    My room was on the street side so it was noisy all night. Didn't get much sleep also because of other people snoring. I would separate the rooms boys/girls. Same with the bathroom as it was only one. It was bareable for 2 nights but I wouldn't stay for longer in mixed bedroom.

    Location great, not far from bus and metro stops. Breakfast was smartly prepared, using those jars you save money and environment. It was ready late in the evening so people like me who leave early can have it before they go. Not my first choice of food though but it wasn't bad, yoghurt, eggs and butter and apples that will do :) Beds were comfy enough, bathroom and common areas clean. Nice backyard. Girl on the reception super nice.

    Nothing, However, I may suggest a TV in the room for the rainy days (if it is not raining, Porto is such a nice place to go outside instead of staying at the room). For the breakfast, I may suggest to include a box of juice.

    The location was good, close to metro, and to a couple of grocery stores. The staff was very friendly. The rooms were clean and the bed was comfortable. There is a common kitchen so that you can make yourself some meals.

    Great location, close to public transport, bus stop to bus station and trains 2 minutes walk, Metro 5 minutes walk. 20 minutes walk to Porto centre. Really helpful staff, giving assistance as required. Big bedroom, bright and airy with comfortable bed. I had a double room, not a bunk room. The whole place was spotless. Great breakfast included. Didn't feel like a noisy or busy hostel. Big old building with beautiful wooden floors. Would definitely recommend and go again.

    It was very hot but there was only one stand fan which made it impossible to cool off the air in the room with 8-10 people.

    Value for money especially since breakfast was included. Overall facilities were good.

    The street was a little noisy, and unfortunately, the room I was in had a person who was the loudest snorer (not that it's the hostels fault)

    Staff were heaps helpful. They had a nice back garden and breakfast included.

    It was very warm in the room, it would have been nice to have had a fan. The shower doors didn’t have locks, so I tried to shower when no one else was in the bathroom as they were shared.

    Good location, close to metro but a short 15 minute walk to the city centre. It was great having breakfast included. There is a really nice garden out the back. Staff are friendly. Everywhere is clean.

    There is some maintenance needed in the showers.

    The location is very good and I was able to easily take two tours from there. The front desk staff are very helpful and friendly. The beer is nicely priced and there is a terrace to sit on and enjoy it.

    The street in front unfortunately is quite busy and noisy. Even with closed windows the street noise is hearable. And the house itself is not very soundproof as well. So I recommend ear plugs.

    Nice building and spacious room. Cute little backyard. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good location. The downtown area is within a 20 minute walk.

    A little bit far from the city center and the kitchen is a little bit old. Also, the only way to get sunlight into the room was to keep the blinds open, which meant that everybody else that was on the shared balcony could see directly into your room. Mens and womens bathrooms are not separated and the shower doors don’t have locks, so that was not nice as anyone could walk into the bathroom and open your shower if they wanted to.

    Big room (we had a double with a shared bathroom) with a toilet right outside on the shared balcony, which was very convenient. Free breakfast was a nice.

    Sometimes people don't turn off their alarms in the morning

    The owner Isi is great person, very friendly and down to earth. If always ready to help and to have a good conversation. The location is very close to metro and bus station. The city centre is a stop or two away.
