Hostels in Vila Franca de Xira

Very clean, good smell, aesthetically pleasing and nicely decorated. Check-in was smooth, with a lovely short tour of the building and up to the room. Also sharing some details about the area. The hostess checking us in came across very inviting and definitely knows how to accommodate guests or weary travels alike. The third day of our stay we came back to a clean room, fresh soft towels. The bathroom was tidy, well cleaned and done by someone with an eye for details. I overall really enjoyed staying here, the location too is great. Staying 40 mins out of the center of Lissabon is the way to go.

Great location and an excellent breakfast

Quintessential Portuguese guesthouse with lovely, quirky botanical interior. We stayed in Boho room 3, it had a lovely view of the pretty local market building (which was lovely for breakfast). The bed was really comfy and the sheets felt lovely. There was a small seating room which looked out onto the small town area. You could sit here, enjoy the breeze, read a book and people watch. It was so lovely to see how the locals spend their time, greet each other and how friendly they are. The town itself is very small and traditional but it has some great history and plenty of things to see. I would recommend staying here in October when they let the bulls run through the streets. That would be an amazing experience! The local Corridas del Touros is a 6-minute walk away, and they also have bull fights in the October where you can book online. There is a deep Matador traditional and history in the town and when you do the research, you actually find out that the bull and the Matador serve a great purpose and that is protect the current live stock at the farm from an aggressive bull. Aggressive bulls could kill the whole herd and possibly farmers too so they have to be found and killed. It sounds harsh but the bull is not killed in public and nothing of the bull goes to waste. The meat is sold at a high price with a certain percentage going to the poor and the community. It has changed our view of this traditional from cruel to necessary. There are two small museums in the area, one about a Matador's life and one about the traditional of bull fighting. If it hadn't been for the Alma do Vinho wine festival (once a year, 20 mins away), we probably wouldn't have ever found such a charming little town. It was definitely nice to experience and there are some nice local walks with a huge river next to a park. We would definitely stay again.

Great place! Plenty of space, nice kitchen, bathroom and outdoor areas. Very clean!

The staff, cleanliness, and comfort of the hostel were at the highest level. I felt at home. In fact, the hostel is located on the floor of a house, and the kitchen is very cozy with a beautiful view. I chose this location because of the price and proximity to the airport.

The hostel is very close to the airport. The room was clean. We stayed one night, arrived late, left early, so we didnt see any of the staff.

Adorei o atendimento. E a dormida

I had to leave early in the morning. The staff prepared a takeaway box of breakfast for me. Thanks a lot.

Exactly what I was hoping for after a long few days travelling. Very welcoming and helpful.

Very, very comfortable bed! Nearby the containers there is a separate kitchen with all you need to prepare the food yourself
