About

Porto Spot Hostel offers great rooms, great fun in an architectural milestone, fully refurbished for your comfort. Porto Spot Hostel is here to surprise you.

Located in the city center, in a 5 min walk from the airport tube, Spot is close to all the beauties of this world heritage city: Clerigos Tower, Old town, Port Wine cellars, night life (at a sound proof distance). Our friendly staff will love to give you all the tourist information, and also those hints you won't find in a guide.

The building was constructed in 1935, and was designed by Armenio Losa, well known Portuguese architect. It is one fine example of Estado Novo, a Portuguese style born out of Art Deco. The refurbishment respected the building's originality, adding the expectable amenities of modern comfort. The rooms are spacious, each one with its unique decoration, with key card access, large beds and free security lockers. We also offer you a bar and a nice patio where you can rest at the end of your day, and where we serve our famous dinners daily.

A fully equipped kitchen is available, were you can cook your meal if you ever get tired of the fantastic food you will find around town (ask our staff for tips). The living room and the media room will also make your delights. The hostel offers free internet points and free wi-fi is fully available inside the house.

We also have a tourist corner where you can find information about the city and its surroundings. Our staff will be more than happy to give you tips on the places you can't miss, and make you a tailor made routing for your stay.

In selected days we organise walking tours, for you to get to know those special places only locals know. We also organise pub crawls, to be sure you have the best night Porto can offer.

From March 1st 2018, the Municipal Tourist Tax will be charged in the city of Porto, which consists of a charge of 3 euros per person per night and up to a maximum of 7 nights.

We don't accept minors (- 18 years old) in shared rooms.

I really enjoyed staying at this hostel. It has a very chill homey vibe. There’s spaces to relax and catch your breathe after trekking around. The staff are also amazing and welcoming which added to my overall impression. The rooms are spacious but I got a top bunk so it was a little terrifying going up and down… it’s a bit high. The common bathroom… even though there’s only 2 showers there’s rarely traffic. Location is also okay. All in all, great hostel! 5⭐️

This hostel is truly amazing. Clean rooms that get cleaned very often (maybe even every day but one day me and my friends slept in). Bathrooms are in PRISTINE condition, clean and spacious for the hostel’s size. The staff is incredible, super kind and welcoming. Definitely not the most social hostel around but if you make an effort the common areas make it very easy to meet the other people! Amazing free breakfast with loads of options and coffee machine! 100% recommend, we had a wonderful stay!

Hostelworld says

Porto Spot Hostel is very highly rated here on Hostelworld for its friendly, helpful and sociable staff, who host nightly dinner, guest-recommend walking tours and popular pub crawls. One Hostelworld traveller told us ?the hostel is the right size to get to know everybody staying and big enough to party every night?, while many guests say they?d stay here again because of the home-like atmosphere. This hostel is located in Old Town, just five minutes? walk from the Capela das Almas and about 15 minutes from Porto Cathedral.
