Of course! In the reservation confirmation you will be sent a personal access code to the building and to your room, which will allow you to carry out a self-check-in.
The next day, you will have to go through reception with the identification of all guests.

To find us more easily, you can use the restaurant “O Avião” as a reference. We stay in front.

Taxi: Costs €10. You can find several at the airport.
Aerobus: The closest stop to the hostel is number 7, and then you just must go up the street behind the fountain until the end, passing by the gas station and the courthouse. The accommodation is in the small street next to a stationery shop with pink posters.

How to explore the island?

We always advise our guests to rent a car. It’s the best way to explore the island!
There are public transports, but the schedules are not always the best, and sometimes they stop far from the most interesting sights.

Yes! Breakfast is included in all reservations.

Does the hostel have a laundry service?

Not at the moment. However, we can recommend a great self-service laundry really close to us!

Can the common kitchen be used by guests?

Of course!
The kitchen is equipped with an oven, electric cooktop, fridge and freezer, toaster and kettle, microwave and all the necessary utensils to cook your meals.
We ask you to respect the rules set out in the kitchen about washing, drying, and tidying up the utensils and crockery/cutlery you used, so that other guests can do the same.
We also have labels and a pen on the fridge door so you can identify your stuff.

Does the hostel have free wifi?

Yes! We have wifi available in the rooms and common areas.

What amenities are available?

Shampoo/shower gel and hand soap dispensers are available in all rooms.

What about towels?

You will find towels in your room, and in the locker (in case of the dorms). They can be changed daily, or only on request.
We also borrow towels if you want to take them to the wonderful thermal pools!

Does the hostel have an elevator?

Do not. All rooms are accessed by stairs, except for the only wheelchair-accessible room on the ground floor.

Do you offer vegetarian/vegan/gluten-free or other options for breakfast?

Yes! Just request before check-in day, and we’ll try our best to provide a varied breakfast.

Are pets allowed?

Although we love animals, we cannot allow them inside the hostel.
Still, you can share with us some pictures of your fur-babies, and we of ours!

Is smoking allowed in the establishment?

No.
We have an outdoor area with some ashtrays that you can use.

Are there really 4 seasons in one day?

Yes, it’s possible…
We are a small island, but the weather varies greatly from one side of the island to the other. Therefore, we always recommend visiting the website spotazores.com to access real-time cameras from the most important points of the island.
