to get started.

The people are so proud and friendly and have done a stunning job on the property. The fact that it is in the train station adds to the flare but the hangout areas were really special and trendy. As much or as little interaction as you want. Would be good for solo traveler as super safe and secure, couples, families

Large lockers in the room. Smart Bracelet as a key for the room and locker. Excellent staf (2 girls) at the kitchen preparing breakfast. They are doing some really good work! Location is unbeatable.

Location could not be better, great breakfast, really good design, comfy beds and it is easy to meet other people if you are traveling solo.

It’s clean, spacious, modern, very comfortable! Staff is super nice. It was my second time around, really like it!

Fernanda

Wow, in the old train station - LITERALLY IN THE STATION! I couldn't find it at first because it's IN THE STATION! But it's not noisy and the old building is so iconic. It's also surprisingly not noisy inside the hostel and the hostel is clean and upbeat wtih many places to hang out....one window watches the trains, or go up on the clock tower loft and there are lots of couches and places to sit at a desk with a laptop or recline with friends. They serve beer and wine on the ground floor off the train station entry. Walking out your door is a few steps to very central Porto attractions, restaurants, buildings, etc. I loved it here.....seemed safe and iconic. Showers are hot, bathrooms are modern and on the noisier train side of the building. It's a youthful upbeat place, and I'm 61 years young! I felt welcomed by staff and travelers. Breakfast is pretty good for free at this price. Great price when other things in the area are literally 3-4 times as expensive.

Suzanne

United States of America

Loved the atmosphere and location! Really cool concept. Most of the staff were good but the evening crew were definitely the best! They were very kind and welcoming -even made sausage for anyone to try!- can’t say that for all the staff unfortunately. Overall good experience.

Olivia

United States of America

The finish of the hostel was impeccable. I loved the old building and how they have made such a luxurious hostel inside. The key wrist bands were brilliant. The mezzanine rooms, and cool decor were brilliant. I also loved the dyson hair dryer.

There is nothing that I could possibly come up with. The passenger is great!
Not only that they have the most friendly staff, the most incredible (and carefully designs) space (incl. a huge winter garden where you can work), but... they are also environmentally cautious (this includes an entire policy to reduce plastic, save water and electricity). If you want to feel good and make the planet Earth smile, you should pick this hostel.
