Located at Gaia quarter where you can get all for daily life, this calm place was the best I could get during my stay at Porto. The lovely south riverside of Douro and the WOW cultural district are in walking distance too. The kitchen is fully equipped and the staff very friendly and welcoming! 100% recommendation:)

We had a lovely stay. Everything was very comfortable, it had a common kitchen, which is always useful and everything was super clean. On the downside it was a little short on bathrooms, it got pretty difficult first time in the morning. I would take advantage of the big size of them and put cubicles of toilets and showers so more people can go in.

Very well located close to water in the old town. My bunk bed even had a view of the bridge! The rooms are compact but tidy and comfortable. There is a restaurant downstairs but would be great if there were a kitchen to use (or maybe I missed it?) Reception was really helpful!

    This place was the best hostel for the same price i paid in other cities. I have been to 5 hostels during this trip in Spain and Portugal. Team is great. Unfortunatelly i didn't ask the name of the gentlemen at the reception but he is very accommodative and valuable Sandeman teammember. All speak English very well which makes communication simple and clear. Very picturesque view from dining room window and atmosphere is relaxing and calming. They have welcome drink, also tea time for free. Breakfast is great!

    This is the best hostel i have been to. And i have done two interrail trips around Europe, probably visiting at least 30+ hostels. The location is wonderful, everybody in the staff is super nice, they have all the things you need at a good backpacker hostel, great breakfast and great dinners at affordable prices.

    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.
