Guest Reviews

• Vicky (6/5): - Great location, once you work out the walk at lower or upper level or the bridge! Clean, good and generous breakfast, super view from the shared dining/lounge space. Not as social as I'd have liked. TV always on - no sound - is it necessary? Individual bed space in the dorm generous and comfy, and enclosed individual bathrooms good.
• Beth (9/5): -
• J. Carlos (9/5): - personal
• Franz (10/5): Hervorragende Unterkunft, sehr zu empfehlen. - In allen Belangen -
• Simon (10/5): - Everything
• Vana (10/5): -
• Kamil (10/5): -
• Dionisios (10/5): - all is good, no comments even more than expected I will come back when I land in Porto by plane I had peace Thank you all. It was more than I expected, good service very very satisfied, also with the location etc. breakfast super good Thank you Notting
• Teodor (10/5): - Jako ljubazna djevojka na recepcijim. Hostel se nalazi na savršenoj lokaciji. Ima divan dnevni boravak za odmor. Previše prljavštine i fleka po metalnoj konstrukciji ispod madraca.
• CARLA (10/5): un lugar singular para visitar Oporto, la mejor vista a Oporto - Buen desayuno incluido con opción de solicitar mas productos con un valor razonable Muy buena atención en distintos idiomas, y la mejor ubicación para mirar y pasear por zona patrimonial de Oporto , cerca del Puente San Luis nada, todo bien , excelente atención , y lo mejor es que esta relacionado a una de las mas importantes bodegas de oporto, y permite servicios adicionales de Tour y degustación de Oporto
• Karim (10/5): - El personal fue muy amable.
• Sebastian (10/5): :) - El comedor con las vistas a la ciudad, el espacio que había entre las camas y el tamaño de las camas. Lo único que no me gustó es que las puertas de los baños de las habitaciones tengan agujeros en la parte inferior y tampoco que fuesen tan delgadas, ya que, estas dos características hacían que no haya privacidad sonora entre los baños y las camas por más que había una puerta que separaba baños de camas. Sin mencionar que si una persona se agacha, puede ver todo a traves de los agujeros de las puertas de los baños, por lo que también se ve comprometida la privacidad visual. Sinceramente esas cosas fueron lo único que no me agradó, todo lo demás me encantó!
• Volker (9/5): -
• Mombelli (9/5): - Die Herbergenbetten sind seht schön. Super ist, dass man eine abschliessbare Box hat und den Rucksack und evt. Wertsachen einschliessen kann. Ich persöhnlich hatte lieber wenn Geschlächtertrennung im Schlafsaal wäre. Ist meine Meinung. Keine Notiz
• Ruth (10/5): -
• Ziyoda (10/5): -
• Vetlugina (10/5): Overall excellent stay, would come back. - Lovely breakfast - I unexpectedly discovered the wonders of a pumpkin jam. The location is very picturesque, plus the hostel is right above a port winery, which is great if you are travelling for wine tastings. Beds are wide and comfy, there is some space on the sides of the bed to put some essentials. The only downside of the location is that its all the way down at the riverside, so if you want to walk around the city center you need to either climb A LOT of stairs or pay for a funicular.
• Steven (10/5): -
• Robert (8/5): Great Location, Very friendly breakfast staff - Excellent Location, Great View I book a Superior Room with a River and City View. I was given a Handicap accessible room when other Superior rooms were available. The room did have a view, but the bathroom had no vanity and had a shower curtain that didn’t keep water from flowing on the bathroom floor.
• Andreas (9/5): -
• KJ (9/5): - Super Lage, Frühstücksbuffet war schnell leer geräumt und wurde während ich da war nicht aufgefüllt. Es war viel los, wollte das personal nicht ansprechen deshalb
• Stephen Tran (9/5): Looking forward to return with improved mattresses and bed. Will recommend to others to stay. - Excellent location on the riverfront, very spacious and clean facilities, free breakfast, activities organized through hostel, close to many Wine cellars. Shampoo and bodywash not included with stay. Bed and mattress were not comfy.
• Mohamed (10/5): -
• Tobias (8/5): Fantastiskt boende i en vacker stad! - Fantastiskt läge med underbar vy! God frukost och trevlig personal!
• Lynn (9/5): The location was great. We enjoyed our stay. - Our was clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Nothing
• Marshall (10/5): - Everything Nothing
• Laura (10/5): -
• Nancy (10/5): Making a trip to Porto, Portugal? Stay here! - A total stay of three nights (one before I started my Camino de Santiago walk and two at the end) says it all - a true gem of a place in Porto. All three of the nights I stayed were wonderful, there was nothing I did not like.
• Kajji (10/5): -
• jose luiz maio de (10/5): - Gostei de tudo localização, conforto, limpeza,localização O café incluso na diária é um pouco fraco, mas nada quexxdçj.
• Lia (10/5): - The location was ideal, the staff were very friendly, the room was beautiful and well appointed, the common area was super comfy and inviting and the breakfast delicious! We loved all of it!
• Susanna (3/5): - Good location There was no vegan breakfast option. Even though I said I was vegan when I arrived. The gluten free bread was warmed up in a bag which was not ok. It was straight from the freezer. It was cold inside. Some staff were not service minded. Strange rules in the kitchen. Also I had to pay extra for oatly milk when I wanted to drink coffee in addition to the breakfast for 1 euro. I don't call this a hostel. I am a backpacker and stay in many hostels so this was on the minus side apart from the location. Extremely responsive!
• Robert (4/5): Great location but Look for other options unless you are okay with rude treatment. - The location was exactly what I needed. One of the male staff members who checked us was okay on check in, however the next morning when I made a small request he was extremely rude.
• Michael (8/5): -
• Yuliia (9/5): -
• Lea (10/5): - Nice breakfast with a view :)
• Carol (10/5): - Breakfast was plentiful and good. Staff very accommodating and friendly. Clean modern bathroom. Loved the reading light and privacy screening of beds
• Josef (10/5): -
• Alberto (6/5): -
• Manfred Bachmann (10/5): - Das ist mit Abstand die beste Unterkunft in Porto. Vielen Dank an die lieben Mitarbeiter die uns jeden Wunsch erfüllt haben.

