I was very satified with staying in the hostel in general. Only thing that I didn't like was the room's temperature. It was too cold in the room. However, except for that, it was great staying in Oporto Poets Hostel.

One of the cleanest hostels I've stayed in with an extremeley knowledgable and helpful staff. The dinners are also really good and a nice way to meet peeople. It wasn't the most social hostel I've stayed at, but I was also travelling during off season, so that might have had something to do with it.

The location is perfect to visit the old town, Ribieira and wines caves are only 10/15 minutes walking from the hostel. The staff was nice and helpful and tbreakfast good. The only complain would be about the temperature in the room, a little bit cold

I don´t like the new layout. The reception is in the living room and there is no tv on the main living room.

Thank you for your opinion, Joao. However, we truly believe this mew layout is more confortable for everyone, and improves interacting in social areas. See oyu next time.

Very helpful. Made good recommendations for places to eat, which port houses to visit etc. They arrange a good selection of activities for the evenings. The twin rooms on suite were very good value for money in a competitive field

I don't usually write reviews, but I had such an amazing time at the Poets Hostel in Porto that I had to give a great review. Extremely clean, very helpful staff, amazing views from the top floor, and just about everything you need within walking distance.
