Hostels em Porto District, Portugal

This is the BEST hostel I’ve stayed in, would honestly stay here over a Hilton. I booked a double private room with breakfast and was upgraded to a family room - despite not needing the extra bed, it was nice to have the extra space and not feeling cramped. The staff were amazing and couldn’t do anymore to assist me in anyway. There was an ample choice of options at breakfast, with the usual stuff found in a continental buffet. I must say the food was delicious! I also dined at the restaurant in the evening which was also delicious and VERY well priced - €12 for a meal and a drink! The room was very spacious, especially as I was a solo traveller. The bathroom was well maintained and the entire room was CLEAN! Along with very comfortable beds and passable pillows (but I am fussy with pillows). The location was perfect! Just 10-15 minutes from Sao Bento and around the corner from the river. I must say I did feel EXTREMELY SAFE both in the hotel and in Porto in general. Why would I stay here over a Hilton? For the price I paid, it was extremely well value and I must say I had a 5* experience here.

Overall, this was a great short stay. I enjoyed the aesthetic of the hostel, it was adorable and welcoming. It is more of a calm hostel than a social hostel which I didn't mind for my short stay. I stayed in a 14-bed female dorm for one night and it was okay. The only issue I experienced here was my locker situation, a few of the lockers seemed to be broken and were difficult to use with a code, an option to use one with my padlock would have been nice. Other than that no complaints and would suggest this hostel to other solo female travelers!

Well located hostel at Sao Bento train station, everything within walking distance. A bit overrated in my opinion, staff are knowledgeable but a bit 'corporate robotic' I prefer the more personal touch. Its overpriced for what's on offer, very basic breakfast, looks as if meats, cheeses have been purchased from one of the budget supermarkets. Its fine but despite all the hype, nothing special.

When we arrived we did the paperwork and payment quickly, then we saw the room, we stayed in a room with bunk beds, a double bed, very decent and clean. Since we were going to do tourism, we asked at the hostel itself for places to see, they very kindly told us where we could go and gave us a map. That night we also asked where we could go out for drinks and were told several options. We didn't get to eat anything there, but everything looked very good. 100% recommended

It was a great experience.

Everyone from the staff, to the other travellers were so welcoming and super. The hostel was always clean, and even had maids who came and made the beds, mopped, cleaned bathrooms etc. I stayed in an 8 bed mixed dorm, had no faults with my stay. Loved the onsite bar, and breakfast also being included. The staff were very welcoming, would highly recommend.

For a hostel, this was an exceptional experience. Our room on the top floor, although a workout to get to, had beautiful views over the river and Gaia. Thankfully it was cool when we went and a fan was provided, the lack of air conditioning could be a challenge in summer. Breakfast was adequate for a hostel breakfast. Location is perfect, a relatively short walk from Sao Bento station even with luggage. Would stay again. Staff were mostly friendly, but Tiago was great!

The hair dryer is not equipped in the room. The downstairs bar is utterly noisy until 2 am, and you can feel the shake of the floor. They provide u with a small taste if Porto wine. The kitchen has nothing but a microwave to cook, so it is barely a kitchen There’s no water kettle here. The old man who is working as a janitor there and is also living in their 4 bunk bed is constantly very rude to Asian customers. So be aware. Could be racist, his own trauma, stereotypes, or simply anti-Asia. U can see he was smiling to other guests one minute ago and then scolding u in harsh language to u in the next minute. Location is good enough. The reception is only a place with frugal table with keys on it.

EL hotel una maravilla, personal super amable tanto en recepción como en el desayuno, la ubicación perfecta y la habitación amplia y con muchas atenciones, sin duda un hotel para repetir, nos recibieron con un vino de oporto y dulces riquisimos.

The location are good but room and bathroom are dirty. Staff are so so sweety but people who clean it should improve. It seems they dont clean. Price isnt so good, expensive for what they offer and it isnt all beds have curtains.Lot of young people shut the doors at night so suggestion here have cushioning on the doors. * A localização é boa, mas o quarto e o banheiro são sujos. A equipe é simpatica, mas as pessoas que limpam devem melhorar. Parece que eles não limpam. O preço não é tão bom, caro para o que eles oferecem e nem todas as camas têm cortinas. Muitos jovens batendo as portas à noite, então a sugestão aqui é colocar amortecedor nas portas.

Location is really good! I got off the subway station and got to climb some hills, but it was only 5 minutes away. The staff at the hostel was nice and helpful. Although the facilities were mixed for 10 people, the room was really spacious and the bed was very good. 10 people but never crowded. There is a dryer too! I have a locker and give me a locker key. Breakfast is just okay Bread cheese ham juice water coffee It's nice to have a rest outside in the morning. Ah, the Wi-Fi didn't go well in the room. Anyway, it is recommended !!! I'll be here again. And I thought I had a paid winery tour at the hostel, but it felt less organized ..! This is light ...

