Well located social hostel with good workspace

The hostel was fantastic. The coworking space is good and enough space for multiple people. The kitchen is very well equipped and has good equipment. The balcony and pool/restaurant area are great; beautiful for a sunset and enjoyed the sunset DJ set one night. The location is great as its right in town and the hostel has been very social so there you can meet lots of people.

Great location, but not the best remote working spot

We’d booked to stay in Boavista for 10 nights during our trip to Ericeira, but moved to Praia Do Sol after 2 nights. The location is great and the property is nice, but a couple of things to be aware of if you’re deciding from the 3 properties they have in Ericeira… - Although there are private rooms (which we stayed in), the majority of guests are staying in dorms, so it definitely has more of a hostel feel - The social scene was hard to break into if staying in a private room. Even though this has probably been the busiest Outsite I’ve stayed at so far, the WhatsApp group was dead, as due to the nature of the hostel rooms, I suppose lots of guests were organising social activities whilst in their dorms. - The kitchen was tiny! It was a bit of a struggle just to make a coffee if there was one other person in the kitchen - You could hear everything going on outside your room, which wasn’t great when other guests were coming back at 3am and chatting loudly/playing music - The work space was also pretty small and right in the entrance walkway, as well as by a toilet which must’ve served the dorms. Lots of people staying in the dorms were taking their work calls from this area, so it was pretty noisy and not a good work environment. Overall, a great location, but if you’re working whilst you’re staying, I’d recommend the Praia Do Sol location where the social scene was also much more inclusive.

Incredible if you're looking for a laid-back vibe!

The location is perfect, walking distance from lots of cafes, the beach, and restaurants. This was actually my first time in Ericeira and I absolutely loved it. The beaches are really nice, the town has a really cool laid-back vibe, and I can’t wait to visit again. I had a private room which was lovely. It came with a big bathroom, plenty of space to store my clothes, and a desk to work from. The Wi-Fi is brilliant, genuinely really fast, which obviously matters when you’re working remotely. I also had my own outdoor space with a table and chairs, which would have been great for working outside if I’d been staying longer. In terms of workspaces, the private room setup was perfect, and you can also work from other areas such as outside in the restaurant area, which was ideal when the weather was good. The events were a real highlight for me. I went to the yoga which was a perfect way to meet people because it was tied in with coffee afterwards so allows for a really natural way to make conversation after the class. The food at the restaurant was really nice as well. It’s a tiny bit more expensive than the places nearby in town, but the food was delicious and you’re definitely paying for the quality. I also went to the community dinner, which was really well thought out and a great way to spend the evening. This was my very first time trying Outsite and based on this experience I am definitely excited to try out their other locations.

I stay in Boavista ericeira some days and was really cute and calm. The view of the terrace was insane, and for working there is perfect. The location was really good to go to the town walking, a supermarket in the corner. Everything really nice! My first experience and I love it. Then I have the change to see the villas in ericeria and they are a nice upgrade. Next time I would love to stay there!
