nice kitchen to use for making meals, a fridge to put your groceries in and often some free stuff to use (food, sun lotion etc. ) The owners clean every day and thoroughly too! They have two very nice and well behaved dogs who love a good petting. Would definitely recommend this hostel!

Love the vibe and the location is perfect. Grocery store 30 sec walk. Restos and beach is less than 5 min walk!

The Hostel it self is good. Very friendly and a nice atmosphere. Ideal fit travelers who wants to party. There are a lot of clubs and bars nearby. Even sports bars for watching football. The beach is only 2 min away… It's not that cool for couples or families. It's too loud in the night and it's very touristic.

Very friendly personal and I stay 6 nights (first only 2 nights were planned) because its near the praya, all what you need is nearby and you feel so good there. Really holiday feeling and you have the things you need. The team is very pleased to help with everything, bad and roos are cleas, you get fresh towels and the kitchen eqipment has all you can imagine :) Really happy to stay there and I will come again :)
