Rooms are incredibly noisy, one shower was lit working (but also not fixed in the days we were there), google maps address shows a different location (close by but up a hill), breakfast at 20:30 and not a minute earlier creates havoc and stress for everyone who wants an early start.

It’s situated well if you are walking the Camino. It fulfills all basics.

The food could be better but it wasn't bad.

All in all it is a good package for low cost travellers.

It was a bit loud (a lot of teenagers). Showers could be cleaner.

The standard of the room was enough for us, it was comfortable for a one night stay while traveling on a budget. Lady at the reception was very kind, breakfast was nice.

old and run down building, mouldy shower, large number of people staying so messy bathrooms, broken locks on bathroom doors, at one stage all womens toilets ran out of paper. Noisy with large groups of teenagers. Under the flight path so lots of planes flying overhead. Only a few charging ports in bunkroom.  Bunk matresses squeaky when you roll over. Bunks themselves squeaky and wobbly when you roll over. Long way from ALAS/Flixbus bus stop (Terminal Intermodal de Campanhã) and the main old town and restaurant area. Bunkroom doorhand broken so door wouldn't close properly unless you locked it closed

Luggage storage. Breakfast included:ham, cheese, tomato, cucumber, bread rolls, yoghurt, hot choc, tea, coffee, cordial, cornflakes and usual one other cereal, jans, fruit. Has a kitchen with a fridge, microwave and a cook top with cutlery, crockery etc. Has a TV room with some channels in english. There is a Pingo Doce Supermarket across the road. Wifi was good this stay, on a previous stay it didn't work through the night. Lovely helpful staff this time - offered a towel, helped set up the TV, offered to make me a packed lunch as I was leaving early.

The doors are thin, and we ear the noises from the corridor - there was a shared bathroom in front of our room so we got waken up by other guests quite early.

We are a family with 2 teens and stayed in 2 twin rooms each with private bathroom, which was very convenient. The breakfast room is a bit like a school canteen but there is enough food and choices to make a nutritious breakfast. There is also a kitchen where guests can make their meals and a supermarket just opposite the Hostel.

The breakfast is wonderful

Stayed in June 2024

The walls do seem a bit too thin. While I had been able to hear the people outside in the morning, it did not disturb me as I am used to dormitories. But I get the noise complains from the other reviewers. A friend of mine got a room next to the shared bathroom, and it was worse.

The checkout had accepted me at midnight, which is a huge plus. Included breakfast was moderate in quality/quantity, but very appreciated. The room seems to have seen better days, but aesthetics aside, it fulfilled its purpose. Since I arrived late, it's likely the other people complain about the noise, not me. Sorry.

Extremely late check in - No time to get laundry dry or site-seeing without backpack No curtains to make bed dark and private

4 bed female room Great Breakfast Quiet

Overall a bit dated. Bathrooms clean but could do with some renovating. Facilities were overall basic but did the job.

Breakfast included and a good variety of food available. Beds were reasonably comfortable. Television in communal room, so we could watch the Eurovision!

Stayed in May 2024

It feels very institutional and a little run down. The kitchen is not very well stocked and only has about 5 plates for a place that has a lot of beds. It was very noisy because all of the door closers are out of adjustment so there was a lot of door slamming going on all night.

There is a good supermarket right across the street

Stayed in May 2024

We had to leave the common room when playing pool, as it was getting late, not quite what I expected.

The balcony had a great view. Breakfast was included in the price (however we didn't end up having any, but it did look very nice though) The bathroom facilities were good. Being only a short drive from the city centre was amazing. Porto itself.

Stayed in May 2024

it’s far from city centre (5km), facilities were a bit old, the kitchen was small for such amount of rooms

it was like a hotel with shared rooms, they have very good breakfast, perfect living room

Stayed in April 2024

Breakfast start on 8.30am, on 2nd day...wait for long queue almost 9am to get breakfast.

Location was great, easily to take bus to downtown.

Stayed in April 2024

the mattress had clear sign of use, for people with back problem, could have issue to have a good night of sleep.

view to the Douro river. Breakfast, simple but good, had the basic to a good start of the day. The room has wardrobe to keep some of the clothes.

I cant fault anything for that price.

Location and price.

Stayed in July 2023

Interiors are very obsolete; room door was not soundproofing at all; absolutely horrible juice mixed with water at breakfast; only two hangers in closet

Nice view from window, Douro river can be seen; Pingo Doce supermarket across the street.
