The hostel is located a short walk from Sao Bento station and right at the foot of Porto Cathedral, which was perfect for my camino. The staff were nice and accommodated my request to have a bottom bunk. My bed was comfortable, and the curtain provided privacy. The digital key was very convenient as it unlocked the front door, the door to my dorm room, and my locker underneath my bed. You pay a small fee as deposit for the key which you get back upon check out (I forgot to get mine back as I hurried through check out to start my camino). The lockers were spacious enough to fit my backpack and my walking poles, with extra room. The common bathrooms were clean, the water pressure was strong, and there was hot water. The continental breakfast was filling, and the common areas were cozy.

    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.
