    Close to the main part of town. Steep steps up to the rooms.

    Only downside was I could hear other people in their rooms- but other than that it was awesome! Super comfortable bed and really nice shower!

    This hostel is truly lovely <3 they extended my stay for 1 more night - I needed to switch from one private room to the other, and they handled it very well, even with early morning trip times. I loved this place.

    It was clean and the bed was comfortable. The shower was good. The biggest problem was that it was very noisy with loud traffic noise and people talking on the street. I would have liked soap and shampoo and a wash cloth in the shower

    Very spacious , my shared “room” was actually a studio with its own kitchen and bathroom! Only 4 people and plenty of space. Staff was very kind. I will definitely be back again.

    I have no problem check in and out. It’s clean, the bed is comfortable. The location is close to metro also walkable to Porto and in a quiet place which is good for me. The fridge is not work. Otherwise everything is fine.

    4 person dormitory was very nice with a kitchen, bathroom, living room, and dining area with a great view. Very comfortable living space and room was cleaned everyday. Close to a lot of wine tasting and river. Location is nice and quiet but across the river so it’s a decent travel to see anything. But a short walk to the river where there was a lot of stuff happening.

    The dorms are cozy, only 4 beds in, have a bathroom, and a kitchen. There is a sitting area and a table with chairs to eat. Beautiful view. Near the river, walk distance to everything. The host is very friendly and helpful.

  • Engine customer Jun 2024

    Everything was Ok. Its close to the bridge, so you can walk anywhere. Its also a quite neighborhood. And the host was very friendly and helpful. Everything was ok. It seems to be a small room, but it even has a small living room, a kitchen!

    This hostel is really amazing! Staff was very helpfull, the property has all the facilities, and it is very clean! The decoration is new and is super beautiful. The hostel is 5min walking to the city center, and the street is quiet. I really recomend it! One of the best hostels I ever visited!

    I have truly enjoyed my stay at Douro Surf Hostel, everything was perfect! Comfortable, clean, and in a very good location. Highly recommend it!

  • Engine customer Dec 2023

    I loved everything about this hostel. Top location (right next to Cais de Gaia), super friendly hosts (Dina and Eduarda were helpful and gave me amazing tips on what to visit in Gaia and Porto), the dormitory was warm and very clean, the pressure of the showers was great. The vibe is a thing, you meet super cool people. I truly loved the experience. Nothing. Everything was exactly as described.

  • Engine customer Oct 2023

    Comfy beds, clean and well equipped. Great view from room over the city. Had bathroom and kitchen off the room. Great location for walking into Porto and good restaurants very nearby.