• Tina (9/5): - Fabulous location and staff. Spacious shared rooms, always clean! Everything truly clean and sheets smelled great. Comfy bed. And amazing breakfast! Not just toast and jam but more nutricious foods incl fresh orange juice. Special thanks to lovely Anna and friendly Antonio. Happy to stayed here. The only disadvantage was that beds structure is connected so when your neighbour moved in her bed, you will feel it. Also the door to room 2 are heavy and always slammed and make noise even through i tried to be careful. If they would be upgraded to something newer and lighter, that would be total 10.
• Svitlana (10/5): -
• Alicia (10/5): -
• Gary Michiels (9/5): - Ligging
• Yuta (10/5): Stay as a picture. - Location, comfort, everything. Specially, the view from the living room. Staffs also are very helpful.
• Margarita (8/5): -
• Luke (10/5): Seeing Porto for the 2nd time. Love the city, lots of steep climbs, transport system is easy to use. Easy to meet people - Beautiful interior, iconic beds, great staff (especially Marta) would love to visit again! N/A
• Tbatou (10/5): -
• Sarah (10/5): -
• Natalia (8/5): -
• Elisabeth (9/5): - Wunderschönes Hotel, sehr feiner Zmorge
• Loic (6/5): Nice place but extremely noisy until 1:30 am. Before that impossible to sleep even with earplugs - Difficult to leave a negative comment as the staff were super nice and the place has a lot of charm. If you like to party late in the evening, this place could be a good place. If you need to recover this place will not give you this. The en Suite is located on the second floor and have an amazing view on Porto. But it is right above the terrace of two bars and restaurants, were a lot of people talk, music is loud, street musician playing all day. E.g. impossible to sleep before 1:30 am in the morning especially as the glass is single glazing.
• Nathalie (10/5): Très bien - La situation au dessus et près des caves. L'esprit auberge de jeunesse, salon avec boisson chaude toute la journée, le petit déjeuner autour d'une grande table style monastère. Pas d'ascenseur et beaucoup de marches.
• Irmgard (7/5): -
• Scott (10/5): -
• Ilse (10/5): -
• Bastiaan (9/5): Absoluut een nieuwe ervaring. Positieve ervaring! - Fijne locatie. Kamer comfortabel. Misschien wat gehorig van buiten...
• Pierbarra (9/5): - La pulizia e la cantina Per un ostello, ci sono pochi eventi sociali dove conoscere le altre persone
• Pascal (6/5): - De locatie De kamer
• Karin (10/5): Fantastisch - De prijs, locatie, ontbijt....
• CATHERINE (8/5): Agréable et à refaire. - L’emplacement au bord du Douro avec une vue « carte postale » de Porto. Pas d’ascenseur. Système de commande pour le petit déjeuner pas très clair.
• Audrey (10/5): - Superbe! En plein coeur de Porto, directement sur les quais dans une des maisons historiques. Que demander de mieux. Une décoration superbe, mêlant vintage et moderne. Des lits confortables, de l'espace, salle de bains propres. Personnel très sympa. Partie bar sympa pour un verre et tres bon petit déjeuner Merci
• Julie (10/5): Hubby's 60th birthday present visit and our anniversary trip - The staff were excellent especially Martha who couldn't do enough for us. Bed was so comfortable I had the best night's sleep I've had in sometime. Location is superb for everything we needed.to do. And hubby was very happy with the happy hour as got to drink some of his favourite port at a reduced price 😁 would definitely stay again and would recommend to friends and family x

