Guest Reviews
- Anne (6/5): Okay für eine Nacht - Gute Lage, freundliches Personal und schöne Terrasse. Ungünstig ist, dass die Waschbecken im Zimmer sind. Die Geräusche (auch Licht) gehen durchs ganz Zimmer. Ich würde beim
Nächsten mal lieber ein Hostel buchen, bei dem die sanitären Anlagen nicht direkt im Zimmer sind. Das Bett war okay, aber hat permanent gewackelt sobald jemand durchs Zimmer gelaufen ist. Vermutlich ist das Gewicht der Betten nicht auf den Untergrund abgestimmt.

- Beatriz (8/5): -
- Vasylyna (9/5): -
- Catharina (8/5): -
- MartiPol (8/5): W porządku 😌 - Super lokalizacja, pokoje z małą liczbą osób Łazienki pozostawiają do życzenia pod kątem czystości, pokoje są strasznie ciemne, w pokoju bardzo słychać hałasy z korytarza
- Xiaochen (2/5): -

- Hiromi (8/5): -
- Fabiani (6/5): Non prendere letto nel dormitorio ma camera privata - Ottima posizione per visitare la città e usare i mezzi pubblici Scarsa pulizia delle camere e degli spazi comuni, bagni senza finestra e piccoli.
La sera la struttura organizza serate nel rooftop per cui c’è confusione fino a tardi.
Consiglio di prendere la camera privata e non il letto nel dormitorio.
- Beatrice (7/5): Peu d'espace et d'intimité - L'accueil et l'espace cuisine La chambre était très petite pour 8 personnes.
Très peu de possibilités pour pendre ses affaires et sa serviette dans la douche (crochet cassé sur 2 dans l'une des deux douches), eau qui envahit la douche et coule même à l'extérieur.
Toilettes dans la chambre avec parois ultra minces...
- Louise (10/5): -
- juchuan (5/5): - general facility cleaningness
- Andrew (10/5): - Great location - central and close to the trains and busses - easy to walk to locations from here
- Santos (10/5): Maravilhoso - Organização
- Maria Rubio (4/5): -
- Liisa (7/5): -
- Elisabetta (8/5): - Struttura in zona centralissima, a pochi minuti dalle attrazioni principali.
Molto gentili alla reception e disponibili anche nel tenere i bagagli dopo il check out al costo di 2€.
- Ellie (8/5): A great place to stay in Porto! - Comfy beds and very clean!
- Elena (9/5): Ottimo ostello! - Molto accogliente, mobili nuovi e funzionali, letto comodissimo, veramente pulito, gli spazi comuni molto belli, posizione perfetta e centralissima : lo consiglio assolutamente! Niente
- Oleksandra (9/5): Comfortable and convenient stay in a great location, though the dorm could be noisy at night - I stayed in the female dorm room and had a good experience overall. The location was very convenient, the mattress was comfortable, and it was great to have both a toilet and bathroom inside the room. The facilities were clean and practical for a short stay. Because it’s a shared dorm room, it could get a bit noisy at night when other guests came in or moved around. I also didn’t know in advance that I needed to bring my own lock for the lockers, so I wasn’t able to use them for my suitcases.
- Emanuele (9/5): Piacevole, staff gentilissimo, struttura pulita - Rooftop Poco isolamento tra i servizi e i letti
- Elena (9/5): Perfetto, prezzo un po' alto - Lo staff è molto gentile e sorridente. La reception è aperta 24/7. Sono stata solo una notte quindi non ho potuto usufruire di tutto, ma c'è una grande cucina, una zona relax e un'enorme terrazza. I letti sono comodi e sulla testata hanno una retina per mettere le cose, una presa e una lucina. Davvero perfetti! Per 8 letti erano presenti due docce, due water e due lavandini. Tutto funzionale e pulito. La stanza è un po' piccola e buia, anche le luci sono molto fioche. Il prezzo per essere un ostello secondo me è un po' eccessivo, non essendo compresa né colazione né asciugamani.
- Graca (7/5): BOA - DA LOCALIZAÇÃO. DA TAXA DE 10 EUROS PARA TURISTA E 4 EUROS DE TOALHA. ACHEI UM ABUSO.
- Lidia (8/5): -
- Maria (10/5): -
- Erika (7/5): It was fine - The lockers was very big Nãos gostei que eles cobram pra deixar a mala, não gostei que não tem nenhum banheiro com chuveiro fora dos quartos, isso atrapalha se uma pessoa quer banhar cedo ou muito tarde acaba acordando todos do quarto.
- Margareth Erendira (10/5): Agradável - Localização No banheiro, não havia local para se colocar nossos objetos ou roupas para o banho. Como uma prateleira junto a pia.
