Hostelworld says

The Cats Porto Party Hostel is located just around the corner from Sao Bento metro station and the funicular. It features a large rooftop terrace, a full kitchen and rooms which are all ensuite. We particularly like their bunk beds, with individual reading lights, power and usb sockets and underbed lockers. Hostelworld guests have highly recommended this hostel and say they?d stay here again; one guest told us, ?my favorite place was a terrace where we could sit in the evening having a drink and chatting with friends?.

Was not an area that felt safe nor were the facilities clean. The facilities always had an unpleasant smell and I just did not feel good staying here one bit. Would not recommend it at all

I wanted to stay at the nearby hostel but they had age restrictions so they recommended Cats. I liked everything, silent doors! I stayed at 6 bedroom room, it had it's own 2 bathrooms. Clean. Fresh air all the time. The safety box is spacious, can fit your luggage. You need padlock. Friendly, helpful staff. Great music. I had to leave early at night to catch a 3m bus at 3am to the airport. The staff was there all the time. The bus was on time. All was smooth. Next time definitely Cats.

Cats Hostel Porto says

I'd say our most unique features are our beds, each of which has orthopaedic mattresses, curtains, an individual fan, a reading light and a power socket. Plus there's ensuite bathrooms in all rooms. Did I mention our three-metre tropical aquarium? All the main attractions are within walking distance from our hostel. Within two minutes you can get to Se Cathedral, the Douro River, D. Luis Bridge, Sao Bento train and metro stations and the Rede Expresso bus service . I particularly recommend visiting the port wine caves in Ribeira de Gaia. They're about 15 minutes' walk away. Being the largest hostel in Porto, and having such a wide range of amenities and activities, we would say that this is not a traditional party hostel, although the night spots are only 10 minutes away. The main age group of our guests is between 25 and 35, but we have had had happy guests from ages 12 to 60 - many of our guests had never stayed in a hostel before. We can accommodate up to 15 people at a time who need disabled facilities. The entire building and all the common areas are accessible to them; we have an elevator and a wheelchair elevator platform.
