Hostel Santantão

Visitors to Évora, Portugal, who are in search of good value accommodation in a central location would do well to check out the Hostel Santantão. The hostel is centrally located in the Praça do Giraldo, the main square in the centre of town that has played a pivotal role in its history and culture since its heyday in the sixteenth century.

The Hostel Santantão is named after the nearby St. Antão church and is located in a century-old building that has been fully and carefully restored. The accommodation in the hostel is clean and spacious, offering excellent value for money considering its city centre situation.

Each of the rooms is pleasantly decorated in bright and cheerful colour schemes and boasting free Wi-Fi access, and there is plenty of communal space in which to relax, watch television, enjoy the views, make friends and share stories with fellow guests about your adventures in Portugal.

A selection of room types is available, from dormitories, shared rooms and private twin rooms. Thanks to its location just 300 metres from the prestigious university of Évora, the hostel is popular with students as well as travellers and tourists who prefer to save the bulk of their budget for exploring the local area rather than on five-star accommodation.

The wide terrace offers excellent views out over the UNESCO World Heritage city and its ancient walls or if you prefer to stay inside the communal lounge has a wide selection of books in various languages available for guests to borrow during their stay.

There is a 24-hour front desk service and luggage storage is offered for guests who arrive before checkout or are scheduled to leave late in the day, in order to help them get the best out of their time in this lovely area of Portugal.

The Hostel Santantão is ideally situated for exploring Évora on foot, with the city walls close by and the famous Capela dos Ossos just 200 metres down the road. One of the most enjoyable ways of exploring Évora and the surrounding area is by bicycle and the friendly staff will be delighted to provide you with advice on sightseeing routes and organising bicycle hire from a reliable provider in town.
