HI Setubal - Pousada de Juventude - CASA DO LARGO
Portugal's youth-hostel network, five minutes from the fish market
About this stay
CASA DO LARGO occupies a bright, renovated building under Portugal's Pousada de Juventude youth-hostel brand, five minutes on foot from the Mercado do Livramento and four from Avenida Luísa Todi. Streamlined dorms and private rooms come with breakfast included, and a sports field on site is a genuine rarity among Setúbal's budget stays. Restaurante O Praxedes sits a minute away for evenings the kitchen is skipped. Free parking, air conditioning and an airport shuttle round out a property built for consistency and value rather than character, backed by the official hostelling association's maintenance standards. The overall package, sports field included, is difficult to match at this price point anywhere else on the south bank, which explains why the hostel tends to book out early during the busier summer months.
- Free parking
- Airport shuttle
- Kid-friendly rooms
- Breakfast included
Our take
This suits budget travellers and families who want a well-run, affordable base close to Setúbal's fish market and riverfront, particularly those comfortable with a dorm-style hostel atmosphere. Travellers wanting a boutique or historic stay should look to B&B Hotel Sado Setúbal instead, since this property prioritizes value and reliability over atmosphere.
- Book through the Pousadas de Juventude network directly for member pricing where available.
- Use the sports field if travelling with kids, it is an unusual extra at this price point.
- Visit the Mercado do Livramento before nine in the morning, before the best catch sells out.
Why we love it

Families get a sports field for children to run around, free parking and breakfast included, which keeps a short stay simple. The Mercado do Livramento fish market is a five-minute walk.
