Guest Reviews
- Ai (8/5): 立地と雰囲気がよい - 立地がよかった。坂の多い街だったので移動が少ない方が助かりました。ホステルも日本と似た雰囲気、治安で安心しました。

- Daniele (8/5): -

- McCarthy (7/5): -
- ralph (10/5): - Beautiful atmosphere, lovely building, great attention to detail, very clean.
- Claudia (9/5): -
- Pia (9/5): Alleinreisende in Porto - Sehr cooles Hostel mit vielen gemeinsamen Aktivitäten die das alleine Reisen angenehm machen und dazu führen das man nicht lange alleine bleibt!
- Susana Marques Duran (6/5): - La ubicación y el personal del 10, las duchas y aseos limpios y agradables. La habitación es confortable pero el tema del ruido para mi que iba en plan descanso fue abrumador, ponen tapones para los oídos pero me temo que no basta. Muchísimo ruido de los huéspedes a pesar de haber normas no las cumplen, la luz del pasillo es un incordio y las aseadoras por las mañanas bastante ruidosas también por lo que se hace difícil descansar bien.
- Ernst (9/5): -
- MIDORI (8/5): - トイレやシャワーブースが寝室と独立しており、ドライヤーをする時等に合体している宿のように寝ている人に気を使う必要がなかった。
- Marie-Pierre (9/5): -
- Leydier (10/5): Parfait - Emplacement idéal original, personnel au petit soin très agréable et concept de l’hôtel Insonorisation des chambres, mais bouchons d’oreilles fournis !
- Marcia (10/5): This is a great place to stay in Porto! - Great location, very clean, great staff! No place to hang clothes or other belongings. Some hooks in the bedrooms and bathrooms and maybe some hangers would be great.
- Mike (9/5): -
- Daniela (8/5): -
- ashlynn (10/5): Highly recommend to everyone; especially female solo travellers - This was my first hostel as a solo traveller and it was one of the best experience in my life. I will highly recommend this hostel to anyone. It has female dorms, mixed dorms and private dorms. Beds were very comfortable and it came with curtains, a clean set of 1 pillow and 1 blanket, ear plugs and a personal locker with a key as a wrist band.
The staffs were extremely friendly in making you feel welcomed and reception is available 24/7. This hostel has so many social activities each day which is perfect for meeting new people and exploring new areas of Porto. Activities range from game/quiz/karoke nights to sunset walks and bar nights. They also have other activities like surfing, getting an in-house tattoo and a full day hiking tour. I met over 15 people from different countries thank to this hostel.
Apart from this, social spaces like the lounge and kitchen area were kept clean. Breakfast was included upon check in and occasional free dinners were amazing. Toilet amenities were spotless and 2-in-1 soaps were provided. Hostel location was perfect as it was so near many restaurants, bars and attractions which lets you experience Porto so conveniently. It's also 5 mins away from the Imperial McDonalds and train rides away from Lisbon, Braga and many more. There's also metro stations and bus stops nearby the hostel. It was very easy to arrive at the hostel from the airport using Porto's public transport!
I would definitely come back to Porto and book this hostel again. When I went in end April 2026, there were alot of constructions going on outside the Sao Bento train station which was quiet noisy. However, this is not the hostel's fault and I slept quite well at night.
- Edward (10/5): - Great hostel, people were friendly and the building is amazing. Great location too.
- Bianca (10/5): Top ! Jederzeit wieder - Sehr sauber & gute Mischung aus Alt und Modern , das Personal war super freundlich
- Jonathan (9/5): Great place. - Very cool place. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very good.
Staff super friendly. Nothing.
- Margaret (10/5): Really great choice before beginning our Camino walk - Super clean, comfy mattress, great breakfast Construction outside was noisy but temporary
- LILIANI (8/5): Excelente localização - A localização é excelente, está dentro de um dos principais pontos turísticos de Lisboa. Não é algo que eu não tenha "gostado", mas seria interessante que todas as pessoas do hostel falassem a língua nativa, pois nem todos os hóspedes falam inglês.
- Olcay (9/5): - Çok merkezi, her zaman banyo tuvaletler temiz ve ihtiyaç halinde her zaman bir görevli olması ne kadar ilgili ve profesyonel olduklarını gösteriyor. Rahatlıkla tavsiye edilir. 3 katlı ranzalar çok pratik durmuyor, kullanan insanlar sürekli bir sirkülasyon halindeydi. Bir de bina gereği eski ahşap tahtalar var estetik çok güzel ama 12 kişiyle kapı gir-çık fazla sesli olabiliyor.
