Ljmonade Hostel

In a quiet neighbourhood some 900m southwest of the train station, this Ukrainian-run hostel has the best traveller vibe of Cascais' budget options. Dorms come in four-, six- or seven-bed varieties (mixed and separate) but low, vaulted ceilings may be tough on basketball and volleyball players. A sunny terrace, big shared kitchen and free nightly wine are big pluses here.
