This hostel was nice for a night but it wasn’t as active as the other hostels I saw in Porto while visiting other solo travellers. The area is a little bit more suspicious but it’s easy to walk to many of the attractions from. I felt the vibes weren’t as party hard so if you’re looking for more of a quiet place, this is nice. Otherwise it was clean and there’s a kitchen with great amenities. I was content but if I had stayed in Porto for longer I’d have changed to a more active hostel.

Don’t book the private rooms that are 50km away. The main hostel looked great, nice location, staff was really nice, but the rooms away from the hostel are terrible. The room was a 2 min walk and next door to onefam hostel. It was the dirtiest and most disgusting hostel I have ever seen. The rooms smell bad, likely have mold. I booked for 3 nights, but left after one night with no refund since I booked a non-refundable rate. These rooms need to be renovated or removed.

Hostelworld says

The Cats Porto Party Hostel is located just around the corner from Sao Bento metro station and the funicular. It features a large rooftop terrace, a full kitchen and rooms which are all ensuite. We particularly like their bunk beds, with individual reading lights, power and usb sockets and underbed lockers. Hostelworld guests have highly recommended this hostel and say they?d stay here again; one guest told us, ?my favorite place was a terrace where we could sit in the evening having a drink and chatting with friends?.