This is not a safe place! Especially if you are a solo traveler. If anything bad happens to you,this hostel would not help you, nor take any responsibility and actually would not care at all. That was exactly what happened to me when staying with them. I booked a mixed room for 5 nights. One night, in the middle of my stay, a sexual harrasment happened in my room conducted by one of the man staying in the same room. He got very drunk. In the middle of the night he started to shout, laugh and finally....masturbated (in a shared room). I was scared to death, my bed was just in front of his, I was sacred he would rape me or hurt me in another way. Suddenly, he went close to the window, and I could hear he was urinating on the floor, on my shoes.. I used the moment that he was across the room to get up and ran out as fast as I could to inform the reception about the incident. I spent the rest of the night in the reception area, was too frightened to go back to the room, I begged them to find something else for me, saying that after all of this, I would not go back to the room. I was asked to pack my belongings as they would check with a manager what they could do for me. On the next day I got the message saying that this man had checked out, and I was offered to stay in the exact same room, in the same bed...or I could leave if I didn't like the idea of staying there... I booked a room in a different place, as I felt disgusted with their behavior. The hostel failed to refund me ANY money for my unused bookings and my destroyed shoes. What was even worse, they never said or charged anything to this man. Nobody called the police. The man ate breakfast and was permitted to check out as if nothing happened. After few days of back and forth with the hostel, they offered that I could cancel the reservation overall to claim a refund - meaning I would not be able to give a review of the place... I refused and decided to give an honest review that this is NOT a safe place to stay, especially for women who travel solo.

Overall, this was a great short stay. I enjoyed the aesthetic of the hostel, it was adorable and welcoming. It is more of a calm hostel than a social hostel which I didn't mind for my short stay. I stayed in a 14-bed female dorm for one night and it was okay.

Nous venons de passer 3 nuits dans cet établis*****t le rapport qualité prix est très bon. Accueil très sympathique. Petit déjeuner compris dans le prix très copieux... jambon fromage œufs fruits frais yaourt gâteaux locaux pain complet céréales blanc... Literie très confortable. Très propre. Salle de bain indépendante mais privative.

It was a great experience.

The treatment I received at this hostel was despicable, unreasonable and hostile. My flight was delayed for 5 hours and whilst in airport I received a very encouraging email from 'so cool' explaining reception closes at 9pm and if I haven't checked in by then I would have to wait to the morning. Having found somewhere else to stay for that night, I turned up at this hostel the next morning, the rigid lady at reception simply wasn't interested or concerned in the least of my predicament and informed me I was a ”no show” and my room was gone for the whole 3 nights I'd booked. I asked for a partial refund for the further 2 nights as I was now having to find somewhere else to stay and would have to pay top price, she was not interested to know this and told me there would be no refund and no room. Whilst I understand policies are policies I think a bit of allowance for unforeseen circumstances wouldn't go amiss. I had no control of my flight being delayed and had I not received the welcome text reminding me of reception opening hours I would have thought twice about contacting them, their communication was confusing and had mixed messages. More unforgivably is the attitude of the manager even when she knew I had nowhere to go and would need the partial refund to secure alternative accomodation, she was not losing any money and had sold my bed twice. I have used *********** for years to book hostels and I have never received such harsh heartless treatment. Whilst I get business is business, there's more to life than a computer database and rigid rules that don't allow for unforeseen circumstances. The rigid lady tried to tell me it was *********** who cancelled me but this was just a lie,. Thankfully the 'hostel Rosalina' saved my bacon and were a fantastic contrast to ”so cool's awful treatment. The receptionist was wonderful and helpful and her friendliness reassured me Porto was not full of heartless money grabbing robots. Avoid this hostel if you're not going to be there for 9pm or you have any chance of a flight delay. .

It was so beautiful and insanely good! We stayed in a dormitory with a mix of 6 people. The room has a locker with a key, two separate toilets and two showers. The hair dryer is also very good. You can also use the shared kitchen and refrigerator. The staff was very kind and helpful.

I cannot begin to say enough good things about this hostel. First off, I was in Porto for a little more than 3 weeks and stayed here the whole time. This hostel is incredibly clean with Lucia (owner) and her staff working very hard to keep it this way. The rooms are clean and boast large steel lockers to store valuables and personal items. There is amazing communal spaces, including outdoor patio and garden with plenty of seating. The kitchen is a decent size and is well stocked with the supermarket being only a few blocks down the street. There is a free (basic) breakfast that consists of juice, cereal, fresh buns and jams.This all said, it is the staff that make this hostel extra special. I actually had a few of the staff take me out and share some of their favourite spots with me, which included watching the sunset from the Palacio de Cristal. Overall, I would recommend and would gladly plan a trip back in the future myself.