• Karolina (10/5): - The House of Sandeman położony jest tuż nad rzeką Douro i zachwyca wyjątkowym widokiem na Porto. Świetna atmosfera, wyjątkowa lokalizacja - najlepsza! Wspaniała obsługa dostępna 24h/dobę. Pyszne Vinho Porto! Doskonale!

• Isabella (9/5): - Die Lage ist Mega, man kann alles überall gut zu Fuss erreichen! Frühstück war ausreichend, Bäder acjön gross ! Im Zimmer hat es etwas muffig gerochen, aber wahrscheinlich weil keine Fenster offen waren!

• Est-hertje (10/5): - Fantastisch hotel op een prachtige plek. Het personeel was heel vriendelijk en de manier van een ontbijt serveren meesterlijk. Daar kunnen andere hotels een voorbeeld aan nemen. We hebben genoten.
• Carlos (10/5): -
• Stefanie (10/5): - Im House of Sandemann habe ich mir nach dem Caminho Portugues noch zwei Tage Ruhe gegönnt. Es war perfekt. Ich würde 15 Punkte vergeben, wenn möglich. Besonders hervorheben möchte ich das super freundliche Personal. Die Mischung aus Komfort und "Easy Going" hat mir super gut gefallen. Obrigado! Das Licht im schwarzen Treppenhaus könnte etwas heller sein. Ich musste mein Handylicht einschalten, um mein Zimmer wiederzufinden. 😉
• Mariana (10/5): -
• MG (9/5): Heerlijke plek tussen de porthuizen! - De plek is fantastisch. Niets
• Harald (8/5): - Overall very good. The type of bed in room 4. Entering only from the end. Water problems in tne bathroom spilling into the corridor.
• Jade (10/5): -
• Joao Carlos (8/5): Excelente - Localização e pequeno almoço
• Felipe (9/5): -
• Nathalie (10/5): -
• Sebastian (10/5): Vista al rio maravillosa con camas increibles. - La cama y la vista al río y a la ciudad estaban increíbles. Los desayunos también son muy buenos, y el personal muy amable. La ubicación es muy céntrica y maravillosa para caminar, pero no recomendable para ir en auto. Hay solo 1 estacionamiento privado a aproximadamente 7 min caminando y cuesta +20 EUR la noche. Además, las calles alrededor son bastante estrechas y empinadas.
