I absolutely loved the time i spent in the hostel. The only "problem" I had was the Internet signal that was too weak on the second floor and wasn't working properly inside the room (room 24), it was a bit annoying but not a big deal.

Good location, awesome staff, tasty breakfast - what more can you ask for for only 10 euros a night?? Also this is the only hostel I've ever been to which had a grill on the terrace, good opportunity to make a nice BBQ along with some local Porto :) They also have a free table football :)

The hostel was massively hard to find, and several of the other people I met agreed, I suggest looking it up carefully before you get there. Otherwise the hostel was excellent! The locks were all electronic and keyed to a wristband that you were given. Breakfast cost 2 euros but was massive and good selection. The staff there were super friendly, and didn't mind me asking questions all the time. Super location as well, close to two metro stations and the main downtown avenue.

Pilot was a good hostel and I would stay there again. It was close to the main square and sights. The staff were helpful with recommendations. And it was an overall good place to stay. Not much of a good spot to hang out and relax in the rec room, but it was great.

This is mostly a great hostel. Very clean, very cool looking, with a good bar. It's in a perfect location and the staff are excellent. There are three things they could improve: 1) It's very annoying to have to keep pressing the button to keep water going while in the shower. It probably saves water, but it's VERY ANNOYING. 2) The walls are kind of a depressing color of gray- lighter would be better. 3) The reservation should come with good directions- it's a little difficult to find.
