Lovely hostel in the Baleal/Ferrel area. Just keep in mind that it’s not located in Peniche town itself. That said, Baleal is a charming and laid-back little town, and the beach is only a few minutes away.
The shared dorm was spacious enough to comfortably store my belongings, and each bed had its own locker. The bathroom was clean and well maintained. The bed was very comfortable, and the linen was spotless. The kitchen was also very well equipped.
The hostel has great facilities, including a swimming pool, a balcony, and several common areas where it’s easy to meet and connect with other travelers. The only downside was that my room was located directly under the bar, so it could get quite noisy some evenings, even around 11 p.m.
The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. I originally booked a two-night stay but enjoyed it so much that I extended it by three more nights.
I would definitely stay here again. Thanks for a great experience!
