"Design" hostel : a good intention but average execution. The dorms are your regular ugly dorms with bunk beds (without bars to stop you from falling, how nice), too densely packed to sleep when someone is snoring. Free electronic lockers are a nice touch. Breakfast is OK but they sometimes play the music super loud, not cool when you just woke up. "Designer" clothes hangers in the showers don't work at all, and the doors block each other. My friend had his towel stolen while drying up.

Tout simplement une des plus belles auberges de jeunesse que je connaisse. Beaucoup de charme, tout est neuf et très propre. Les dortoirs sont spacieux, on n'est pas empilés les uns sur les autres. Casiers gratuits dans les dortoirs et parties communes. Le petit déjeuner est compris dans le prix, et c'est de très bon niveau. Personnel adorable. Très bien placé, belle vue sur le Douro dans le quartier des caves à porto. Quelques vélos disponibles à la location pour un prix ridicule.

This hostel is definitely not one I'll be booking again, despite the good central location and nice staff. The 8 bed dorms are very small (so are beds) and there are only 2 plugs near the door for everyone. Noisy electric drawers (extra charge) under beds can wake you up in the morning. The floor trembles when people walk, it can wake you up. The showers are collective (hello nudity!). Lifeless lobby with very few plugs near the seats, and you're not allowed to move seats while recharging (!?)

Les très bonnes auberges sont rares, mais celle-là en fait partie. Superbe immeuble, tout est propre, belle déco, vue sur la mer et le pier... Salle commune agreable, salle de bains avec baignoire (!!) Très content de mon séjour.

Aucun problème lors du séjour, l'auberge était presque vide. Toilettes et douches en bon état. Parties communes à moitié en travaux :( Pas de casiers qui ferment, porte du dortoir sans aucun verrou. La lumière automatique du couloir n'arrêtait pas de s'allumer toute seule, agaçant quand on essaye de dormir (le dortoir a une vitre qui donne sur le couloir!?) Le réceptionniste est très sympa.

Impeccable et abordable. Allez-y les yeux fermés. Le hall d'accueil vaut le détour !!

Tout comme le Astor Hyde Park, l'auberge a beaucoup de charme, c'est propre et confortable. Local à bagages qui ferme à clé, nombreux petits casiers (pour téléphone, ordinateur) et grands coffres roulants sous le lit pour les sacs : pensez à prendre votre cadenas ! Petite salle commune très sympa. Petit déjeuner compris dans le prix. À part un des deux WC qui ne marchait plus, bonne auberge. Attention, il faut avoir moins de 36 ans pour pouvoir dormir dans les Astor.

Auberge idéalement placée et pas chère. J'accepterais de payer plus si la prestation était meilleure : la porte du dortoir qui ne ferme pas ou qui claque (agréable la nuit!), pas de casiers dans les chambres, uniquement des coffres payants et assez petits. Une seule douche par étage (en fait c'est 2 douches dans la même salle de bain!? Pourquoi ne pas faire 2 petites salles de bain à la place ?) N'oubliez pas vos bouchons d'oreilles sinon vous entendrez la musique du pub dans le dortoir !

No free wifi, public computers were broken. No keys for dorms, basically anyone staying in another dorm can sneak in yours, better fit all your valuables in the lockers ! Bring your own lock ! Bunk beds are the most packed I've ever seen. The hallway is definitely worth a look (just not for the good reason)

Pray that you get a dorm upstairs : at street level, most windows have no proper vents (some do but mine didn't and in the morning it was like a sauna, with warmth and fog on the entire window!) Most of the beds' metal frames were bent dangerously. Toilets didn't work (yuck). The wash bowl was clogged (yuck). The door was not inspiring confidence. Very bad hygiene overall. Free wifi but no signal in the rooms. Only 2 plugs in a 6-bed dorm. One of the worst hostels I've seen. Nice receptionist.

The dorm rooms on the ground level have a fan system. Unfortunatley for you they were being fixed and replaced during your stay. I can only apologise for this but the fans are now in place for new guests. I have no reports of blocked toilets/sinks or problems with beds. If you report to reception it will be fixed/corrected promptly. The wifi is now fitted in the hostel and will be working in all rooms very soon. I am glad you found the staff nice and am sorry that you had a bad experience.
