Very nice and clean hostel. The cinema style is great. The athmosphere is like being at home and very nice. I enjoyed the karaoke evening and party up on the roof top the other night! I totally recommend this hostel if you stay in Porto!

The hostel was amazing! Everything about it was great- the staff, the breakfast, the lounge, our room..etc!! The place was so clean, especially the shower! The cleaners appeared to be working 24/7. Would recommend and stay there again.

Hostel is in the centre of porto with a very nice terrace and a friendly staff. It's clean and save. Especially the rooms (living rooms, kitchen...) are cool.

I have been on the road for 3.5months and this is probably the best hostel I have stayed in. The staff are friendly, helpful and organise a social event each night. The themed rooms are fun and the common room is very homely and funky. But by far the best thing is the roof top terrace. It even has a small wading pool for sitting in on those hot afternoons.

On Friday night I was not able to sleep as our window was facing the main road and people were partying whole night.