- GIULIA (10/5): - Tutto .. camera anzi suite enorme … dotata di ogni confort .. pulizia impeccabile…staff super disponibile -
- Christelle (8/5): -
- Josie (10/5): Best hostel I’ve ever stayed in!!! - Comfy beds!!! Great complimentary breakfast & coffee, huge upstairs kitchen for anyone to use, updated rooms & facilities, very clean, organized events every night it’s not a con but my cause some people concern, luggage holding was out in the open in the main lobby. During the day anyone is able to enter/exit through the main doors too

- Julie (7/5): -
- Kallioniemi (8/5): -
- Cristina (10/5): Cèntric i perfecte per visitar Oporto - Ubicació, personal molt amable i instal-lacions molt netes i cuidades No és culpa d’ells però les obres de l’estacio fan soroll.
- 崇 (9/5): 次回も必ず泊まるハイクオリティ・ハイパフォーマンスの宿 - ロケーションが最高。施設は歴史を感じる雰囲気はありつつも、全体的にきれいで快適でした。設備も充実しており、これまでに泊まった数十のホステルの中でもトップクオリティの宿でした。 価格と立地のせいか、宿泊者は学生が多いように感じました。そのため、私のドミトリー部屋では深夜までワイワイ雑談をしており、静かに過ごすことができませんでした。ただし同室ガチャ次第なので施設が悪いというより私の運が悪かっただけです。
- Jeannette (9/5): Genoten! - De locatie was echt geweldig! Stapelbed 3 hoog was wel een beetje spannend
- Slewis1999 (10/5): 10/10 - The staff were awesome, the location was perfect. The rooms were large and clean. The breakfast was nice and fresh every morning. The hostel was a nice vibe and great for solo travellers/ small groups. I love this place. N/A
- Saahil Singh (10/5): This is one of the best hostels you can ever stay at! -
- Scott (8/5): Great location, beautiful old building, friendly staff and a comfy stay - What’s not to like. Great location, friendly and helpful staff, beautiful building, comfortable and a really nice breakfast Nothing, we enjoyed our stay
- Marko (10/5): -
- Danika (9/5): -
- Jörg (9/5): Immer wieder - Frühstück super
Sauberkeit super morgens 7 Uhr wurden die sanitären Anlagen gereinigt
Perfekte Lage
- Gohring (9/5): Overall a positive stay. - Location, staff, entertainment, and clean The biggest pain point was the limit of one clothes washer and dryer. There is no system and inconsiderate guests would leave clothes unattended and sitting when finished. Drying racks were filled for two days with clothes already dried.
- Melanie (10/5): -
- Erdal (4/5): -
- Dana (10/5): -
- taesin (10/5): -
- Kensuke (9/5): 快適でアクセスも最高で、また利用したい。 - 水回りがキレイ
スタッフが親切 しょうがないけど、あえてあげるなら、
駅前が工事中の為、騒音がある。
- Simona (10/5): -
- Vanessa (9/5): - Ligging en accomodatie 1 medewerkster, alle anderen waren heel vriendelijk, maar die ene dame viel heer erg tegen. Spijtig
- Rika (10/5): 最高でした! - ・ロケーションが便利だった
・スタッフの方々や宿泊者の方々が優しく、フレンドリーで楽しかった!
・洗面所、トイレ、シャワー室の数が多く、待つことがなかった。清潔だった
・朝ごはん、夜ご飯も何回か無料で提供してくれたが、美味しかった。 ドミトリーの一番上だと少し登るのが大変かもです
- JIA (9/5): -
- Jakub (10/5): -
- Sarah (7/5): Great location - just beg for a bottom bunk next time. - Beds comfortable - staff very pleasant Climbing to the top for bunk 3 - the very top not on my list of things to do. Loosing my blanket at night was annoying and I wasn’t about to climb down again after already having to climb down once at 3 am to go to the bathroom.
- Rey (7/5): -
- Dianna Stavros (7/5): Adequate - Convenient to attractions. Staff were plesant only when necessary.
- Alison (10/5): Unique and ideally located. Like nowhere I’ve ever stayed before. Great breakfast - We loved the location and the convent vibe. For the price we paid we should have bath towels.
- Carlos (10/5): -
- Kim Ana (8/5): -
- Emmanuelle (10/5): Minha estadia foi excelente, o Hostel é central atendeu minhas expectativas. Voltarei! - Da localização, dos funcionários e arquitetura. Está localizado dentro da mais linda estação do Porto.
