I rated Security "Average" because in our room, our key could open any of the four lockers of the room.

I recommend with full confidence. Good quality with reasonable price. The hostel is clean, cozy, although it is quite loud when it's a party in a bar next to :) Hostel Staff is very friendly and helpful. Hostel is located in the old town center, close to everywhere on foot. Numerous bus stops and subway nearby.

Great Hostel! Clean and nice rooms, excellent location and very skilled and friendly staff. They always have tips and help you in every situation, their English is perfect and they mostly speak some more languages as well. Offered activities are fun and daily dinners in the hostel are cheap and delicious. I would always come back! Thanks!

I'm not putting Excellent in enerything, because I think that for such a great atmosphere is normal to have lower security levels. Let's say all the facilities are open to everyone, except your room if it is not shared. And in your room there is no safe that you can use... that is why; but for a hostel it's definitely great. Great people. Also, facilities are hostel facilities, as they should be. I am not putting excellent because it's normal that a hostel don't have a luxury king size bed.

Très agréable en raison de sa petite taille : atmosphère familiale et très bon accueil. Merci pour l'aide apportée dans la localisation, réservation des lieux où nous souhaitions nous rendre. Il est juste dommage que peu de personnes parlent français compte tenu du flux important de francophones.

Excellent hostel for me!!!! If I visit Porto again, I will use this hostel again!! Just one thing that Wifi wasn\'t able at the room was inconvenient.

In general we had a really good impression of the hostel. The only problem was that we had lots of ants in our room :(.

Dear Renata, ants are not a plague, and that only happens when someone takes food to the room. We clean everyday every room, and on your check-out we didnt noticed any ants in the room. Thank you.

Had a fantastic time in both Poets hostels Lisbon and Porto. They are more than just a places to cruch into a bed. Warm and pleasant environment of both hostels offers best opportunity to socialise or simply mind your own bussines and read a book. Staff is happy enough to introduce travellers to local people. High standard of Poets made an impression.
