Situated in Sintra and with Sintra National Palace reachable within 1.4 km, Casa Azul Hostel features a shared lounge, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a terrace. The property is set 3.8 km from Quinta da Regaleira, 6.1 km from Pena National Palace and 6.8 km from Moors Castle. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, and luggage storage for guests.

It's small, cozy hostel with 4 private rooms and 1 dorm, bathroom, 2 toilets, kitchen and 2 common areas to eat and to rest on armchairs or couch. In the dorm is enough space to feel comfortable. All rooms are really well equipped. There are also heaters in rooms so even in February was warm. I didn't see any signs of problems with moisture in hostel - after long trip in Portugal I can tell that is unique. People with alergy or asthma can stay in Casa Azul without any worries. Beds are comfortable, bedding smells delicate and nice. There is also nice terrace. The host - Antonio is super gentle, friendly, helpful and nice person. He is the Soul of Casa Azul. Antonio really care about guests and creates wonderful atmosphere. I extended my staying in hostel and I felt at home. Thanx a lot, Antonio, for creating magical place for tourists in magical Sintra

The Sintra Small Hostel is located 1.2 km from the historical and scenic Sintra centre. This themed hostel features permanent exhibits dedicated to traditional Portuguese household items and is 5 minutes’ drive from the Moorish Castle.

We Loved this cozy little place booked last minute for only one night. Definitely will book again for longer next time for a great value for the price, comfortable, cozy room, the charm of antiques and traditional style home, a very kind host, and good little kitchen and dining/living area to eat in with a view. Simple and sweet. Nice location for anyone who likes to be a bit outside the main town of Sintra. So much quieter and more calm here.

    Special place surrounded by lots of green. Quiet. With lots of space. A huge garden belongs to the house. Have breakfast on the terrace, overlooking the mountains and Sintra. The house has an 80s youth hostel-hotel charme. 10 min drive to the most western point of continental Europe (cabo da roca) with an excellent restaurant Refugio da Roca; 10 min from Monserrat castle, 15 min from Sintra town center. Fantastic, friendly and helpful staff speaking many languages!

    Great location, amazing accommodation. Rooms are spacious and clean, and the bed is amazingly comfortable. Everything is super close to the hostel. Staff is extremely friendly, easy-going and helpful. They give you all the information you need in the spot. Downstairs is a nice cafe with great cakes and food.