- Muhammad Omer (10/5): -
- Xueying (10/5): -
- Antonino (8/5): - La disponibilità del ragazzo della reception
- Mariana (7/5): - Está literalmente de la estación y del centro. Había paños sucio en los baños, pantuflas tiradas igual o colgadas en las duchas, había copas de vino sucias también.
- toyoharu (10/5): - スタッフ対応が親切、フレンドリー、宿泊者と交流が楽しいかった、ロケーションもコスパも最高です
- Susanne (10/5): -
- Michelle (10/5): Convent turned hip hostel! - Ideal location, super cool/vintage/classic vibe, superb systems with the key bracelet that lets you in the room, bathroom, doors, locker. Loved the community areas, kitchen/dining, living, loft, double height hallways and delicious brekkie. Really nice and helpful staff ... cant think of anything i didnt like!
- Erik (8/5): Prima - Centrale ligging Nvt
- Suvorova (9/5): -
- Cheng Yu (9/5): -
- frida (10/5): -
- Susanne (7/5): Ideaal voor een paar dagen! - De locatie was perfect, sommige personeelsleden waren wel vriendelijk, we kregen de laagste bunk (de derde is echt vreselijk hoog), ontbijt was prima! Grote kluizen, schone en ruime badkamers Er werkten enorm veel vrijwilligers, die vooral uit waren op feesten. ‘s nachts was er veel overlast in de gangen qua lawaai.
Het hostel zelf bestaat vooral uit hout, dus dat maakt veel lawaai bij het openen van deuren.
- Laurent (5/5): Top emplacement horrible les travaux à l extérieur - L emplacement au top
Propreté irréprochable L’insonorisation des chambres . Affreux aussi bien le bruit dans les couloirs et les travaux à l’extérieur … on te fournit des mousses anti bruit donc c est bien connu et c’est loin d’être terminé les travaux
- Sylvine (9/5): Super et belle auberge de jeunesse, idéalement placée - Le site, une gare historique. L’emplacement central.
L’équipe adorable et professionnelle.
La belle chambre familiale.
La propreté de la chambre et des salles d’eau et sanitaires.
Les petits déjeuners. Le bruit des travaux devant la fenêtre (ils prévoient des bouchons d’oreille )
- Wade (10/5): Give it a try. - Very close to attractions , stores, transportation hubs, cafes and restaurants. Well run, good drinks including Moscow mules, nice breakfast, facilities to cook if desired,special meal nights and karaoke nights in house, clean accessible showers and toilets. Right now there is street construction nearby. Most of us can walk, it’s easy to avoid. Beds are clean and comfortable too.
- Brian (8/5): -
- Carole (9/5): Agréable dans l’ensemble. Bonne adresse pour une nuit. - L’originalité pour une auberge de jeunesse. Le cadre de la gare er led grandes pièces à haut plafonds. Cela n’a rien à voir avec l’établissement mais ce n’est pas la gare qui fait du bruit mais la rue ( Saturday night life!) Les grandes fenêtres manque d’isolation.
- Milena (10/5): -
- Karolina (8/5): - Dziewczyna w recepcji była w złym humorze. Dala nam to odczuć. Reszta personelu bardzo miła.
- pat (10/5): We’ll be back! - Location was perfect. After flying in from the USA we took the metro and easily found the station ( although a sign outside would have been helpful. All staff ( esp Rita!) were excellent and answered our many questions! More variety in breakfasts.
- DENISE BRUNELLI (10/5): Lugar romântico , relembra filmes de época antigos - Tive que tomar café às 5 da manhã . Eles preparam com carinho, deixaram pronto numa bandeja. Podia ter mais travesseiros.
- Joana (10/5): -

- James (10/5): Unique Experience - It was a unique place to stay even with the outside renovations. The staff were very friendly and accommodating with our needs! It was under a lot of renovation outside! Some noisy periods throughout the evening.
- Ana Lucia Rio (10/5): - Trata-se do melhor hostel que já conheci. Excelente localização na cidade, bem administrado, confortável, limpo, organizado, um bom café da manhã, além da grande vantagem de ficar na própria estação de trem São Bento. Nada me desgostou.
- María K (5/5): Noisy place, great location, be aware of 3 floor bunkbed - Location is great!
Staff nice and the place was clean. You can hear everything through the walls, old building with no insulation so there for it was very noisy. I did not like the 3 floor bunkbed, way to high
