Pros: I like that every bedroom has its own kitchen with stoves and a fridge. It's also very close to the Douro river, WOW and the historic centre of Porto.

Excellent value for money, great location

Pros: Excellent value for money as so close to the river. Room very clean and had everything needed. Airy and light. Some street noise - almost inevitable in such a location.

Cons: After about 8pm and until at least 9am there were no staff around and what could have been a nice common area was locked up.

Everything you need for a stay in Porto.

Pros: Excellent location and great value for money. We had with an ensuite room and it was ideal. Very modern bathroom and comfy bed. Kitchen area was a bonus. Happily stay again!

Cons: Opening hours for reception maybe not ideal for some.

A clean and welcoming place with great service, perfect for a short stay.

Pros: The hostel was very clean, the photos matched the reality, the bed was comfortable, and the staff were extremely friendly. They allowed me to check in many hours earlier than the usual time, which was a huge help and much appreciated.

Cons: Nothing in particular, everything met my expectations for a short stay.

Amazing hostel right next to Cais and Ribeira

Pros: 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.

Cons: Nothing. Everything was exactly as described.
