We had a great stay in Rivoli, the breakfast was amazing and the whole feel within the hostel was great, rooms very clean etc and with heaters, added bonus because it was pretty wet and cold outside!,If we come back to Porto,hopefully when it is less rainy we will definitely stay here again.

The hostel is beautifully decorated in a Cinema theme (we were in the "Kubrick" room), the rooms were well organized with two bathrooms and two showers on every floor. The "Parking" mentioned on the page is paid though, the hostel does not have one. One of the staffers, a brunette with long curly hair, was really nice and helpful, and was obviously sorry when we expressed our outrage at not finding the free parking. There are video games and free chocolate cake, and the breakfast is delicious!
