Hostelworld says
Rivoli Cinema Hostel was rated among the top five small hostels worldwide at the 2010 and 2011 Hoscars, and it’s not hard to see why. Hostelworld guests say ‘the location couldn\'t be better, located in a safe part of downtown, between the metro and the train station, the historical centre and the shopping street, all at a walking distance’. We like the whimsical film decor, especially the Tim Burton rooms. This hostel has a large rooftop terrace with a swimming pool and BBQ and travellers tell us it’s ‘very easy to mingle and meet people with the pub crawl and free city tour’.
Property Description
We welcome all the backpackers, travellers and guests who search for the unique experience of staying at the first cinema hostel in Portugal, right in the centre of Porto.
We’re set in a 1930s Art Deco-style building, full of character itself. It was designed by the same designer as for the amazing Lello Bookshop (considered the third most beautiful in the world). Although it preserves the charm of most original elements, it was carefully renovated to provide you high standards comfortable accommodation with updated infrastructure.
The whole Hostel is Movie Themed and we’ve carefully decorated all the common areas and rooms, making you feel at home with your newest big family while staying in a room themed after your favourite movie or director.
Our common areas include a fully equipped kitchen, a dining area and a large lounge where you can relax, have a drink, read, play video games on our PlayStation and Wii or watch satellite TV or one of our 300 DVDs.
If you prefer to be outside, we have an outstanding 150m² terrace where you can sunbath, BBQ, listen to music, party or just socialise with the others guests, including a seasonal Bar and relaxing pool.
Our renovated facilities, 24hr availability, cinema theme and friendly multilingual staff create an especially cosy and comfortable atmosphere. We have free Wi-Fi, netflix, free internet, free maps and travel advice, free walking tours and free luggage storage on arrival and departure as well as free continental breakfast and all-day coffee and tea!

great location, cute theme! free breakfast was simple with bread, jam, ham and cheese, fruits, coffee and orange juice. only thing was that there was just one bathroom for the entire floor, so it got a littke crowded sometimes, and it was mixed gender, which i personally don't like for hostels. definitely do one of the free walking tours, they come right to the hostel a little beforehand to pick you up!

They advertise AC but upon check in they inform you they turn it on at their discretion and only to 23 C / 74 F. The bathrooms and showers are co ed which was uncomfortable. Some workers were laying on the sofa meant for guests and had their boyfriends over sitting in guests living room space. Front door key doesn’t always work. No elevator. Can only access WC/shower on your floor. None on common floor.

Rivoli Cinema Hostel says
I think our hostel is perfect for guests travelling alone or in small groups of friends because, thanks to our huge indoor and outdoor common areas, it's really easy to make new friends here. It's also perfect for couples because of the romantic cinema-themed double rooms.
We're just next to the main city square, Aliados, and all the major historical attractions are less than five minutes' walk from here. I particularly recommend cisiting the Lello Bookshop, considered one of the top three most beautiful in the world and designed by the same architect as our building.
We've got tons of freebies, like our Wi-Fi, breakfast, walking tours, summertime swimming pool and much more.
