Great location, very clean. It is so easy to meet people at Rivoli, and they have an awesome rooftop patio that you can use at any time. The 24 hour front desk is very helpful too. Max room size is 4 beds, and is very comfortable with individual lockers. One of the best hostels I have stayed in!!! If you come to Porto and don't stay here, you're missing out.

A great hostel in the city center of Porto, just 5 minutes walk from the train station. Beautiful old house, totally renovated, clean and very nice stuff. Great roof top terrace. Dinner is offered for small money. Go there and feel good and comfortable just as I did!

Nice friendly hostel. the staff were great and the cocktails each night were a nice treat. Loved the posters and the theme of films. Probably not the best hostel at catering for lone travellers and anyone want to easily meet others.

I spent 4 nights at Rivoli Cinema Hostel & absolutely loved the place!! The hostel is very central, the staff is really nice & the roof top is just amazing!! Besides the hostel has so much style and the cosy atmosphere makes it really easy to gather with people. Probably one of the best hostels I've ever been to!

A fantastic hostel...one of the best! Multiple bathrooms and kitchens on each floor, an AMAZING rooftop terrace and bar! The communal area was great with Wii, PS3, computers and good wifi. Loved mojito night and had a big movie night as well which was fun. Fantastic breakfast too! The staff were amazing and very helpful. Excellent location right in town and close to bus/train stations and all attractions. Lockers big enough for packs, excellent security. Would stay here every time in Porto!
