    If other rooms are noisier, some people might be affected, as you hear people talking. But that depends on the other guests and how busy the place is. In my case it wasn't an issue.

    Super nice room, like on the pictures, and a cool old-school balcony overlooking the street. Very clean everything, bathroom too, and also relatively quiet. Closing the windows I didn't hear the street, and people from other rooms were very quiet, so slept well. Very centrally located, lots of shops and some nice restaurants around, plus a metro.

    Maybe a little renovation would upgraded it in a solid 10 for me ♡

    -The staff is very friendly and helpful, especially the guy with the long hair that welcomed me discreetly and with all the important information I might need! :') ♡ -The location is perfect, 2 steps from the metro. -it has spaces that you feel privacy which I really loved, especially because I was working remote and I felt like in my own home -The bathroom, even though old, it was always very clean -super comfortable beds for a hostel which I'm sure long-term travelers will appreciate!!

    I wish there was clearer info on their booking.com page that there's no staff at the hostel after 8 pm. And it would be nice for there to be more bathrooms.

    I had a very comfortable stay at the hostel - the shared rooms had really nice bunk beds with curtains for each bunk so there was privacy and a balcony looking to the street. The terrace and kitchen are nice, and the staff was super sweet too!

    The rooms are not sound proof. You can hear what your neighbours talking. If they are noisy, your sleep will get disrupted. There is no lift so if you are allocated top floors, you need to climb 4-5 flight of stairs.

    Great location. Walking distance to city center (~ 20 mins). Lots of shops/ restaurants/ shopping centers nearby. Close to metro. Well maintained place.

    It was a good central location. The staff was very nice and friendly, we only stayed one night but were allowed to keep our bags with them the day we were leaving. A good central location, close to a metro stop and walking distance to multiple interesting sites.

    I've lost my reservation due a disrupted fly. They were very flexible and understandable to recognise the issue keeping my booking valid.Really appreciate it. The structure is ok , the only thing I couldn't sleep bc was really warm inside the room considering that It hasn't air conditioner as neither fan. The rest of the things were ok.

    It seemed no hot water for shower on the first day, we had to go downstairs to have a shower.

    The location is very good, close to most of the attractions. A supermarket is close by. The staff at very friendly and helpful. I was very happy with the room.

    Nothing, everything went very well :)

    Great position, very close to the city center and the room was fantastic, with an amazing balcony that faced one of the main streets of Porto. We really recommend this place if you are looking for a cheap but good hostel to stay in Porto for a couple of days.

    Someone at my food in the fridge 😅 not the hostels fault though. Would also like if the reception was occupied 24/7 - there is only someone there from 12.

    Location is perfect. Rooms felt quiet and private.

    The owner wasn't very friendly, there are so many steps and if you have a big suitcase, it will be difficult to take it up. The wall in the room has a stain from flooding, the blanket was very thin, too thin if it's cold.

    the location is great, everything is very clean and the common areas are very sweet and cosy. Room is spacious.
