Alojamiento Camino Portugues Oia

Clean, good location. Beds made with real sheets.
Washer out of order. But I still liked the place.

I stayed here for 2 nights because I couldn’t find accommodations for the next locations (took a rest day). On my second morning, I woke up around 6:15 and found a bedbug on me. It was MASSIVE. I left immediately and walked to the nearest laundromat. Spent the day drying everything on high heat. Hopefully that gets rid of everything, but I didn’t have any bedbug issues before this stay. SUPER dark and damp in there. Probably why they live in there

موقع لا يضاهى. كنا اكثر من ١٠ نزلاء على الشرفة نستمتع بمشاهدة الشمس وهي تختفي في البحر عند الغروب، لا بل كان البعض يأخذ الصور لتخليد تلك اللحظات الجميلة التي لن تتكرر لهم في موطنهم الأم.
بابلو يتكلم الانكليزية بطلاقة وهمه ارضاء النزلاء.
على بعد أمتار يوجد مطاعم تقدم وجبات من البلاد وبأسعار زهيدة. أنا جربت وجبت سيكريتو إسبانيكو، لذيذة جدا. أما اللذين يضعون تعليقات سلبيه فيكنهم النزول إلى الفندق المقابل ودفع ٢٠٠ يورو بدل ال١٥ التي دفعوها هنا.

I would recommend staying somewhere else if you can, but I liked my bed and that is important. But I think it would have been worth splurging on a hotel for me given the nicer hostel was full.
Other pros:
-kind front desk staff
-restaurant choices- I loved my dinner
-lights and power in the bunks

Cons:
-everything except the beds seem super worn out, neglected, and dilapidated. I felt annoyed, thinking that with a moderate amount of effort could be better. It also reminds me of feeling depressed since I associate neglect of physical spaces with depression.
-for example, they are using the main common space as storage for unused beds, cordoned off by caution tape
-the floors were visibly dirty. The kitchen looks like it was once lovely, I used it and a very big bug was crawling around the sink.
-people were not using the indoor common space, presumably bc it was too depressing.
-signs to keep backpacks off beds include pictures of bed bugs
-rusted keys and locks
-the day I went the fridge was broken.

Not the most modern, but everything in working order. Clean, great front desk stuff (helpful, courteous, speaks excellent English).We had a great view at the ocean. We ate at the bar in town. Was pretty good and reasonal priced. Limited food options. There is no grocery store, but there is a limited sortiment at the gas station.

Very simple alberge with all the necessities. Washing machine 4 euros. Kitchen with all the equipment. Clean beds with sheets and pillow cases. Clean showers. Located on the main road. Helpful host at the reception!

Very simple and worn out. Expensive. Washing machine and dryer available. Together 7€.
Located on the main road, noisy.
No catering facilities. No supermarket

Not too many choices in town. Beds are reasonably priced, and are large and comfortable. Very sturdy, no squeaking. Showers were nice and clean. The reception staff was very pleasant and helpful. Unfortunately, there were a lot of flies in this albergue as well as ants. We checked in at 1:00, and had to wait for the rooms to be "ready" until 2:00 p.m. we were told that floors were drying. From 1 to 2:00 p.m. the cleaning lady was standing around talking in a very loud voice. Later I had discovered that the ants have gotten in my pack, and I killed over a dozen ants after shaking out my pack and its contents.
