    The sinage on the door outside could be better. Even though there was a good description {Three Red Doors} the theater beyon had three red doors too! The actual sign was so tiny. It was my first stay in Europe so I guess I needed to get used to cluing into tiny signage

    Fantastic breakfast homemade jam and cake. The staff were so helpful too. The location was central and we even found a bakery opposite - Bread in Portugal such a treat.

    I recently stayed at beingportohostel in Porto and had an amazing experience! From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. They provided great recommendations for local attractions and dining options, which made my stay even more enjoyable. The hostel itself was clean, comfortable, and had a vibrant atmosphere. My room was spacious, the bed was comfortable, and the facilities were well-maintained. I particularly appreciated the common areas, which were perfect for relaxing and meeting fellow travelers. The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy to prepare meals. One of the highlights of my stay was the hostel's excellent location. It was situated close to major landmarks, public transportation, and some fantastic restaurants and bars. This made exploring Porto incredibly convenient. The combination of friendly staff, clean and comfortable accommodations, and a prime location made my stay unforgettable. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Porto!

    Keys/lock were extremely annoying to use to open the doors, having a scan key would be way more efficient. More information could have been given around the private external bathroom as we were unsure if others were using it as it wasn’t directly next to our room. Found a couple of spiders in the beds

    Perfect location- walking distance to everything. Rooms were tidy and beds comfy.

    Central place with excellent staff
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Small Double Room with Private Bathroom
    • Stayed 2 nights

    For us, it was a little bit difficult to find/get into the hostel - there is no big sign on door No. 13 (all three doors of the same color belong together) and although the street number was correct, when ringing, no one was opening the door so we spent like 15 minutes walking around the block and looking for the right entrance. We considered the price for quite a simple and small room quite high, but accommodation in Porto, especially in the city center is expensive.

    The best of this place was the excellent staff, very nice and always ready to help. The hostel is centrally located in the heart of the city, not far away from the cathedral and the lively Ribeira district, and within easy walking distance to any place in the historical center. Getting from/to the airport, we took the bus 601 or 602 to Cordoaria which takes approx. 1 hour, from there it is about 10 minutes walking to the hostel (Porto streets are very hilly and partially in very bad conditions). We had a double room with a private bathroom. The room was very clean but quite small and basic, but it looks like that in Porto all houses have small rooms as they are very narrow. The breakfast was good, especially the handmade porridge was delicious. We would stay here again and can recommend it to other travelers. For those starting the Camino in Porto: The hostels/hotels DO NOT sell the Credential de Peregrino, nor the official Tourist information. You can only buy it in the Catedral shop (was closed) or in the Albergue de Peregrinos on the Camino, a little bit outside of the city center (we did).

    I had a great experience staying at this hostel. I stayed there for four nights and I was lucky enough to have great roomies. The staff was also extremely kind and accommodating. Breakfast was also nice: eggs, porridge, coffee, cereals, bread, fruit, and cake. Great value for money! I would for sure come back to this hostel.

    The stairs and taking my 25kg luggage up it, but that is normal for Porto houses and I would still stay in Porto Hostel.

    Being Porto Hostel is excellent. The environment is very friendly, both the staff and the people that gravitate to this hostel. There are stairs which you'll have to take your luggage up, but that is fairly normal for Porto hostels. One of my favourite features of this hostel was that the toilet/bathroom was outside your room and only available to those in your room. That way it offers more privacy and it is spacious. It is a lovely old building and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here, I wouldn't want to look anywhere else to stay in Porto.

    Only complaint is that there is no elevator, climbing stairs with luggage is pretty tiring but that's just me nitpicking. 10/10 otherwise

    Lovely staff, clean and well maintained rooms and bathrooms, decent breakfast and very centrally located making all the hotspots in the city easily accessible
