Gaia-Porto Hostel

As for a hostel, the room was actually quite good, better than most of 3* hotels. It was clean and comfortable. The stairs.

Great location, comfortable beds! Bathrooms had a couple little bugs in the shower and one of the showers in the bathroom was out of order but didn’t effect us much :)

nothing

The staff was welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed the tasty breakfast with homemade pastries. The location was excellent with easy access to the sites in Vila Nova de Gaia and over the bridge to Porto. Nothing. I'd only inform people that the stairs to the rooms are pretty steep.

Wonderful owner and staff

Clean Good Showers Comfy bed Double glazing Earlier check in would be nice

The location was ideal to explore the city on foot; the property is perfect- quiet, clean and comfortable. The owners and staff team are amazing. Highly recommend for a budget friendly stay.

A nice stay in a good location and friendly staff and manager. It didn’t bother me but our room was adjacent road which has some car traffic. Closing the window blocked most traffic sound.

Very nice people welcoming us! Our lux suite was perfect! No noise and really close to the River. We left The car at the parking nearby which didnt feel safe so i would choose other one. But from the hotel, everything great

I would like to emphasize the absolute and crazy price/value ratio. The room was cute, everything we needed - our balcony had a good view. It is located in a quiet part of the town, but still very close to the touristic town where you can taste the wine and have dinner, maybe watch a sunset. Also very close to the General Torres station, where the metro and trains stop. Also the staff is so welcoming, they stored our bags and told us everything we needed to know. Will definitely come again someday! Although the neighbourhood was quiet, it was a little bit scary at night - but nothing that should change your mind about this hostel. Also, the breakfast wasnt that huge as opposed to the other hotels we stayed at - but we ate good and were full the whole day.

Location was outstanding. João was warm and welcoming. The value for money could not be beat. In addition to those highlights, it was spotlessly clean, the multi-level roof terraces were comfortable and intimate with a great view of the city, and breakfast was nice with tea, espresso, coffee, juice, deli meat, cheese, buns, jams, and spreads. Check in and check out were easy, we liked that we could leave our bags before check-in, and the complimentary glass of port on arrival was a nice touch. There are 2 shared bathrooms which sometimes lead to queues. The shower and toilet space are somewhat small. These are nitpicky details, though, and overall, the bathrooms were clean and we had not issues using them during our stay.

Everything. The staff were gracious and kind. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. The location was excellent with easy access to the Douro River where you could find a great meal with fresh fish and watch the sunset.

N/A

Lots of steep stairs, lots of road noise

Great staff, great location!

Had a great experience at hostel Gaia. Check in was easy and quick. kind staff. Room was very big, clean, and comfortable bed. The terrace of the room was nice and big. good location, would definitely recommend staying here if you want a place in Gaia

Great location, clean, comfortable bed and with a beautiful relaxing Garden on top. Staff was extremely nice and helpful. Thank you! A bit more ventilation would be helpful in certain areas like the reception, to avoid humidity smells. In the bedroom a dehumidifier was provided and worked great!

Exceptional
