Happy Porto Hostel

Our host, Paolo, is a 6 time Camino pilgrim with a passion for hospitality! He and his staff of volunteers were such a joy to work with, I loved my stay at Happy Porto. The space is welcoming and intimate and there was a strong sense of community and friendship. The beds were comfortable, the showers were clean and there were plenty of games and musical instruments in the shared dining area to entertain me for days. I quickly found myself among fellow nomads and travelers who opened their hearts and made me feel like family. Thanks everyone!

had a perfect stay at happy porto hostel, definitely would recommend it to other travelers. staff was really friendly and helpful, always willing to help with anything. breakfast included, the room and bathroom was clean and comfy. location is not in the center of town but i think was best this way, walkable distances and a pretty view.

The hostel is well located from the Sao Bento train station and the beach. It has a good view of the city's main river and offers multiple facilities - breakfast, essentials for stay and great support. It's a great hostel for those who are looking to spend a few nights in a good deal in Porto, especially for Camino.

The hostel is very clean. The staff is polite. The breakfast included is good. The beds are comfortable and the rooms spacious. The only thing I had a really hard time with was their AC policy. The AC is only on from 10pm to 8am. I found it very hard to sleep past 8am because it got very warm, very quickly. Also, most people in the dorms were back by 7pm or and the room was hot and uncomfortable. Especially for us on the second floor. I really think the hostel needs to reconsider the hours they offer AC during the summer and extend them.

My 16 day stay at Happy Porto was amazing. The location was very walkable, the rooms and bathrooms were very clean and the staff were very kind and considerate. If you’re solo traveling to Porto, definitely book your stay at Happy Porto!
