What an incredible place! I didn't expect much for the 14€ I paid for a form bed, but this is a palace. Newly renovated, super elegant and cosy, a great rooftop terrace to chill out on. Every bed comes with its own locker, charging outlet and drapes for privacy, the showers are made for royalty, and there's a cute bar and restaurant downstairs as well. Best thing about the hostel are staff, all the ladies were super positive, went out of their way to help me and give recommendations on Porto, and were simply fantastic. Definitely made my short stay in Porto more lovely with their cheerful attitude!
Felt more like a hotel than a hostel! Location is good. Walking distance to downtown. The rooms are very clean, and the beds so comfortable! Relaxed vibe with a decent kitchen and plenty of tables to sit. Beautifully decorated. Would definitely stay again!
While we came to this place we didn’t expected such a great room. It was very comfortable, good looking and very clean. The kitchen is also clean and convenient. The reception’s opening hours are suitable to arrive at midnight and there is opportunity to leave the baggage after check out for free. The stuff is helpful and very kind.
