Guest Reviews
- Camilla (9/5): - Posizione eccellente, camere belle e pulite! Spazio esterno molto carino ed accogliente!
- Franziska (8/5): -
- Christine (10/5): -
- Ella (10/5): Friendly staff, great bed nooks, enjoying outdoor patio area. - The staff was incredibly kind to me. The outdoor patio area was a lovely get away from the city noise of Porto, and it had a very friendly cat out there! Facilities were clean, and bed setup/cleanliness was exceptional. N/A
- Mathias Nesensohn (10/5): - Sehr toller Garten zum chillen, Nettes Personal
- Dorsch (7/5): -
- SEVERINO (5/5): Legalzinho. -
- Giulia (10/5): - Personale accogliente e gentilissimo, camere e bagni puliti, letti comodi e ben attrezzati (ricarica telefono, luce, ripiano, ganci). Posizione strategica per girare a piedi tutta Porto, giardino ombreggiato, rilassante con amache, sedie e tavolini, zone comuni ben tenute e confortevoli, buona colazione. Nei bagni si potrebbero sostituire alcune cose (guarnizioni porte doccia, asse wc che "balla", coperchio scarico doccia che si sposta per cui si rischia di scivolare).
- Jana (10/5): - Skvělé ubytování, kousek do centra. Zařízení i personál super, všichni moc milý, ochotní. Skvěle zařízené buňky, dostatek soukromí a přitom přátelská atmosféra. Super zahrada s houpací sítí pro relax. Určitě doporučuji pro solocestovatele, kteří hledají přátelské prostředí a přitom dostatek soukromí.
- Zidane (8/5): - Lugar bonito Do preço muito caro
- Fabrício Bruner (9/5): -
- Pavlina (9/5): -
- Andrea (8/5): - Sehr freundliches Personal. Super Lage. Bad direkt am Zimmer. Kleine Kapsel zum schlafen Bad sehr eng. Klobrille war defekt
- Manuela (10/5): Muy recomendado - las instalaciones del hostal son buenas, las camas son cómodas y tienen una cortina para mayor privacidad, las duchas muy buenas con agua caliente. Es un hostal muy central y es fácil movilizarse caminando, cerca hay panaderías, supermercados y tiendas de souvenir. Mejorar el desayuno ya que por 7 USD no es tan buena la variedad.
- Shion (10/5): -
- Peter (10/5): - Ich komme immer gerne in das Hostel, Personal sehr freundlich bemüht und hilfsbereit, gutes Frühstück, Betten sehr gut

- Tommy (8/5): - 很好的一個地方,老闆專業有經驗,而且樂於助人,很開心旅程開始能夠住到這裏。 要行一小段斜路,不算很高,可以接受。
- Romana Ana (8/5): Fair price for fair service. - Nice staff. Beautiful garden. Cute bunks that give you some privacy. Nothing really.
- Daniele (9/5): Ottima scelta, flessibile e di qualità - Cordialità dello staff: giovane e simpatico. Area verde interna praticamente al centro della città dove è possibile anche far sostare la bicicletta (il mio mezzo di viaggio), con tante amache molto comode. Colazione offerta forse migliorabile
- Roberto (8/5): -

- B (9/5): Nice staff, clean rooms, fun little garden. Close to city centre - Nice private bedbunks because of curtains, private plug inside to charge your phone Fresh breads at breakfast
- Maria (9/5): -
- Sandra (9/5): - Die Zimmer sind super sauber und die Betten sehr gemütlich. Durch die Vorhänge und ein abschließbares Gebäckfach unter dem Bett hatte man genug Privatsphäre und Stauraum. Der Garten war wunderschön um sich zu erholen! Auch das Personal war sehr lieb und zuvorkommend! In der Küche gab es alles, was braucht, wenn man selbst kochen möchte!
Für mich der perfekte Ort, um sich vor oder nach dem Camino zu stärken!
(Zur Kathedrale von Porto waren es nur knapp 10min Fußweg.) Das Badezimmer war etwas düster und hatte die ein oder anderen Gebrauchsspuren. Allerdings für einen kurzen Aufenthalt für ein Hostel absolut ausreichend und für mich persönlich absolut okay!
- Verna (9/5): - Tosi kiva paikka. suuressa huoneessa oli kaksi wctä ja suihkua ja toisen ovi oli rikki.

