Porto Hostel Cúpula

My favourite spot in Porto

Pros: Cozy hostel, well managed,quiet ,clean ,nice people, gorgeous stylish common bathroom at 1st floor ,marble tiles, wide shower area.

Excellent value for the price we paid.

Pros: I really appreciated that we were allowed to check in early. After an early morning flight, being able to sleep and rest right away was a lifesaver!

Cons: The room was a bit chilly at first, but there was a heater provided and it eventually warmed up.

Good deal!

Pros: Friendly staff, fast check-in, location is easy to reach, able to check-in a bit earlier ( that was amazing ) and the price was great overall! I would come back but please check the shower issue!

Cons: Shower didn't work well, it was not possible to adjust the temperature ( the water was very hot ) and it was extremely noisy ( water pressure/material/pipes ?? ) . The room is not well insolated so you can hear the general noise in the corridor but I would say that it was minor compared to the shower issue, You can only access the building once you have and understand the code to enter.

I love it!

Pros: We stayed in a room for three, which had an ensuite bathroom. The check-in process was straightforward. They use an app for access—you simply tap a button to open the building and room doors. Everything was very clean, including the shower, and the bed linens were good. The shared kitchen was well-stocked with all essentials: cutlery, a toaster, an oven, a microwave, and a refrigerator. Free Wi-Fi is also provided.

Cons: just one thing. one single bed has one leg of four shorter it makes bed curved in one side.

Pros: tiny and cosy hostel , clean and quiet ,I felt as at home...I'll be back

Pros: The hostel is clean and located near the metro. The automatic check-in is very convenient, making it easy to check in at any time. Other guests were friendly, and I felt very safe during my stay.

Cons: My room was right next to the stairs, so it was pretty noisy. The window faced the stairs too, so every time someone walked by, the light would turn on and shine into the room.

Good location and nice room.

Pros: Nice location, 3 min walk from a subway station. The room was clean. Check in was easy and the access code was convenient.

Cons: Could have a chair for the desk and a towel for the feet.

Decent digs in a lovely city.

Pros: The kitchen was big, bright and well equipped. Bathroom was a decent size and shower was good. There was also a fantastic, very stylish communal shower room. There was working air con in the room. The room was a double but there was three of us so an extra bed had been put in the room. Without the extra bed, the room would have been plenty big enough but with it, it was a bit cramped. The extra bed was also wobbly and very uncomfortable. At no point was the property 'manned', however somebody was contactable by phone. We contacted the admin number for advice about a taxi to the airport, they did reply in the affirmative but by then we had made other arrangements. Walking, the hostel was about 15 minutes from the station and about 15 minutes the other way into the city. It seemed a good neighbourhood and there were plenty of restaurants and bars on the way into the city. I would stay there again.

Cons: The extra bed was very wobbly and uncomfortable. My fellow travellers reported itching in the morning, they had slept in the double bed, but I was fine, having slept in the extra bed.

I will be back for sure!

Pros: I absolutely loved the huge windows — they flooded the space with beautiful natural light! The communal showers were fantastic, spacious, and completely enjoyable, creating a refreshing and relaxing vibe. The overall space is incredible: big, bright, and welcoming, with the added bonus of a private option for extra comfort. Can’t recommend it enough!

Cons: Just a small hiccup: my food got stuck inside the machine in the middle of the night, which was a bit frustrating since there was no one available to help. Still, overall, a wonderful experience I’d highly recommend!

100% comfortable

Pros: Probably the best hostel I’ve been to yet. Everything is modern, good quality, clean and looks really good. Compared to other hostels it’s pretty quiet since there are not as many dorm rooms, but also smaller private rooms. The beds are very comfortable. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The best part for me is the kitchen - big, completely new and fully equipped. Electric stove, toaster, sandwich toaster, water cooker, microwave, big fridge, pans, plenty dishes etc. Perfect place especially for a long-term stay.
