- Julie (8/5): -
- szwec (8/5): - location was perfect for being close to the Cathedral and camino Can be noisey - bed located across from the washroom and entrance to the room. Top bunk assignment not preferable for an older person but understand it’s not always an option.
- Christine (10/5): Wonderful. I stayed there for my Camino trip. I went back for another night when I finished the Camino. Best breakfas - Great location. I bought some strawberries and the front receptionist offered to wash them for me. That’s a nice gesture that I didn’t expect.
- Mykola (10/5): -
- Lara Elis (10/5): Excepcional, na cara do Gol - Atendimento diferenciado, local agradável em todos os sentidos , quartos maravilhosos , camas nota 1000 , superou nossas expectativas, café da manhã maravilhoso Sem reclamações
- Raymond (8/5): -
- Sandra (10/5): - Location was perfect. Facility was Nader, clean and light. Breakfasts were amazing. Best way to start the day. Lots of spaces to sit and chill without having to use your bed
- Ariane Peterman (10/5): - Excelente acomodação. Funcionários educados custo benefício muito bom
- Valerio (10/5): - La ubicación es una maravilla, el lugar es muy bonito. El edificio del hostal una pasada, super lujoso. Tienen muy buen bar abajo que lamentablemente no pude disfrutar de show musical en vivo. Pero el desayuno que sirven en el mismo bar por la mañana estaba muy bueno. - Para buscar parking es muy complicado ya que se encuentra en una calle muy transitada.
- belen (10/5): Buena estadía, confiable - Si, buena habitación, cómoda, limpia
- Iina (10/5): Loved it - I loved it so much I extended my stay. :) Can recommend! -
- MartiPol (10/5): Pobyt 10/10 jeden z najlepszych hosteli w jakim byłam w samym sercu Porto - Urozmaicone śniadanie, super lokalizacja, czysto i nowocześnie Brak
- Sylvia (10/5): - Die Mitarbeiter waren topp. Es war spürbar, dass sie ihren Job lieben und gerne zusammenarbeiten. Das Frühstück war ebenfalls toll und sehr vielfältig. Ich habe mich sehr wohlgefühlt. Dankeee.
- Iina (10/5): I loved my stay here - I really enjoyed my stay here! Really comfortable and clean overall. Big lockers in dorms and the dorms look gorgeous (there's even some on the 10th floor). The beds have been placed in a way that you get maximum privacy and I loved it. Good wifi, really nice breakfast, nice lobby area for working or hanging out. Friendly staff. Hooks for hanging your towel next to your bed. Little lockers for everyone in the bathroom too. INCREDIBLY good location. Nothing! I had such a nice stay I extended my booking. Would 100% stay here again!
- Jungmi (9/5): Excellent hostel - Location is amazing and excellent breakfast. Room door isn't closed smoothly, like bang to close all the time so noisy.

- Chihiro (10/5): -
- Jiulian (9/5): Clean, peaceful hostel in the perfect location - Perfect location in the centre of Ribeira, and all the staff were super friendly.

- Christiane (9/5): - Sehr gute Lage, Frühstücksbuffet für Hostel sehr ausgewogen und reichhaltig, Bäder in Zimmern nach Reinigung sehr sauber! In den Zimmern bzw. An den Betten könnte Möglichkeit zum aufhängen feuchter Kleidung/ Jacke geben

- GEN (10/5): -
- Mohammed (8/5): -
- Barbora (9/5): - Ubytování mě mile překvapilo, čistá postel i sprchy. Super snídaně s velkým výběrem, oddychová zóna byla fajn místem k odpočinku. Strašně vrzala palanda, na jednom z 2 wc na pokoji nebyl celé dva dny toal. papir a to tam pani byla “uklizet”. Jedine, co mi na ubytovani chybělo, je kuchyňka a větší prostor v palende, ja mam 157 a ani sem si nemohla sednout, abych se nepraštila do hlavy :D
- Lee feng (10/5): -
- Bryan (9/5): - Cleanliness Noise from traffic

