    If someone asks me what was the best thing you did during your trip in Portugal, I will definitely choose only one thing. Staying in GIG Hostel! As there was no one except for me during my staying, all the host members of GIG hostels had time to spend with me and did so many things (Surfing, Eating, Drinking, Sightseeing and Talking a lot, and so on) Most of all, They treat me like a friend not just a tourist. They tried to understand me and my country. I could feel their heart. So I can do, eat and play what they usually do in daily life. especially the quarta-feira louca! I drunk a lot and met so many friends at that night. All things that I have experienced in Ericeria make me fall in love with Ericeria and Portugal. The hostel was also good to stay. It was a dormitory with six beds but each beds are separated like a private room. Leo said to me that inspired by Japanese capsure hotel, He designed GIG hostel. So you can feel too cozy to do nothing but just laying when you are in the beds

    Spotlessly clean and very well designed. Lots of privacy. One of the best hostels I've stayed at.

    This is by far the nicest hostel I've stayed at in my 10+ years of travel. It's spacious, clean and welcoming. The staff are helpful and friendly. They have a great restaurant and the included breakfast is to die for. A very modern and forward thinking approach to hospitality.

    Words can't describe my days in GIG hostel. It was the most amazing experience in my life. First of all, I didn't imagine that Ericeira would be so fantastic city like that. It's cute town with the Portuguese style like everything blue and white with tiles everywhere. Well the hostel is in the heart of Ericeira, 2 minutes walking to the beach and 4 minutes walking to main square where is open market on the weekend, shops, restaurants, bars and everything you need. The staff gave me all support I needed during my stay in the hostel. I went to Portugal on my own but I didn't feel alone at all. On my first day, Raquelita set down with me to show me the map of the city and gave me the best options of restaurants and things to do, and she brought me to a Portuguese restaurant in the lunch which was so delicious. She told me the avarage of the prices for each restaurants for me be ready but the most of restaurants that she recommended to me were really cheap and the food was so yummy! They recommended me To go to Sintra the city an hour from ericeira (such a incredible experience), they told me all coordinates and the things I shouldn't miss. To be honest Gig hostel is more a hotel than a hostel. I have never seen a hostel that is so organized, cleaned every day, give you a fresh towel everyday, fruits, fresh water and breakfast includes and a good company coz they were everyday inviting me to go to locals restaurants to know a little bit more about the culture and the Portuguese food, what made me feel at home. The staff knows about everything you wanna do, yoga, surf, night clubs, massage, everything and if you don't know what you wanna do they just recommend it. Oh..and the pictures in the website is exactly the same what the hostel is! The shower is so good, I used to spend long time in there, they have a terrace that you can hang up your dry clothes like biquini and stuff and you can also get a tan coz they put some chair for you lie down. I was really impressed with everything. The best experience ever.

    Best hostel I've ever stayed at. The location couldn't be better and everything is super clean. Comfortable beds with blackout curtains, a duvet, towels and lots of space to store your stuff.
