Great location and run by some really lovely people. Great breakfast and stylish rooms. Quite a few steps up to room and reception, but then there don't seem to be many accessible options in Porto/Gaia.

This was by far the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in! The staff were incredibly kind, friendly, and welcoming, and the facilities were spotless and beautifully designed.

I was pleasantly suprised, this was a really good hostel. Great location, clean, safe, you actually get enough space to yourself without feeling invaded. I got the 1 bed in 7bedroom space. Definitely worth your money. The only downside is the breakfast is a bit limited, but you can always order and pay for more options

Everything was perfect. We stayed in a River View room and loved watching the sunset and Porto’s night lights right from our window — no need to go out to enjoy the view. The room was spotless and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful. If we visit beautiful Porto again, we’d definitely stay here again!