- Marcos Vinicius (9/5): -
- Isabela (10/5): - A localização é muito boa, ao lado da Catedral da Sé, foi possível fazer tudo andando. O hostel é muito legal e as áreas comuns são muito cuidadas.
- Deibson (8/5): -
- Valentina (10/5): -
- Sarah Ahmad (10/5): I had a great stay and I’ll stay if and when I go back to Porto. I will recommend to friends - Great location; 24x7 people on front desk; very clean Can’t think of any
- Mildred (7/5): - Locatie en vriendelijkheid personeel
- Iris (7/5): vale a pena pelo preço, localização e funcionários - Os funcionários são incríveis! Camas confortáveis e o Rooftop é mto legal O banheiro do dormitório feminino não tem nenhuma ventilação e cheira a mofo
- Danuta (8/5): -
- Inez (8/5): Comfortabel, amazing location. - We had a private room. Everything you need. Perfect location to explore the beautiful city. We could hear the person next to us snoring in the night.
- francesco (10/5): -
- Sara (8/5): -
- Miriam (10/5): - Yes of course
- Mariachiara (10/5): -
- Judith (9/5): - Chambre très bien située: à côté du métro, de la Cathédrale et des lieux touristiques.
- Lynne (6/5): Location makes it worthwhile - Great location Value was not great
- Christina (4/5): Wouldn’t bother , for $110 for a double twin , it was a total ripoff . Facilities are old , reviews are ancient. Stafff - Good location great staff , just really run down and very worn old , not that clean and the rooms and facilities are in three different locations Just worn , tired old , needs an update , there are three locatioons near main hostel . It’s ok , clean , just really felt kind of yucky, and not that safe . If you are 20 , maybe you can deal as a 50 year old whose travelled an stayed at hostels , Albergue’s many times, this was of low quality z
- Eglantine (8/5): Fun Stay in the Center of Porto - Great location, super social, and clean Kitchen is a bit small and doesn’t have a ton of good tools and sometimes the dishes were still dirty. Bathrooms had a couple broken things that could be easily repaired.
- Alice (6/5): - Funcionários atenciosos e ótima localização! Além disso as funcionárias limpavam o quarto diariamente. Achei que faltou uma cortina para privacidade. Estava em um quarto compartilhado considerado “Deluxe” e não achei que seguia muito com o conceito Deluxe. Acredito que o número de chuveiros e privadas seria mais adequado a um quarto com até 6 pessoas. Além disso não há sequer toalhas para rosto e para o chão, o que deixava sempre um rastro de água pelo quarto sempre que alguém tomava banho. Além disso achei um pouco absurdo termos que pagar para deixar as malas após o checkout esse é o primeiro hostel em que fiquei que vejo isso, e olhe que já fiquei em hosteis muito mais simples e que mesmo assim não cobravam taxa.
- Stefania (9/5): Great location, clean room , safe. - Posizione, camere separate e servizi interni Nelle parti comuni non luce diretta , cucina senza finestre
Però la terrazza ottima
- Barbara (9/5): - everything the staff was amazing and I really liked how big the room was the beds should have some curtains to keep some more privacy
- Matthis (7/5): -
- Jane (5/5): -
- Carol (9/5): - Bom custo-benefício. Fui incomodada durante à noite por outras hóspedes do meu quarto.
- Pilar Romero. (7/5): - El personal No tenía ascensor.
- Béatrice (10/5): -
- Martin (8/5): Für eine Nacht top. 👍 - Gute Lage, nettes Personal und die Ausstattung war wie erwartet. Das Warmwasser hat nicht immer funktioniert und die Toilette hatte einen komischen Geruch.
- Jingxuan (10/5): -
- Birgit (9/5): Tolles Hostel in der Altstadt - Freundlicher und zuvorkommender Empfang, außerhalb des Hostel in einer tollen renovierten Dachwohnung. Gute und ausreichende Auswahl am Frühstücksbuffet Alles bestens
- oona (7/5): Good clean hostel , great for a short stay, good location very close to St Bento train station - checked in late, staff were friendly. shower was hot. No towels or soap or shampoo. The room smelt off.
- Nina (9/5): -
- Gerlando (8/5): -
- Mehmet Emin (9/5): -
- Tom (7/5): Youth hostel, not an Albergue. - Camino walker. Close to cathedral and path. Clean. This is a city hostel, mostly catering to young tourists. This crowd stays out late, sleeps late, maybe enjoys a drink or two. Ie, not in sync with the Camino group.
- Sau mi (8/5): 這個地方實在值得推薦、給其他旅行愛好者 - 位置方便、遠離人太多的地方、晚上可以寧靜入睡.
廚房設備齊全、有大冰箱、可以煮食、休閒地方寬敞舒適!
