The hostel has a lot of very good points: nice staff, excellent location, very good service for breakfast, roof terrasse The hostel theme (cinema) is well developped : name rooms, poster, movies to watch. BUT The room i've sleeped in was very poorly soundproofed. As many people were hanging around in the night, i didn' sleep very well (pretty badly actually). So if you want to be sure of having of good rest in Porto, don't come to Rivoli hostel. I you want to have fun, go straight there !

The only problem I found was the lack of real hot water.

The place is in the city centre so everywhere we go it was so close, staff are very helpfull and cheerful for us, and the hostel was clean, nice and friendly for people. We really enjoyed our visit, when we'll back in Porto, for sure we'll choose the same place!

Perfect location, perfect condition, friendly staff. During a hot day in the middle of the day, we came back home just to hang out at the hostel, watched tv and surf the internet, took a nap and went out again. Simply awesome!

It is a good hostel. The staff are very friendly and the location is ok although I prefer quieter places. Despite the hostel location, there is no noise from the street (just from the young guests arriving in the middle of night... definitely is a young hostel). The breakfest is simple but very very good, with juice, cereals, breads, cakes... I recommend.

This hostel's interior is very unique so it's funny. Staff is also very kind and the fare is quite reasonable. But it's not easy to find hostel building because it has no sign.

Really lovely helpful friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere, comfortable hostel (both communal areas and beds) and great decor (love the cinema theme). The only thing I would point out is the need to replace the broken lock in one shower stall (important as the showers are unisex). Everything else was just great.

You guys are the best!!! What an excellent stay there, thanks to everyone!!! The whole hostel is very clean, the staff is very helpful. The decoration is great as well as the breakfast. The common areas are really spacious and the terrace is REALLY nice… they even have a small gym!!! The location couldn't be better, located in a safe part of downtown, between the metro and the train station, the historical center and the shopping street, all at a walking distance!! Met a lot of people and had a
