The windows were so thin that we can hear the band playing in a bar outside the hostel for the only night we were there!! But the beds were comfy and we had free breakfast. Quick internet access....

It was pretty noisy but that really didn't make a difference to our overall stay. The breakfast was good, the rooms were clean and comfortable and everything was just right for our stay.

The location is good but during the night too much noise due to the fact the hostel is inside the night-life of Porto.

Good location and staff. Only problem is that it's a bit loud outside. Didn't prevent me from sleeping though.

Nice place, friendly staff. The room was a little hot but no major gripe.

Although we were only there for one night, we had a good time here chilling in the common room drinking the inexpensive wine that you can purchase there. The people and staff were great, they let us store our bags for free the next day. The internet is kind of shady, but it was free and there are computers you can use. I never had to wait for a bathroom or shower. The only major con I had was that the directions that they give to find them (particularly from the bus station) are inadequate.

Cool place with helpful staff and clean facilities. My 10 bed dorm looked onto a square which got very noisy on the weekend nights. I don't recommend that room if you're trying to get good sleep.

The hostel is in a very convenient location for fun, maybe too much noise in the adjacent streets. The rooms are nice and clean, the staff pleasant and helpful. Perfect for those who want to stay up late every night