- Joan (8/5): -
- Svenja (9/5): Ich komme gerne wieder - Ich schlief hier zwei Nächte.
Ich habe selten so liebe Besitzer kennen gelernt. Es ist ein familiengeführtes Hostel.
Als ich hier ankam wurde ich sehr herzliche empfangen und kann jedem nur Wünschen hier ein Bett zu bekommen ☺️
Es gibt eine Decke und ein Kissen, welches wie für mich gemacht war.
In jedem Bett gibt es eigenes Licht, einen Ventilator und eine Steckdose.
Das Frühstück kann hier dazu gebucht werden (günstiger als bei Booking) und ist völlig ausreichend für einen guten Start in den Tag.
Das Hostel hat einen richtig süßen Garten mit echtem Rasen, Hängematten, Bar und Sitzmöglichkeiten bis in den Abend rein. Meine Matratze ist furchtbar. Es fühlt sich an, als läge sie nicht flach im Bett sondern ist konvex. Das sorgt dafür, dass man sich beim Drehen wie auf einem Schiff fühlt. Rechts ist auf der langen Seite ein großer Spalt, bei dem mir mein Handy und mein Pullover runter fielen.
Dennoch. Wenn man aufpasst kann man gut schlafen.
- Helena (10/5): Great hostel experience for solo traveller - Great hostel, I had such a good time here! Very comfortable and clean, the garden was great to hang out in, hammocks are always a big draw for me. I’m 38 and travel solo so wanted a quiet/ sociable vibe but not a party hostel, that’s exactly what I got. And some great tips from the owner about good local spots. Super friendly staff as well, especially Catarina. Thank you! Nothing
- Rempel (8/5): Ruhige Nacht in Porto - Das Bett war bequem, im Zimmer war es für 12 Personen relativ ruhig. Es wurde Nachts sehr warm.
Badezimmer schlecht beleuchtet.
Badezimmer Türen sollten mal geölt werden
Zuwenig Ablage in den Nasszellen

- Roland (8/5): -
- Alison (10/5): Really enjoyed my stay, the staff were wonderfully helpful and and did everything to make up to me for a bad experience - Really good location, excellent facilities
Staff were so kind and helpful. Nothing
- Seecharan (8/5): - Overall very good. Only slight complaints are that the shower in our bedroom doesn't drain very quickly and that there wasn't air conditioning in the bedroom, which meant the room was very hot.
- claudia (10/5): - Staff was very helpful
- Lilo (10/5): -
- Marcin (10/5): -
- Caroline (6/5): Pause courte pour une escale, efficace mais je resterais pas plus de 3 nuits - La localisation
L’accueil été parfait Les box sont mal fixé à la chambre 3 le box tremble à chaque fois que quelqu’un marche
1 salle de bain pour dix
Il faut être patient
Et malgré les bouchons d’oreilles bruit en continue dans la nuit
- Verity (10/5): -
- Dario Giuseppe (9/5): Very nice stay at Urban Garden Hostel Porto - I really enjoyed my stay at Urban Garden Porto Central Hostel. Very good position (you can easily reach the city centre by walking in 10-15 min) and close to the metro station. The beds are very nice and provide you with the right amount of privacy, even if you are in a dormitory. The 2 available bathrooms, the kitchen, the laundry and the lovely garden complete the services of the hostel. The staff was nice and very welcoming, especially the French girl who helped me to check how to easily get to the airport. -
- Chan kai hao (8/5): - 位置還不錯, 房間也很大, 浴室也很大, 員工也很不錯, 感覺是很適合長住的地方 我住六人房, 室內掛衣物的設備偏少, 要跟同寢的人搶
私人櫃位的大小偏小, 而且是放在床底下的地上, 並沒有一個櫃子的感覺, 個人認為不太實用
- KHAI WEN (9/5): -
- Brigitte (10/5): - propre , agréable , jolie jardin, cuisine propre
accueil serviable
- Marek (8/5): - Chałas i rozmowy gości do późnych godzin nocnych, racjonowane śniadania, dodatkowa opłata za ręcznik
- Livia (9/5): Would definitely go again! :) - Very friendly, open and clean. Great location close to everything and good connection to the airport. I also like the security possibilities, including a key that you get for a locker and individual lockers for luggage storage instead of one big space for all. Nice privacy with curtains on the beds. The cosiest is of course the little garden oasis. :)

- patrick (10/5): -
- f8701938fc2b718950cd600c6a1fce03 (8/5): Aufenthalt war für mich akzeptabel - Gemütlich, ausreichend Platz im 8 Bettzimmer, Kojen mit Vorhängen und abschließbaren Stauraum Die Duschen könnten eine Renovierung gebrauchen, jeder verlässt das Bad anders.
- abc9fd092b5273a6c1d8951637941a15 (9/5): Molto positiva, qualità-prezzo-posizione perfetta. Ho avuto anche l’opportunità di creare una bella amicizia. Molto gent - L’ostello é in una posizione molto centrale, comoda per girare la città a piedi. E comunque la stazione della metro é 4 minuti a piedi per i vari collegamenti (incluso aeroporto) Il bagno era un po’ piccolo per una stanza in cui eravamo in 14
- 23a92c388d5f71faec83eca6c6400713 (5/5): - Leider nicht so gut, die Sanitären Anlagen waren eine Katastrophe und ziemlich dreckig. Stromausfall während man duscht war auch nicht nett. Die Bilder versprechen was anderes, ich bin enttäuscht

- Erkin (8/5): - Very nice hostel, clean and comfortable. Very nice and helpful staff members. Just for your attention they ask for 10 euro deposit for the key, which they will return you on your checkout. Nothing
- Danica (8/5): Good all round - Great staff, privacy of the beds was great and common areas and kitchen had everything you need. I would request a bed that does not directly open onto the bathroom doors in whatever room you are in:)
