Lock in a great price for CATS Porto Hostel – rated 8.6 by recent guests!

to get started.

I liked everything about this hostel starting with the location (near the São Bento train station and the cathedral), the facilities, the organised activities etc. It was probably the best hostel I've stayed at so far.

Very well run hostel and for a good price. There is a kitchen, outside terrace, comfy beds, good showers, easy to use lockers, and great location. They have a bunch of different offers like happy hour, free dinner, tours, etc. I can’t speak to the atmosphere as we were there only on a sunday night but it seemed to be a nice place to meet people of days of the week.

Nothing to complain about. Honestly, I really enjoyd my time here. Just add purring cats in the living room, then it would be purrfect. (sorry for the bad pun)
Great hostel in a great location. It is very central, you can reach a lot of stuff by walking. I was worried, that it will be loud, but the rooms are isolated. So if you are lucky and have a room without snoring, you will sleep like a baby ;) It was also very easy to meet new friends. Just talk to people while checking in or while having breakfast. The breakfast was great, first time in Portugal they had fruits, ham and cheese, not only jam. Showers and bath are very clean. Thank you very much for the nice stay! Especially thank you Brigite for helping my to find the correct train.