- Melanie (7/5): -
- Yanzi (9/5): - 床和被子很舒服，早餐也很丰盛 储物柜有点难拉
- Tomek (9/5): - Bohatá snídaně
- chay (10/5): - A localização é perfeita, a limpeza é organização são sensacionais, agora o café da manhã é digno de Hotel ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
- Corinne MICHEL (9/5): Une solution d’hébergement idéale pour découvrir Porto, en plein cœur de la Ribeira ! - Une localisation parfaite, en plein cœur de la Ribeiro, un établissement au top pour toutes les catégories d’âge et un petit déjeuner buffet inclus à tomber à la renverse. Le meilleur rapport qualité prix de la ville . La salle de bain collective (pour l’une des chambres de 8 places) mériterait d’être rénovée. Les robinets d’eau fonctionnaient mal.
- Simone (6/5): - Posizione centralissima Un po' costoso per essere un ostello, pulizia non proprio top
- ALESSANDRO (8/5): - Colazione eccezionale, letto comodissimo.
- isla (8/5): -
- Duarte (10/5): - Tudo Nada
- Yuliya (9/5): -
- Ahmet (6/5): - Kahvaltıda seçenekler azdı. Odada sokak gürültüsü çok fazlaydı. Yataklar da ses çıkarıyordu.
- Camila De Cassia Do Socorro (10/5): -
- Mombelli (10/5): -
- 여여 (10/5): - 위치, 조식, 친절, 청결...모두
- Andrew (8/5): -
- Marguerite (6/5): - Cliente assidue depuis 7 ans, Barcelone, Lisbonne, Porto, j'aime cette chaîne d'hostels pour l'ambiance et les emplacements. L'"UPKEEP" des équipements à Porto laisse à désirer et l'usure commence à se faire ressentir un peu partout dans l'établissement. Une mise à jour serait nécessaire. Petits déjeunersnourriture: Manque un peu de tout, les plats sont toujours vides et pas remplacés, faut toujours demander et attendre longtemps (2 matins sur 3!). Grille-pain inadéquat.
- Justyna (10/5): -
- Jane (10/5): Excellent place to stay in Porto - Location, the building, the staff Nothing
- HYE JIN (10/5): - 위치가 넘 좋았어요!! 방창문에서 동루이스 다리가 보이는것도 최고!!! 침대도 깔끔하고 콘센트와 USB port 충전 단자가 따로 있는것도 편했어요..조식도 무료제공인데 뷔페식으로 종류도 다양해서 좋았어요!
- Jens (5/5): Perfekte Lage mit Lärm und Badezimmer Mägeln - Modernes freundliches Zimmer, schönes Bad , grosse Dusche, gutes Frühstück, angenehme Aufenthaltsräume Keine Fenster zum öffnen, Dusche stark mit Schimmel da Dunstabzug in Dusche und Bad nicht läuft , 2 Haken im Bad und kaum Ablagefläche Extremer Strassenlärm in der Nacht
- Yeung (10/5): -
- Mascia (10/5): - Tutto Niente
- Zigor (9/5): -
- ELODIE (10/5): Excellent - Super hôtel très bon emplacement très propre
- JOSE LUIS (10/5): Maravilloso - Me gustó todo. Muy moderno y confortable. El desayuno muy completo y abundante. La ubicación a metros de la ribera No tengo nada que se pueda mejorar
- Victoria (10/5): Amazing - I am coming back after I finish my Camino - Honestly the location, the vibe, the easiness of everything - also I was very positively surprised by the breakfast Nothing
- Sergio correia Da silva (7/5): -
- Lorenzo (10/5): -
- Anastasia (10/5): - The best hostel in Porto so far
- Patricia (8/5): -
- iker joseba (8/5): -
- Raquel (8/5): Bom, lembrando que tem que ser habituado a dividir quartos com mais de 3 a 4 pessoas. - É um bom alojamento, para quem está acostumado a dividir quartos. Fora isso o ambiente e as demais opções de entretenimento dentro do local Tudo ok
- Licia (3/5): - La struttura è in una buona posizione. Molto sporca, mal tenuta. In camera c’era un cestino con dentro degli asciugamani per raccogliere acqua, in bagno un lavandino su due non funzionava, sono entrata in camera e c’era spazzatura da ogni parte. Ogni cosa, lucchetto, asciugamani, era a pagamento.
- Andrea (10/5): - Super Lage! Angenehme Betten mit Vorhängen zur Steigerung der Privatsphäre.
- Lucas (9/5): Melhor hospedagem no Porto - Me senti em casa desde o primeiro até o último momento da minha hospedagem. O staff foi extremamente acolhedor e sempre respondeu minhas dúvidas com muita atenção e simpatia. Isso fez toda a diferença durante a viagem. Achei o hostel muito bem equipado, organizado e confortável. Os banheiros eram acessíveis e sempre funcionaram muito bem para mim. Mesmo ficando em quarto compartilhado, não tive nenhum problema — pelo contrário, fiquei em uma cama muito bem localizada e tive uma ótima experiência. O café da manhã também merece destaque: muito bom, completo e com bastante variedade. Gostei bastante das áreas sociais do hostel, que ajudam a relaxar, conhecer novas pessoas e trocar experiências com outros hóspedes. Outro detalhe que achei muito legal foi a máquina de fliperama, que eu adorei jogar também e que deixou o ambiente ainda mais divertido. Além de tudo isso, a localização é excelente e facilita muito conhecer a cidade do Porto a pé e aproveitar melhor a viagem. Obrigado pela recepção e pela experiência. Com certeza foi uma hospedagem que marcou minha viagem de forma muito positiva!
