The breakfast could have been better - very watery orange juice and nothing left of the (apperently very good) cake at 9:45h. But, the guest could have got up earlier to catch this. I didn't spot coffee, possibly I oversaw it though.

Anais, the room, was a little cold the first night, but she warmed up as days went by. Good location if you don't mind the hills, which we didn't. Close to Sao Bento railway station, take the suburban trains to Braga, Aveiro. .. which are very cheap. Friendly staff. Breakfast really thin, you'll have to supplement it. We met a number of pilgrims doing the Camino de Santiago Portugues, which was interesting.

the staff are excellent . The facility is very modern and clean The showers have much to be desired. no hot water and the jets created puddles on the floor. They had a free tour of the city which was excellent. Brk was just okay. had better when walking the camino and the price of the facil.ity was equivalent. Overall, I would recommend it

Great hostel in a great location close to the Sao Bento train station. There were not many others when we stayed so the hostel wasn't particularly lively but the facilities were good and it meant we had a good night's sleep. The beds were comfortable, the linen and rooms really clean, and the kitchen was well-supplied. For the price, service provided, and latin I would definitely recommend staying here.

The hostel is very nice and clean, well-decorated. They also provide dinner which only costs 10 euros and free tours. If I have chance to come Porto again, I will stay in this hostel again as well!

Thank you Poets! I loved staying with you. The hostel was very clean & safe. I loved all the little extra touches like artwork on the walls & reading lights for each bed. The staff were lovely & very knowledgable. I especially enjoyed the home cooked dinner that was offered each night for guests and even the staff ate with us with was really nice. I loved the free activites each day - one day it was a walking tour & another day I did a cellar tour. Thanks again, I will definitely recommend you.

We really enjoyed our stay: Very clean rooms and kitchen, heating, kitchen facilities, helpful staff, hostel situated in the heart of the city, short walking distances. We especially enjoyed our walking tour with Henrique, who shared his broad knowledge of the city and its history with us while he took us to the most interesting spots in Porto. Best guide ever, 2 1/2 wonderful hours, all questions answered, absolutely unique!!

It was nice and comfy to stay in Porto with Oporto Poets Hostal. The staff was nice, we had some good and interesting conversation during the dinner, which is served for eight euros every night. I really liked the perfect view from the small balcony all over the city and that all beds were good, strong wood beed with lights. I liked to come again to Oporto Poets Hostal!

The best hostel Ive ever been to (together with the Poets Hostel in Lisbon)!!! Beautiful, super clean and the location is great! just 5 min away from the city center, the night spot and public transportation.The staff was helpful, they showed me how to move around and where to go. The facilities are excellent: cozy lounge area, big kitchen, computers and wifi. Personal lockers under the beds. Downside: few sockets per room... The atmosphere wasn't as good but because of the low season.
