Excellent stay, we were in the 4 person dorm on the top floor and our room was cool in temperature and looks. Alongside the balcony with views of the city it was an excellent stay

Really good hostel, great location, nice vibes and friendly young people who want to do things, but not a party hostel. Location is so close to the River and any sightseeing. Clean and tidy, easy check in - check out process

A very nice hostel for a stay in Porto! The receptionist was extremely kind and waited up, even though I missed asking for a late check in. He gave us great food recommendations and even joined us for dinner afterwards. :D Overall the hostel is very clean (you see 2 cleaning ladies constantly) and nicely decorated, however, there is a faint smell of mold in - at least - one of the dorm rooms. The location is amazing!!
