I had a mixed but overall positive experience. The hostel's location was undeniably cool and convenient, although the nearby construction was a bit of a drawback, as it took away from the city's charm. However, the hostel itself was functional and comfortable, providing everything needed for a pleasant stay. While one staff member wasn't particularly friendly, the majority of the staff we encountered were lovely and helpful. I would recommend this hostel for a short stay of 1-2 nights.
CanadaYou get a great bed with privacy curtain, power outlet, nice linens, locker, spacious dorm with lounge area, multiple common areas, spotless bathrooms, elevator, daily organized activities and tours, a lobby bar/cafe, use of a computer, piano or guitar if you’re so inclined, and an excellent breakfast. There’s a coin operated Miele laundry and I washed everything, including my backpack. It’s not as cheap as the best hostels in Asia but what is?
CanadaClose to Sao Bento Station, basic no frills accommodation.
United States of AmericaGreat central location, easy access at any hour, lots of activities to allow people to meet each other, but this never got noisy or hectic at the place itself. And there was lots of open common space where you could relax if you wanted more private/chill time. Wonderful large breakfast and huge locker also included!

United States of AmericaThe staff was incredible. The location is in the heart of the old city. Very great place to stay in Porto before hiking the El Camino Portuguese. Great place for a younger crowd because they offer loads of tours. I am a senior but loved it!
