Good Mood Hostel, nestled in the heart of Évora at R. de Aviz 93, offers travelers a vibrant and uniquely designed stay that perfectly matches the city’s historic and lively spirit. With a solid rating of 3.6, it balances affordability and comfort while catering to guests seeking cultural immersion and easy access to local attractions.
The hostel’s atmosphere radiates good vibes, as echoed by guests like Eugénie Chéreau who highlights its welcoming and energetic environment. The interior showcases a diverse and intriguing design, thoughtfully arranged to serve the needs of travelers, even if some facilities show signs of wear. This lends an authentic, lived-in charm rather than a polished, sterile hotel experience.
Practicality shines through in its amenities: free Wi-Fi ensures connectivity, family-friendly policies broaden its appeal, and some rooms come equipped with kitchens, allowing for flexible dining options.

Its location is a standout advantage. Guests benefit from close proximity to points of interest and convenient parking options.

A lively street with cobblestones adds to the authentic experience, though it can bring noise, especially when the jazz bar downstairs is active or under renovation, as noted in some reviews.
The hostel caters thoughtfully to its guests, offering earplugs to mitigate ambient noise and allowing everyone to tailor their experience comfortably. Live jazz music fills the air, adding an artistic rhythm that complements the city’s cultural fabric and enhances evenings at the hostel.

We got to park our motorcycles in front of the hotel. The place has a very diverse and interesting design. Facilities are a bit tired but well thought through. Twin room doesn't have AC. Very good location regarding access to places of interest. The cobblestone street next to the hostel is rather busy and noisy. Unfortunately the music bar downstairs was closed. There seemed to be some renovation works going on.
Really good hostel with amazing vibes! I really recommend it
Good prices and great location! Just next to a bar where there is usually life music. They generously offer earplugs to avoid noise to sensitive people during the night, but personally I was on the top floor and I didn't need them. Also, The jazz music they play is wonderful. There is a free parking area outside the wall of evora, 5 minutes walking from the hostel
