Excellent Hostel. The best I have been so far... They have curtains around the beds, and many, many more details. The terrace was also very nice at the end of a day of visiting beautiful city of Porto.

Tattva is a wonderful hostel to stay in if your in Porto. I loved the staff, so friendly and helpful! The restaurant has great food too. There are always activities to get to know other travelors. Very central near train station. Super clean and rooms are spacious and open and airy. The Tattva hostel is cool artsy and I would highly recommend it to solo travelors.

This is the best hostel that I've stayed at in Europe? Very modern and cozy, the staff are knowledgeable and friendly. The fact that this is the largest hostel in Porto, but that the quality of the accommodations has not suffered is a testament to the management and staff. Would definitely stay here again if in Porto.

Owner Comment (Show)
Hello, thank you for your comment. Hope you had a good time here in Tattva, aside the toilet issue. Just want to add that all of our dorms have 2 toilets and 2 showers in compartments, even the 10 people one. I was checking your reservation, and you were staying in a 8 female dorm, and for that matter its strange how you say that the 10 people dorm have just 1 toilet. But apart of that, hope that you enjoyed, for the one night you were staying with us, all other facilities we have: the bed with curtains and reading light, the aquarium lounge, the restaurant area and the fantastic terrace. And also hope that you took good advantage of our free wi fi all over the builiding or use our computers in the lounge. Hope to see you soon. Regards.Tattva Team

This is by far the best hostel I have ever been. They have curtains around the bed, individual fans, orthopedic matress, powerful showers... Also the design of the common areas ( aquarium lounge, roof terrace, eating area, etc. ) is AMAZING. Very clean.Close to all the main attractions in Porto ( walking distance), and excelent connection to the airport via metro. I arrived from Madrid by plane and had took the bus to Lisbon, which is also 5 mins walk away. Definitely recommend this hostel!

Stupendo! I wish my home was like this... I have travelled a lot and never found a better hostel. Probably one of the best in the world. Shame it was raining, so didn't get to spend time in the sky terrace :(

Location was great, atmosphere was great, staff were great..everything was sooo great! I arrived at the bus station in Porto and I was looking for Sao Bento Station as the direction says so, but I ended up finding this place first. Lol You can get to any place from this hostel easily (Porto itself is small town anyway), VERY clean, and their breakfast were nice too.
