Being Porto Hostel

The staff was super nice! The issue was more with our specific room. No AC or a fan with 40°C weather. Room was hotter than the outside even at night like we were near a heater. So windows open was necessary at night but the outdoor lights were very bright and the streets/seagulls were loud till 3-5 AM everynight. Only okay bag storage, I think it could be more secure and intentional.

The hostel is very clean, quiet, and ideal if you’re looking to rest. The rooms, beds, and shared bathrooms were spotless throughout my stay. However, it’s not a social hostel, so I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re hoping to meet other travelers, the vibe felt very quiet and reserved. I also didn’t like that reception has limited hours for assisting guests. I needed water to take medication one night and was refused, which I felt could have been handled with a bit more flexibility.

Staff was really nice! Location was within walking distance to everything. Bathrooms cleaned every day, and a great price!
