This was a really nice, comfortable place to stay in Ericeira. I was there for 5 or 6 days. I don't know how it compares for price against other lodgings in the centro historico, but probably pretty favorably or I wouldn't have booked a stay here in the first place (I generally stay in more economical or mid-range places). Casa dos Cucos is sort of a hybrid hostel-hotel: my private room was amply sized, two big windows, two twin beds; bathrooms are shared but there are enough, so no traffic jams; a couple of large common areas with big tables; a large and excellently appointed shared kitchen, with a dishwasher, no less. The place, in an old building just off Old Town's main square, Praça da Republica, was beautifully renovated and simply and tastefully furnished, and even includes a small patio outside the kitchen door. And as can happen at the more fun hostels I've stayed at over the years, I met and had some great conversations with a few of the other guests, interesting people from all sorts of different places. This is less apt to happen if you're in and out in just a night or two, of course. The hostel even puts bathrobes in the rooms, for getting to and from the bathrooms. A very nice touch, and I got a good laugh from it. I am quite a large man, almost 2 meters and 115 kg. The bathrobe barely reached to the critical areas and wouldn't close around my waist. Not even close. It might have fit my 9-year-old granddaughter. Maybe. Not a problem, for sure a good laugh. To characterize a bit further: As I was hiking down the steep hill from the bus station to Casa dos Cucos in the rain, I contacted Miguel to let him know I was about 20 minutes from checking in, as he had asked me to do. Unbidden, he called me back, figured out where I was, told me to stay put for a couple of minutes, and came to pick me up in his car! How cool was that for him to do?

It is possible that you can withdraw because of the venetian blind, even if you sleep with 7 others in one room. Moreover, the member of staff cleaned the room often - so you always felt comfortable.

Excellent staff, check-in was very smooth. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant after check-in, and the meal was delicious. Restaurant staff were very friendly and a pleasure to deal with. Would highly recommend eating there. Great food at a great price. Our hotel room and bathroom were clean and very roomy compared to paris hotel rooms for sure. Bed was very comfortable. I don't have a negative thing to say about our stay.

So perfect! The pool and set up is amazing. Lots of space and super comfy beds. Plenty of outdoor space including a patio for the yoga classes. Really recommend Ali's morning vinyasa! The property also has surf classes at the beach.

All hostels in Sintra

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.

Lovely private room in the hostel, clean, safe, with an amazing host. Great kitchen, dining room and roof terrace. The shared bathroom was a little annoying just because of the number of users needing one room, but I knew what I was signing up for from the beginning. The location is wonderful not far from the train station, with a supermarket on the nearby street and only a 20 min walk to Sintra old town. Would absolutely stay again.

Really good facilities, a good kitchen and common areas. Everything was kept clean, staff were nice. Great location for day activities however there is not much to do at night (this has nothing to do with the hostel, just an observation).

Greatest host I've ever encountered in a hostel, great communication, very welcoming, introduced everyone which really broke this ice with the other guests. House was clean, comfortable, relaxed, secure and safe. Couldn't have asked for more. First totally full marks I've ever given. Even had what an Irish man like me would call tea, a rare treat in Portugal sometimes lol
