    The late check in

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Amazing staff. Amazing kitchen. Great location everything nearby is accessible by walking. Comfy beds. Bathroom and shower area okay. Felt very safe as a solo female. The panels are loose in the outside area. Bathroom could use improvement. No laundry room.

    Great location! The patio and bar area are really welcoming and clean. Staff are so so kind, professional and helpful. They cleaned the facility often. Beds and duvet were really comfy. I slept pretty well most nights. Showers would barely warm up and were constantly grimy. Bathrooms always had a smell to them. The toilets were right beside the showers too. Hard to feel clean in a cold shower while the person beside you is having a poo. The 12-bed room is in the attic. There were no curtains as they weren’t the bunk beds seen in photos.

    The location is super amazing. The hostel is very easy to find. City-center, bars, restaurants and all major points of interest are 10-minutes-walk away. Right nearby there is a cheap underground parking. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. The beds are solid and the mattress is ultra comfortable. Rooms are keycard locked. The room had a heater. Breakfast is until 11 and is quite decent. On the moment of my visit the bathrooms were the trouble. 2 private bathroom rooms both were out of service. The one public unisex bathroom had so many people, that it offered practically 0 privacy. The second floor beds dont have any blinder.

    Amazing staff, good vibes and great for young travelers (18-25ish), central location and overall very good facilities for the price. The Hostel also planned an affordable pub crawl with great value. Very limited warm water in the showers

    Location is perfect, vibe is excellent, made some lifelong friends here

    I loved the location, easy to get just about anywhere in/around Porto. The patio was a nice space to relax and the common area was a great way to meet people. The rooms get so hot. We had two fans going and the windows wide open and couldn’t get the place to a normal temperature.

  • Engine customer Jun 2025

    -The room is very hot even with the windows open it won't be enough, especially if you are not close to the window -The bed is very shaky, meaning even the smallest movements from the person below you will wake you up. I woke up up so many times, and it wasn't a calm way of waking up but a surprising one. To be fair, it really depended on the person below me. He had a lot to drink the night before and probably was the reason why he was moving a lot. But the beds would still move even if the person in the bottom moved just a little bit, so I think it would not have made a significant difference overall. Personally, I decided this would be my last time booking a hostel after experiencing this...

    Very good service! I could rarely bathe with hot water..

  • Engine customer Apr 2025

    Great location - friendly staff - in line with the costs so all good.

  • Engine customer Apr 2025

    relaxed atmosphere, very friendly and helpfull staff the modern , colourfull aspect at entrance -wifi at second floor not working -the young staff members had all four of them outside their cigaret smoke moments together. I hope they will stop smoking for their own health and realise that they have also a sort of role model to the in general young hostel guests. Obama said " yes we can" ;-) - the weather in Porto: only rain

    It wast first time in a hostel and I enjoyed. Thanks for everything!

  • Engine customer Mar 2025

    Good hostel, perfect for solo travelers. Great localization. Room was clean, bed was ok. Hostel had lots of entertrainments like pub crawls or daily tours. You can meet some great people in the lounge, where you have also bar. The personnel was very friendly and helpful. Small storage drawer, it was hard to pull it out. I don't have wi-fi in a room. It was hard to ventilate room.

  • Engine customer Mar 2025

    Great location, extremely nice and helpful staff. Facilities were mostly what you expect from a hostel at this price point, nothing exceptional. Water temperature for showers and the like was not very reliable.
