Great location, nice relaxed set up , pool and beach is just 100m. Nice staff and good breakfast.
Quiet time is after 10pm yet roof bar music, singing and dancing went on till midnight and was right above the room. Not a place for an early night.
Date of stay: October 2023
Room Tip: Avoid if you want an early start
Trip type: Travelled solo

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback, we took it to our staff to be more conscious of the noise. It seems like overall, apart from the noise, which was not until late hours through the night, you had a good experience. 2 stars does not reflect a good experiencie.
Hope to see you again soon.

          This hostel is a real gem.
          I and my wife Kathryn enjoyed 3 nights in Mute and I have to say I was seriously impressed.
          The location is simply fabulous with the ocean right on the doorstep, and superb, easily accessible coves a few minutes walk away.
          Breakfast was a real treat, and the staff were so helpful and accomodating.
          We stayed in room number 1 that was perfect for our needs and opened out directly to the lovely sun lounge and pool area.
          A perfect place to relax after a days walking, swimming or shopping in the busy town centre.
          Overall a really positive experience for someone like me who, at (hopefully a young) 73 years of age had never stayed in a hostel before.
          Thank you Mute for a truly unforgettable 3 days/nights spent with you.
          Best regards,
          Philip (and Kathryn) Shaw (Ireland).

          They say the hotel is sustainable, but how is that possible when the furnishings are mostly Ikea materials?

          In addition, the finish is worthless. Poor quality sanitary facilities. The door to the hotel has to be opened by force because it is jammed. The room is much too small for two adults. Breakfast is very bad.

          The only positive thing is that the staff is friendly.

          Room tip: For one night's stay in transit, perhaps OK.

          Hi,

          Thank you very much for your feedback. We barely have any furniture from Ikea, most of our furniture was tailler made from local suppliers. Regarding the quality of the facilities we are constantly working on improving them.
          Thank you very much,

          {PT} É ótimo para quem não gosta de dormir e para gosta de um mau atendimento.
          O quarto não tem isolação nenhuma, não conseguíamos adormecer com o barulho e acordávamos as 7 e meia com o barulho dos funcionários logo pela manhã.
          Os funcionários namoriscavam os clientes.
          Este é um verdadeiro hostel que aparenta ser hotel.

          {ENG} It’s great for those who don’t like to sleap and for those who like bad employees.
          The room doesn’t have sound isolation to the hall and it was hard to fall a sleep with all the noise the other guests and employees were making and woke up at 7 a.m with employee’s noise in the morning.
          The employees were always flirting with the clients and there was always kinda hippie enviroment.
          This is actually an hostel masked as an hotel.

          Olá,
          Muito obrigado pelo feedback.
          Somos efectivamente um Hostel e não tentamos ser outra coisa, até no nome MUTE Hostel está explicito o que somos. O facto de aparentarmos ser um hotel acredito ser um elogio ao nosso espaço, decoração e localização espetacular, talvez a sua má experiência se deva ao facto de pensar que ia ficar alojado num Hotel.
          Reforçámos no entanto junto da equipa os seus comentários para que possamos continuar a melhorar a experiencia dos nossos hospedes.
          Obrigado,