房間乾淨、有大窗口可以望到戶外,每天都會清潔打掃、值得一讚
職員態度友善、願意幫忙查詢
有不同價格早餐、可以自由購買 距離大超市比較遠、但樓下有幾間超市!
大致上都達標了、沒有什麼可以投訴的!
- Alexane (10/5): Super emplacement, bonne ambiance et propre ! - L'emplacement est idéal, près du centre historique (et des stations de métro/train) mais dans une rue calme. Il y a une bonne ambiance dans l'auberge mais tout de même calme. Je voyageais seule et avais envie de me reposer et j'ai trouvé mon bonheur. Mais ceux qui étaient la pour rencontrer du monde ont également trouvé leur bonheur ! Dortoir de 8 filles calme, propre et agréable. Cuisine partagée très pratique et rooftop très sympa. :)
- Bouchra (9/5): A refaire absolument - J’ai passé un excellent séjour dans cet hôtel. Le cadre est vraiment très agréable, calme et parfaitement entretenu. Tout est propre et soigné, ce qui rend l’expérience encore plus confortable.
La cuisine est très bien équipée, avec tout le nécessaire pour se sentir comme chez soi. J’ai particulièrement apprécié la terrasse, idéale pour se détendre et profiter de l’extérieur. La salle est également exceptionnelle, spacieuse et aménagée avec beaucoup de goût.
En résumé, c’est un lieu que je recommande vivement pour son confort, sa qualité et son ambiance chaleureuse.
- Cassinelli (10/5): - Las camas muy cómodas, buen espacio de guardado No tenía cortina la cama
- Laura (8/5): Cumple expectativas - La ubicación era ideal cerca de todo. El personal también es muy amable y te ayuda en todo lo que necesites. La habitación era amplia y no había apenas ruidos. El baño tiene un olor muy fuerte a tubería que obligaba a dejar la puerta del baño cerrada en todo momento y abrirla lo menos posible. Ya habíamos leído esto en otros comentarios y pensábamos que sería algo puntual y un poco exagerado, pero no. Estaría bien que intentaran solucionar esto o al menos poner ambientador en el baño y la habitación. El resto fue todo perfecto.
- Martinez (10/5): -
- Laima (7/5): - Personāls rūpējas par tīrību un drošību. Skaļums no apkārtnes.
- LUCIA (10/5): - Hostal muy centrico con habitacion grande para compartir con amigas, baño completo y todo muy limpio. relacion calidad precio muy bueno el precio de toallas un poco caro
- Mette (10/5): -
- Natalia (10/5): -
- Miranda (6/5): Foi boa mas poderia ter sido melhor!!! - funcionários bem atenciosos. As camas não tem aquelas cortinas para a privacidade do hóspede, todos que entram no quarto vêem vc dormindo e meio constrangedor, o banheiro não a um pano de chão, sai do chuveiro tem que pisar no chão crú é complicado.
- Kanishk (10/5): -
- giovanna (9/5): -
- Nicole (6/5): Buon rapporto qualità/prezzo - Il rapporto qualità prezzo è buono, ma dipende dalla stanza che si sceglie, nel mio caso: letto in dormitorio da 4 femminile, questo era situato in un secondo edificio vicino al primo con la differenza che la cucina non era pulita, ho trovato muffa nei cassetti e le attività/servizi erano nell' altro edificio. La posizione è dietro la stazione di Sao bento, non la miglior posizioni di notte ma centrale per il resto
- Jeison (9/5): - Good location as you walk to many places of interest in Porto. There is also plenty of public transportation nearby. The common areas are plenty. There is a kitchen room, another common room, the bar area and a rooftop.
The wifi works well throughout the hostel. There are no cats (just kidding). Seriously, there are no cats.
The restrooms can be messy, but that is also the guests' fault.

- Nicole (10/5): Super Lage, moderne und junge Herberge - Super moderne und junge Unterkunft. Die Rezeption ist 24h besetzt. Die Lage ist perfekt für den Caminho, da die Kathedrale direkt ums Eck ist. Außerdem gibt es genügend Restaurants im Umkreis.
- Restrepo (9/5): Buena experiencia - Muy amable el personal, te reciben y explican muy bien tanto inglés, español o portugués. El baño es muy cerca de las camas comunes y es lo hace algo incómodo jajaja.
- Rafael (10/5): - Tiene una buena ubicación,cerca del centro de Porto y de varios lugares interesantes como el puente Luis I,la sé de Porto entre otros y también de la estación de metro São Bento
El personal fue muy amable
Las habitaciones son amplias y cómodas y tienen un cajón debajo de las camas para que guardes las cosas y son muy espaciosos

Volvería a quedarme en otra ocasión Todo me gustó
