This is the best hostel I've ever stayed in. The dorms are big, the beds are good, everything is clean, including the bathrooms. You feel at home there, because it was made thinking in how it could be more comfortable for the people who would stay there. The dinner is a great way to promove the integration between the guests. And the breakfast is very good as well, with fresh bread, butter, good jam and coffee, tea, juice...

This hostel is wonderful - great staff, worthwhile activities, very clean and very comfortable. My only complaint was that their credit card machine wasn't working, so I unexpectedly had to pay cash, but I'm told theyre waiting on a new machine. I would recommend this hostel to anyone.

There are so many good things about this hostel, from the amazing location and views, fantastic staff, awesome facilities and the great activities that they have organised. The hostel is really stylish and well thought out – it's a little bit like staying in a flash hotel.

The help from the staff was great and the atmosphere was very cool. The place itself is amazing with really nice decoration. Very clean and good price! Loved it! One of the best hostels I stayed on my trip! Made my stay in Porto great (even during a rainy day...), so thankful for that!!

Amazing hostel experience. My wife and i have been travelling around Europe for the past six months, and this was by far the best hostel that we've stayed in. Amazing facilities, clean, great location, lots of space. Try the nightly dinners: great homemade local food!

This was the best hostel I've ever seen! The decor was so warm and welcoming that it felt like home. The showers were always hot, even at 6am, and there was never a line for them. When we stayed there, for 10 euro, we were able to eat their home made dinner (which was AMAZING), have all you can drink wine, and listen to a great Brazilian/Portuguese musician. The staff also gave us great recommendations for bakeries, restaurants, and sights to see.

A fantastic little hostel. It is warm and inviting and has that special Portugese charm. Food was excellent - and I particularly enjoyed the dinner / concert they held on Friday night. The music was wonderful, and the atmosphere was so nice. Staff were incredibly helpful as well, and made you feel part of the family. Only thing I would say is this is not a younger / party hostel - definitely for the older, more discerning traveller.

O Oporto Poets Hostel foi a melhor relação custo-benefício que encontrei em minha viagem recente a europa. A equipe foi muito competente e atenciosa. Me deu boas dicas sobre a cidade, além de muito cortez. Recomendo, sim, a todos que precisam pagar pouco mas não abrem mão de um bom serviço. Damião Gomes

My friend and I spent the most perfect stay in Oporto Poets hostel. We were amazed by our room (with 6 windows and breath taking view) and the caracter of the hostel. The staff was amazily wellcoming and helpfull (thanks to Marguerite). We enjoyed the friday's concert, the garden at Private's pavillon, the people we've met. Definetely the best hostel I've stayed in!
