About

Urban Garden Porto Central Hostel is a sustainability-certified hostel in the heart of Porto, designed for travellers looking for comfort, privacy and a relaxed atmosphere.

Located just 50 metres from Rua de Santa Catarina, Porto’s main shopping street, and only a 5-minute walk from Aliados, we are the perfect base to explore the city on foot. Most of Porto’s main attractions are within a 10 to 15-minute walk.

Our premium capsules offer more privacy and comfort than a traditional dorm. Each capsule includes privacy curtains, a personal reading light, power outlet, fan, shelf and a lockable locker, with the key provided at check-in.

Your stay includes 5G Wi-Fi throughout the property, including the garden, luggage storage, freshly prepared bed linen, shampoo and shower gel.

After exploring Porto, relax in our large garden with barbecue area, cook in our well-equipped shared kitchen, or enjoy the spacious living room with 4K TV, Netflix, PS4 and Spotify.

We are proud to be Green Key certified, reflecting our commitment to more responsible hospitality.

Our reception team is available throughout the day with city maps, local tips, restaurant recommendations and activity suggestions.

Our team speaks English, French, Spanish and Portuguese.

Central location, extra privacy, garden atmosphere and responsible hospitality: everything you need for a comfortable stay in Porto.

It’s a good hostel but the rooms definitely look less nice than the pictures! Overall a good stay still!

There were bedbugs and they didn’t inform the others in my room. I’m not sure how long it took them to actually get that resolved. The bathrooms were also not very clean.

Limited review since I only did a 1 night stay. Bunk bed was great, the garden is a great feature. Plenty of space to rest. Toilets/showers felt a bit cramped
