Summary of reviews related to the 'Accessible' categoryWOT Ericeira Surf Hostel receives mixed feedback regarding accessibility for guests with disabilities. On the positive side, the venue offers free parking with easy access right in front of the hostel, making it convenient for those traveling by car.

However, several challenges were highlighted. The location is at the top of a steep hill, which could be problematic for those with mobility issues and it is too far to walk to the city center conveniently. Despite some accessible features, the hostel is not fully accommodating for wheelchair users. Access for wheelchair users is possible only via a steep ramp with high curbs, making it less practical for some guests.
