This is easily one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at. The rooms were clean, modern, and comfortable. It was very big, more hotel vibes, so not the most social hostel and a place to meet people, but still worth the stay. Great location!

The best hostel sleep experience so far

Great experience, super clean and peaceful with a lot of good space and confort. Sleeping was great and private, especially for a room of twelve. It surely has a premium style.

Exceeds Expectations

Relaxed, modern and a pretty unique Hostel as it functions with processes & procedures like that of a 3or4-star hotel in a fantastic location near the Douro River. The added unique touches like a "welcome drink", wooden keycards & carpets in hallways as well as extra large storage were unique special touches & greatly appreciated. I enjoyed my stay at this establishment. With special thanks to Mathieu, Thiego, Victor, Maria, Clinton, Shaddy and everyone else who made my stay a memorable one!

Very positive experience

We must be frank and admit that the success of this experience is essentially thanks to the very attentive team of the hostel. I recommend this hostel for its location in the heart of events in Ribeira. Comfort, cleanliness, decor, design and services with a great restaurant and a music room for guests. A special thank you to Maria for her quality of welcome and for everyone. Go without hesitation

When all 8 beds in dorm are full it gets a little crowded. Most guests checked out within a day or two… Shower and toilet within a pretty small space and water was getting onto the floor in front of toilet. Sinks for getting ready are open concept and right on the way out so a little awkward. Other than those things it was a good experience and a pretty good spot to meet other travellers. Staff was always friendly and helpful! Right near the Douro river so lots to see and do plus many photo opportunities!

The hostel is located near the river which is nice. This is usually a pretty active area at night so it can be a bit noisy till late night. Close to the metro station (about 10 mins walk) but Porto has a very uneven landscape so be prepared for an uphill climb. The room was spacious and nice. What I really liked was the fact that the room and shower/toilet were in physically separated unlike most hostels in Portugal/Spain. So it's less disturbing if you are in sleep when someone else uses the toilet/shower. There are a lot of restaurants and cafes around so you never run out of options for food. I had a bit of an issue at the reception as they charged me twice for the stay. The full amount has already been paid before my check-in but after my check-out they charged on my card again without notifying me (only received the bank notification). However, they eventually processed a refund but it took more than 3 days for me to receive money which wasn't great (I was already on the last day of my trip when I received the money back so I essentially had to top up my card again due to no fault of my own). This could have been avoided easily if they checked before charging my card again. There's no kitchen onsite to even get some water/refill a water bottle which is a bit of a let down. No free luggage storage. They have lockers for which you have to pay extra.

What a fabulous location, bang in the centre of Porto. At £27 per night it was incredible value. Dormitories are not to everyone's taste but careful layout of bunks and privacy curtains make the experience more than pleasant. After 12 nights on the Camino de Santiago, this was just another routine sleep.

Super bem localizado e aconchegante, bom café

Local super bem localizado, em frente ao rio Douro com varios restaurantes, bares ao lado. Local limpo e apesar de ser um albergue moderno, tinha otimo cafe da manhã, funcionarios muito simpaticos e limpeza diária. Gostamos do nosso quarto, pegamos um individual para casal. Quarto espaçoso, como melhorias deveriam colocar um frigobar no quarto, Compramos agua e nao tinha como deixar gelada e mais tomadas no quarto, alem de um espelho grande fora do banheiro. Para mulher era dificil se arrumar pois o espelho fora do quaryo era pequena. imulinação tb poderia ser melhor, achamos o quarto com iluminação ruim e poucas tomadas, poderia ter mais. Mas foi otimo!

Ich reise seit 20 Jahren un die Welt, davon viel alleine und insbesondere als ich noch jünger war, war ich sehr viel in hostels. Ich habe lange überlegt ob das mit inzwischen 41 das richtige für mich ist. Drec, Lärm und grölende besoffene Teenies brauch ich nicht mehr. Ich habe es riskiert und muss sagen: ja es bleibt natürlich ein hostel - aber eins mit Stil. Modern eingerichtet, bequeme Betten mit Vorhang und eigner Steckdose + Licht. Sehr schöne Gemeinschafts-Areas. Alles auch überwiegend sauber. Im Zimmer selbst kommt es natürlich auf die Leute an, die es bewohnen... Mein Bett fühlte sich auch sauber an, die Bettwäsche roch frisch und angenehm. Die Lage ist zudem top. Das Frühstück auch. Habe in keinem hostel je so viel beim Frühstück geboten bekommen! Alles in allem wirklich gut wenn man mal wieder solo unterwegs ist und nicht Unmengen für ein Hotel ausgeben möchte. Aber es gibt auch ein paar Verbesserungsvorschläge: - Es gibt im Bad quasi keine Abstellmöglichkeiten und auch keine Haken an denen man Handtücher aufhängen könnte. Platz dafür wäre genug! Hier sollte man unbedingt nachrüsten! Kostet wenig - bringt viel. Zimmer & Bad: - Die Duschtür ist unten offen was zur Folge hat, dass das komplette Bad permanent unter Wasser steht. Das ist unnötig ekelhaft und müsste nicht sein, würde man die Tür der Dusche bis ganz runter schließen. - Fenster lassen sich nicht öffnen --> keine Frischluft Frühstück - Raum für Frühstück zwar sehr schön aber viel zu klein und zu w

Hostel excelente, superou as minhas expectativas. Cama confortável, limpo, espaçoso e silencioso, apesar de ser hostel. Café da manhã farto e saboroso. Únicos pontos negativos: barulho dos carros e motos à noite na rua e o banheiro quando alguém tomava banho molhava todo o banheiro, pois não retia apenas na parte de tomar banho.
