We loved the free breakfast and the attention to detail put into this. The room was big, bed was comfortable, cupboard space for belongings, jug for water, double windows with shutters helped block out traffic noise. The kitchen had everything needed for preparing own meals and the common area and balcony was such a nicely furnished and comfortable space. The owner of this property was so so lovely, so attentive and welcoming. He greeted you always with a smile and wanted to ensure we were the most comfortable. The parking underneath the building provided a stress free solution to keep our hire car whilst we explored the city - a short metro ride or about 15 minutes walk.

Located at Gaia quarter where you can get all for daily life, this calm place was the best I could get during my stay at Porto. The lovely south riverside of Douro and the WOW cultural district are in walking distance too. The kitchen is fully equipped and the staff very friendly and welcoming! 100% recommendation:)

Hands down one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at, and a great place to start the Camino! Convenient location, cozy, very clean. The staff were all exceptionally welcoming. The beds are spacious and have a big privacy curtain. Every day there is an option to join one of the 3 free walking tours. All in all, a 10/10 stay.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

This place was the best hostel for the same price i paid in other cities. I have been to 5 hostels during this trip in Spain and Portugal. Team is great. Unfortunatelly i didn't ask the name of the gentlemen at the reception but he is very accommodative and valuable Sandeman teammember. All speak English very well which makes communication simple and clear. Very picturesque view from dining room window and atmosphere is relaxing and calming. They have welcome drink, also tea time for free. Breakfast is great!

This is the best hostel i have been to. And i have done two interrail trips around Europe, probably visiting at least 30+ hostels. The location is wonderful, everybody in the staff is super nice, they have all the things you need at a good backpacker hostel, great breakfast and great dinners at affordable prices.

I loved everything about this hostel. Top location (right next to Cais de Gaia), super friendly hosts (Dina and Eduarda were helpful and gave me amazing tips on what to visit in Gaia and Porto), the dormitory was warm and very clean, the pressure of the showers was great. The vibe is a thing, you meet super cool people. I truly loved the experience.
