Old Evora Hostel

We met an old Pilgrim hiker; he has been walking for the past 25 years through Europe, Africa, SW Asia, and Central and South America. In offering him a night in the Old Evora Hostel, we were on the receiving end of our gift. A roof, bed, shower, and laundry were all available at the hostel. When we arrived, we met Mafalda at the reception desk. She was invaluable, giving us all a tour and assuring the Pilgrim that food left behind by others was available in the fridge. She showed our new friend genuine kindness and consideration. He expressed his gratitude to all of us, though Mafalda’s kindness multiplied our small generosity many times. The joyful and engaging fellow Pilgrim was living his life by choice. Mafalda was gracious in her assistance and took the time to treat the Pilgrim with respect and compassion. We have a lifetime memory of her and the Pilgrim sharing the dignity of each other’s presence. Thank you, Mafalda, for an uplifting moment from your good nature and kind spirit. You are one of a kind and will be remembered.

All tidy and clean. Breakfast included. The beds a little uncomfortable but to spend a great couple of days. Shared bathrooms but all very well maintained. Although they had no heating in the bathroom and had to carry the heater in the room. All very close and the same center. I would repeat again

Old Evora Hostel was the perfect place! The owner was lovely! She was incredibly accommodating and happy to help in anyway she could. She made sure everyone had enough for breakfast and was always accessible. The beds and rooms are incredibly clean as well as the bathrooms. This is a great place for families, friends, couples and solo travelers. My friend and I really enjoyed our stay!
