Nice Way Sintra Hostel

Das Hostel liegt nur wenige Gehminuten vom historischen Zentrum von Sintra entfernt und wird durch sehr freundliches Personal geführt. Je nach Ansprechpartner erhält man sehr individuelle und gute Tipps zu Aktionen in Sintra. Das Hostel hat einen netten Garten in dem Abends auch Getränke ausgeschenkt werden. Während unseres Aufenthalts fand ein sehr nettes und geselliges BBQ statt, welches preislich ebenfalls sehr attraktiv war.

Die Erreichbarkeit des Hostels per Auto ist schwierig. Unser Navi hatte im Gewirr der Einbahnstraßen, deren Verkehrsführung sich wohl regelmäßig ändert, erhebliche Probleme.

Lets go in points and then add a short story: 1. Amazing staff- as soon as you get inside the hostel for a checkin you feel like home. 2. Great Breakfast 3. AMAZING shared dinner - was only 12 Euros and it was so good, it got everyone together and broke the ice for many people, like myself. if you go there its a must if you ask me 4. Cool place - the place looks so cool and stylished, makes you feel like you are in some summer camp house or a vacation house 5. Great walking tours - each day they have a walking tour at 10am (ish) and they take you to the castles in a very cool hiking route and give you some history of the city and of the castles. I did it with David and it was amazing, even gave me new info about other castles i've been in the day before I took the walking tour. There are so many other points to add but i'll just write my story and maybe it will give you the picture of what is NiceWaySintra. I came there just to leave my luggage and got out of there with a huge smile and a ton of info about Sintra and activities there. The bedrooms and the place itself (and of course the beautiful garden) makes you feel like you are back to summer camp where everything is from wood and you just want to stay in the hostel to go back to the good memories. It was the first stop for me in Portugal and I was alone on this trip so it was a bit hard to talk with people, but the dinner just made everyone open up and we didnt want to go to sleep , not even at 4 am. We connected so much thanks to that dinner that I got to meet 1 girl from there 2 weeks later on Porto and 2 guys a week after in Lisbon. Something about the shared dinner really gets people to connect. So I think that if you are in Lisbon area and want to go out to nature for 2 days, You should definitely stay at NiceWaySintra. If I could I would go back to Sintra just to stay there for 2 more nights.

The showers are not perfect but good enough

I loved the fact that the bed had curtains. It makes it a more personal space. The social space (garden) was a perfect place for meeting new people!!! The shower was great! Many times I gave up taking a shower because I couldn't lock the door or just didn't have a door whatsoever! This one was complete luxury.

The toilet cubicles were bit uncomfortable. Funnily enough I kept hitting my head to the door every time I tried to squat. Regardless, it was super clean.
