POUSADA DA JUVENTUDE
Youth hostel overlooking the Douro River and the sea with bright and well-equipped dormitories, private rooms and an independent apartment.
The building is fairly new and has a large capacity of 148 beds. Overlooking the Douro River and the sea, this hostel offers well-appointed and bright dormitories with bunk beds and shared bathrooms, simple but clean private rooms, and an independent apartment for added comfort. Very decent breakfast to start the day. No kitchen, but lunch or dinner is available at an additional cost. For students and small budgets. Friendly reception and available 24 hours a day.

Upon entering, the check in cashier required ALL family member's passports including the Minors who have no association with the booking and is probably some violation of hotel & hostel management laws and our passport data was likely been sold on the black market, however that is beside the point.
Our family got a four person room and to our disappointment, we opened the door to a sad old room that reeked of Lysol wipes from what little they cleaned. The entire building was extremely old and unmaintained. The mens bathroom was ONLY ON THE FIRST FLOOR (Yes, you head me, no bathroom in the rooms). Additonally the bathing area and toilet were in the same area and next to eachother with little to no privacy. Don't bathe here if you have kids. I've been told that there's a breakfast included but I'll be gone before the local roosters are awake.
Do not come with a family unless your expectations are very low or have set the goal of traveling budget friendly. Not for me or anyone in my family but may work for others.
