About

Welcome to your home in Porto! The Gallery Hostel, an award-winning boutique hostel nestled in the heart of Porto Art district, is the perfect location to begin your Portuguese adventure. Our unique property, which also serves as an art gallery, is considered by many as one of the best in Porto and the world.
Set in a restored 19th century building, Gallery Hostel provides guests with an authentic Portuguese experience and hospitality. The historic building, while maintaining its original blue tiles, a symbol of Portuguese architecture, was rehabilitated with a contemporary touch and comfort. Located in one of the trendiest quarters of Porto, Gallery Hostel is only a short walk from both the historic centre and Porto nightlife. In addition, one of Porto's most beautiful gardens, the Palacio de Cristal is located within 5 minutes walk, where you can spot peacocks! We are also conveniently situated between Lapa and Trindade metro stations, both a short walking distance.
Our home is the perfect place for travellers to relax after a day of adventure, to forge new friendships, and to enjoy a nice glass of Port wine! Our monthly calendar of events showcases various events happening around the city as well as events hosted at the hostel and at the GH Cafe & Restaurant.
We offer a selection of room categories ranging from 3-bed dorms to standard double/twin rooms, all with in-room shower facilities. Every room is carefully and uniquely designed to ensure the maximum comfort and style. Our dorms feature new custom-designed bunk-beds with built-in plugs, USB port, and individual lights. Each guest staying in a dormitory will be provided with a private locker equipped with a secure digital technology.
At the Gallery Hostel, the team is here to create a unique and memorable Portuguese experience for all our guests. Our friendly and multilingual staff may assist you at all times (24hr reception) with travel planning, dining reservations as well as any other requests our guests may have.

The staff was extremely helpful in advising me about Porto, and helping me fell comfortable at the Hostel. In particular, want to commend the receptionist on Sunday, a young woman, who went out of her way to make me comfortable.

I’m sure you’ve read every other glowing review but here are some highlights: Basically a hotel with shared rooms Away from but within walking distance of the tourist area so quiet but not tedious, close to a grocery store Standard buffet but delicious Extremely clean and surprisingly comfortable Very good a/c Very good bathrooms (multiple in the ensuite) and locker areas Cute balcony and modern design with nods to the traditional style Easy and clean kitchen

This was by far the nicest hostel I have ever stayed in! The best breakfast and the rooms are so nice with the bathrooms and lockers seperate so the rooms are quiet and comfortable. Bathrooms are individual cubicles and it’s great! The place is gorgeous and the rooftop balcony is a lovely addition. Kitchen to use if you need but there are so many great restaurants really close by. I had an excellent stay and would 100% stay here again. It was just what I wanted.

Hostelworld says

As the name suggests, Gallery Hostel Porto is a beautiful hostel filled with original art and located in an area surrounded by art galleries. It?s about 10 minutes? walk from the centre. Hostelworld guests have said they?d definitely recommend this hostel, ?especially if you like art and music?. This hostel features a summer terrace and winter garden, very friendly staff and ensuite dorms. We particularly like their delicious nightly Portuguese dinners, which cost around ?10.
