I’ve stayed at many hostels, and this one easily ranks in my top 3 — truly an exceptional experience from start to finish. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming. Check-in was smooth, and the receptionist even helped carry my luggage to my room (note: there’s no elevator, so that extra help was greatly appreciated). The mini breakfast selection and complimentary coffee available before 10:30am were a nice touch. The entire hostel was spotless, with bathrooms cleaned daily. I also appreciated the generous storage space in the dorms, complete with a secure lock. The location is fantastic — within easy walking distance to Mercado do Bolhão, Avenida dos Aliados, and there’s a nearby supermarket for groceries or water, which you can store in the communal fridge. I made use of the laundry service for €10 and rented a towel for €2, both super convenient. All the photos from the listing were accurate, and the atmosphere felt true to what was advertised. Overall, a great stay and highly recommended for solo travellers!

This didn’t take away from my overall experience, but it's worth noting that the bunk bed in my dormitory squeaked a bit when someone climbed up or down. If you're a light sleeper, I’d recommend bringing earplugs just in case. While the listing does mention that the bunks don’t have privacy curtains, adding them in the future would be a great improvement for guest comfort!

Location is great, easy walk to get everywhere. Breakfast is awesome and a nice way to meet other guests.

Only annoying thing I found; I stayed for 3 nights in a 4 person dorm- which was a pretty cosy space. Both the last 2 nights there were guest check ins very late at night, one at midnight with staff member explaining things about the hostel inside the room at that time.

I arrived in Porto early and the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome right away. They kindly let me access the storage room to grab clothes and even opened the shower so I could freshen up after my flight. Every single staff member I met—especially the guys—was incredibly kind, attentive, and helpful throughout my stay. The common areas were also cozy and well-designed, with a chill, social atmosphere that didn’t feel overwhelming.

Honestly, not much! If I had to mention something, the beds were a little firm for me and the lockers could be slightly more spacious—but overall, those were very minor things.

Stayed in the property for 4 nights. The staff are extremely lovely and helpful, and the hostel is very clean (even the showers + toilets). The hostel is located pretty much right next to the main high street, so easy to get to all the main tourist attractions. Free breakfast in the morning is also a big plus. Overall, Phenomenal value for money, would certainly recommend.

Hard to dislike anything. But the one thing I’d say is that it isn’t the most social hostel. If you’re looking to meet loads of people and make new friends, I’d suggest looking elsewhere. Good if you want a relaxing and cheap hostel with amazing value for money.

It is very big and it is very nicely decorated. It has a nice outdoor area and there is great atmosphere. The beds are very comfy and the kitchen was very well equipped and with enough room to cook comfortably. Also there is a bar where you can buy drinks. The bedrooms are spacious and are cleaned daily and the cleaning stuff even makes your bed, which I think is nice. Unfortunately during my stay it rained all day so I had to stay inside a lot, and it was good to have big common areas to use.

The building doesn’t have a lift (anyway the reception guy helped me with the suitcase). The beds don’t have curtains and the bunks beds are very tall and difficult to climb up to so bear this in mind if you have mobility difficulties. Also they are super noisy when you do so.

The location was great, bed was very comfortable. We had a few hours before our flight after check out and were able to use the facility and work remotely. The couches in the common area were extremely comfy, the kitchen nice and the whole property just very good. Excellent wifi. The cleaning staff were busy for hours making sure everything was spotless. Overall good vibes and a good place to stay.

We had a private room with a bathroom, the toilet seemed to have struggled in the past to stay on the wall and had been fixed with caulk. Everytime we sat to do our business we were afraid that it would fall off the wall completely.

Big kitchen, comfortable living room area and large out door area. My 4 bedroom dorm was up many stairs, I think it was the 4th floor. No elevator. It is a huge hostel like hotel. My 4 bed female dorm wasn't spacious but was not cramped. Big lockers under the bed that you could lock. Bathrooms with multiple toilets and showers separated by gender. Big breakfast with a coffee machine, but coffee did not taste good. Bread & cereals mostly, some fruit if you get there early no protein options that I saw but it was the best hostel breakfast of the three hostels in Porto I stayed at. Nice time to meet other travelers.

No protein at breakfast, maybe some hardboiled eggs? So many stairs.

Great location, very clean and tidy and a decent breakfast. One guy on the desk was awesome, he had amazing customer service. (Long blonde hair and a great personality) the morning after check in we told him about our lost bag and right away he asked for our best contact details, a description of the bag, assured us he’d let other staff know we were waiting on it. He was great!

The initial guy that checked us in (short dark hair) was polite but didn’t have great customer service. The airline lost our bag and the air port had told us to make our accom aware that they will contact them when it’s found and to organise the bag drop off. I tried to tell him that the airport would call the hostel and if he could make the other staff aware that we were waiting on our bag. He just kept saying no one called and proceeded talking about the check in….

The location was great. The is building is beautiful, the common areas are generous and very pleasant, including the yard. The breakfast was OK. All areas were clean and well aired, this room had a nice big window. The beds were comfortable and I slept well, once everyone in the room went to bed. Would book again without hesitation.

The lockers by the bed were very useful, but their location under the bed wasn’t ideal to access stuff. I got a top bunk and missed some kind of handle at the top of the stairs to hoist myself up or to hold myself coming down as the stairs lay directly on the side of the bunk bed so you can’t hold the rungs in your hand. I was traveling light for a short stay so I needed a towel. It cost me 2 euros and the towel was small. I think it’s OK to charge extra for laundry but it should be a bath size towel, not a medium towel.

Everything was more than ok. Bedroom had not only clean sheets and bed, but the overall aspect aswell was very good. The staff seemed more than ok in quantity, and also they were very helpful anytime I wanted, and the breakfast was good for this kind of establishment. It will leave you full for your daily exploration in Porto, which demands a lot of energy. They also have free walking tours in 2 times per morning (I didnt go with them, but it´s worth mentioning), and by night the ambient music was very soft, airy sometimes, with a touch of indie music. They have a small place outside the living room, if you wanna drink, read, or hang out with people, and the reception is opened 24 hours.

During my stay I can't say I disliked anything. For the kind of business a hostel is, they did it pretty good. No complaints at all.
