Property Description

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.

A great spot to stay in Porto. The staff were lovely and very accommodating and the hostel is very clean and well-kept. The breakfast is delicious and you can start your day with a few pasteis de nata. I would definitely stay here again.

Gallery Hostel Porto is a recommended stay for me. The hostel is situated in a central location and short walking distance to many locations. The staffs are friendly and helpful. Roselina was very pleasant, friendly, and patient when I checked in with her. I stayed in a 6 bed mixed dorm and the hostel was spotless both days I was there. The breakfast provided was the best ive had in any hostel and I have stayed in many many hostels around the world

Really great, clean hostel. Good brekky. But felt more like a bed and breakfast as it wasn’t very social and didn’t have much socialisation or common areas. Location good though, and comfy beds.

Could use more room to store stuff and I didn’t want to stay there longer because there are no privacy curtains which makes it pretty hard to sleep etc. The breakfast was amazing so that was a big plus! Staff was super nice which was lovely. They did speak poorly of the hostel I moved to (had to because they were out of room). The hostel I moved to was great and probably better suited for me because I’m a solo traveler.

Gallery Hostel Porto says

I think what makes is really special is our bar, where guests can enjoy well-chosen beverages; we prepare daily homemade dinners with different themes such as typical Portuguese dishes, variety of tapas and port wine tasting. We also have our own art gallery with bimonthly-changing exhibitions of Portuguese artists. We're a part of the local community in our wonderful artistic neighbourhood, which brings you closer to the authentic Portuguese culture. Plus our home cinema is muuuch more comfortable than a movie theatre ;) We welcome guests of all ages who value comfort, friendly service and are interest in different cultural aspects such as good food, wine, art etc.
