Nice Way Sintra Hostel Hostel

Wonderful staff that illuminates your day with positive vibes and energy. The garden is just perfect to relax in your own space or with everybody on a cool big table. Loved the room and had the best time there.

Friendly, warm, international set of staff who are extremely knowledgeable about Sintra and it's history — they run free walking tours for guests at 10am most days. I stayed in a private room next to the main building, which was quiet and quaintly decorated, with a shared bathroom. We were traveling on bikes and there was ample storage space for these. There were so many highlights of this stay, including a good breakfast of fresh bread, cheese and coffee, proximity to the main square, and a nice outdoor area with beautiful flowers and a bar. The greatest experience for me personally was joining the al fresco dinner that was hosted on the first night. For 12 euros a head they provided a three course meal with wine and port, a great introduction to Portuguese cuisine. If you have the opportunity to go to this dinner, do it!

Best hostel made during my stay in Portugal.
An incredible melting pot, where all origins and cultures mingle, like what!
A space outside super nice (bar, barbecue, …)
A TV area with French channels via satellite.
And most importantly a good bedding for a recuperative sleep after the sporting visit of the various palaces of Sintra, all as beautiful as each other:)

Fantastic staff, amazing views from the rooms. Nice outside area with a hostel bar. People of all ages having a great time. Strongly recommend.

Stay on top, thanks to a great team! It is highly recommended:)

Very good experience considering it's a hostel. The best of all the friendliness and fantastic disposition of the staff. A marvel that the room with private bathroom had a parking space, since in the center of Sintra it is quite difficult to support. We stayed for 3 days and would definitely go back.

My experience at this hostel has been one of phenominal proportions. I feel welcomed by the staff all the time I was there. Often I ahd the chance to cook with other people making various dinners, desserts and other culinary curiosities. The house itself is interesting and teeming with history as is the surrounding area. There is an air of mystery here and all around Sintra and this is where you can come to really connect with people and nature. I would highly reccommend making a visit. The facilities are clean and the showers are nice, the breakfast has really good fresh baked bread and fresh fruit everyday!

Most of my experiences with other hostels is rude behavior and uncleanliness. The Nice Way Sintra staff was so inviting and welcoming the first moment I entered the door. This hostel is located in the historical center of this charming villa. My room smelled fresh and clean with an amazing view of the Moorish castle and of Quinta de Regaleira. I recommend this hostel to anyone who is visiting Sintra Portugal. Will come back again! Thank you Nice Way Sintra!

Great People! Great garden! Great place to chill! Away from the tourist mess but close enough to walk!

Amazingly located this hostel is quiet friendly and beautiful. Beautiful Betty gave us yoga lesson in a morning, perfect stay. Thank you ladies ;)

It is a nice place, with beautiful rooms. The bathrooms are shared which is less nice, but that is clear upfront. This fact does make a cold shower later in the morning quite likely. Nice staff relaxed place.

A quaint youth hostel and nice décor where I had a nice time!
The dorms are very spacious and the beds are comfortable. The bathroom space is however a bit small.
The large garden is relatively nice especially for the summer evenings and even has a small bar.
The breakfast is complete with a wide choice of products offered.
A place I recommend.

Busy hostel with helpful staff ready to dish out tips of nearby trails, sights, hikes etc — free yoga &tea — obviously a major factor of hostels is the people passing through them but whoever is chief has created a lovely atmosphere; cosy living room, very nice garden with shelter and good kitchen too. Bit steep price (15€ a night) but then people would probably say I'm a cheap skate and the amenities are good.

Very nice place to stay, located in the centre of Sintra, great atmosphere, Staff very helpful and friendly. We'w spend two nights in family Jungle room and kids loved it. Highly recommending!

Booked a room with a private bath for a 2 night stay in Sintra. Hostel is just down the hill from the national palace, very centrally located. Keep in mind streets are steep and narrow, be prepared to have cars wizzing by as you walk. There is street parking near by, but it is limited. The room was clean and amenities what you expect from a hostel. Continental breakfast was included.

Fantastic shared bathroom hostel recommended.

I returned to this hostel after changing and going for a walk to being informed that I had been moved to another room. Initially, I wasn't too bothered, but he went on to tell me that he had gone into my locker and moved all my belongings (including my knickers I had placed on top to wash, humiliating) When I expressed my feelings about this it got quite aggressive and rude. Telling me to basically shut up. I have said one thing he doesn't need to hear anything else?. When I explained that he had gone into my locked, private area and moved my private stuff without asking, he got more annoyed. Then went on to lie, saying he didn't do it, his Manager did, as she drove from home especially to do so. Apparently he forgot he told me she was away on holiday. The reason for moving me? they had forgotten that a big group of people had booked and they couldn't fit them in. Another lie. If you want your privacy invaded, stay here.

Our Room was spacious and had a little balcony. There is a small free breakfast in the morning but we decided to have our own because it started too late for us. A drawback was the bathroom. It was cleaned only once in the whole week.

Great atmosphere. Really helpful staff. They really try their best for you to have the best experience in sintra. They are really friendly. Got to meet awesome people here, Portuguese and outsiders. The place itself is a very nice and cozy chalet with a cool garden to hang out and have lunch or dinner. They make these dinners for all guests to enjoy, plus free breakfast.

A charming and vibrant hostel with a great vibe and friendly staff. Although we stayed in a private room in a slightly dodgy apartment building a couple doors down, I'd still recommend for a short stay.

Located in a scenic winding road, the hostelprovides a warm environment and EVEN an outdoor bar. I definitely recommend the hostel. Also, the printer is available for use (. 20 euros per page printed)

It seems to stay at home, loving staff and super cozy environment.

Good, well run hostel in centre of Sintra. Bathtub!

NEGATIVE POINTS : i) sullen/moody German (perhaps she was just being German, I've experienced this type of thing before) receptionist — lacking any outward friendliness or interest in her job. Also without any real knowledge of the area — I. E. Unable to give recommendations for restaurants. Perhaps she needs some traiing in customer service? Shed been there for 2 weeks, you do your research understand the area, or what are you doing working in that specific role. You should be a fountain of knowledge. I suggestion she undergo a reducation programme and visit all attractions in the area. She demonstrated a complete lack of interest of passion for either the region or the job. She was working in. Perhaps I'm wrong, perhaps it's because she's German, but her attitude was of relative disinterest or indifference. If she'd puzzled or interested to know why I shld be writing such things perhaps she should review very carefully at least 6 Incidents that took place — re: her reaction to various situations etc. ii) perhaps it's a little unfair but another staff member — an American also seem to very little knowledge of the area and I'm sorry to say had a very loud, intensely irritating New Yorker accent, which after a while is a bit tiresome… iii) Dormitory rooms on 2nd floor are next to the bathroom — perhaps I was unlucky but my bed next to bathroom — sound insulation not so good, could hear everything.

Amazing funky hostel. Great staff, very friendly, and great facilities. Wonderful garden and common areas and great Wi-Fi and breakfast! Will stay here again when I return to Sintra!

A good place where we passed 3 night with our 2 children. Staff great, places for meetings, beautiful remains or one quickly feels uncomfortable, deco original and correct price. A great base for visiting Sintra.

Stayed for 2 weeks. Rooms were large, bright, and clean. Large garden, with campfire. Lounge was very social and well decorated. Bathrooms did not match the quality, were poorly constructed cubicles. Cornflakes and toast for breakfast. Staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable about local area. Location is perfect, in the centre of the attractions.
