Summary of traveller reviews

CoolHostel in Porto is praised for its excellent central location and cleanliness. Guests appreciate the friendly staff and good value for money. It's a quiet hostel, ideal for solo travellers or couples seeking a peaceful stay. Some recent feedback notes limited social activities and a potential wait for bathrooms.

Bad atmosphere & breakfast. Female dorm 4 bunks stuffed in a tiny box room, no fresh air at night & hot room. 1 shared toilet/bathroom for the whole floor of rooms. The night guy let himself into the room through the night & turns on the main light & there are no curtains on the beds. I couldn't breath & felt claustrophobic but was told no to every question of room change, upgrade & i pay extra or refund. Next day I asked for solution for 2nd night & was told no everything & I lost my money.

The cleanest place I've ever stayed at! We got the private room, with shared toilet. The facilities are cleaned daily, the ceilings are tall and the rooms wide, it's such a comfortable vibe. I hadn't had such a good sleep in ages too. Quiet, not a party hostel, but still young and fun. Great large balcony under the sun, where we chilled every night too. They don't let anyone else in, not even your mum which is weird and there are a lot of stairs. Lovely staff. A bit expensive but recommend 100%.
