4 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — Guests traveling with animals cannot bring them, which may be limiting for some.
  • Breakfast may be limited for gluten-intolerant guests — One review notes the breakfast is good but lacks options for those avoiding gluten.
  • Shared bathrooms in some rooms — While spotlessly clean, some guests may prefer en-suite facilities.
  • Reception hours might need planning — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 23:00, so late arrivals could be an issue — though staff allow early check-in when possible.

“Absolutely loved my stay at this hidden gem! The staff were friendly and accommodating, allowing for an early check-in and providing a comfy room. The hostel had a beautiful mountain view that I woke up to every morning, creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The shared bathrooms were spotlessly clean and the entire place was well-appointed, feeling like a 'home away from home.' Plus, the location was perfect, with the metro station just a short walk away and plenty of local restaurants and cafes nearby.”

“I stayed at Casinhas No Carolina for a week and felt welcomed and comfortable throughout my entire stay. The owners, Miguel & Sara, were incredibly kind and thoughtful. Sara prepared the most amazing breakfast based on my preferences, which was the best I've ever had in any hostel. The hotel is very clean and located near a Metro station, with plenty of local restaurants, stores, and cafes nearby. The residential area is safe and the little yard where we had breakfast felt like it came straight out of a fairytale. Can just recommend this hotel.”
