Probably the friendliest staff I’ve ever met. The hostel is located in a beautiful station, with everything just a few meters away. The bed is comfortable, the locker is spacious, the showers and bathrooms look newly renovated, and the kitchen is open and roomy. So, from the bottom of my heart, I give it a 10/10. I totally recommend it!
I had a wonderful experience when I visited back in April. 100% would recommend to others, and did when a friend visited Porto and she LOVED it! One of the best hostels l've been to, which stands to this day. Easy checkin, great included breakfast, comfy clean beds, very clean bathroom and wonderful activities. The location is also amazing. As a student who was in a group room and had earplugs it was perfect. The beds have a light, charger and holder so no issues with overhead lights. People were pretty respectful, and the the beds had curtains so it felt very private. It was also very reasonably priced. 10/10 recommend.
I do not have much to add from ehat other reviews have said. Rooms are good, kept well. The 12 man room is spacious with a small common area in the middle. Well kept bathroom and shower facilities. Kitchen in good order. They had fun activites, and usually a free or cheap dinner. It can be a little noisy, more so noe with the building of the metro. But, you should expect this being in downtown Porto in a train station. Would recommend.
As a couple we mostly book hotel rooms, however this hostel was on our list for a while but unfortunately it didn’t meet expectations. Service: except for one lady, service was strange and unpleasant. We didn’t really feel welcomed. When we left we didn’t have a goodbye or how was your stay. Just a weird vibe. And we didn’t feel comfortable that they “stored” our bags at the bar. Rooms: we had a private room and it was huge. If you are a light sleeper then this might not be the place for you because the noise at night is terrible. Once that noise “settles” you hear the staff talking pretty loud from the common area. Also the bathrooms are across the hall, so you don’t have a real good view on the station (not like they claim with their pictures). A big plus was that the private rooms have their one bathrooms. About the latter, at the ladies there wasn’t really warm water and during winter that was quite uncomfortable. Cleanliness: it’s clean Amenities: Breakfast: was included but we didn’t had any because we wanted to have the real experience. Location: perfect. Especially if you come by train. Price: around €92 for the two of us in the weekend per night.
Overall a wonderful and interesting hostel located right in the train station! I only stayed for one night in a private room (which was great! The bed was in a loft but had a steep staircase to access and a couch beneath). The only complaint I have is for the shower it takes a while for the water to get warm which would not be such an issue if there was a knob to keep it on instead of having to press for 20 second intervals…. I understand the desire to save water but this felt more of a waste of water since it took me so long to get it to warm up. I ended up not even washing my hair and waited until I checked into a different location.
