I loved the garden inside that was filled with cats. The beds were very comfortable: a good size with nice privacy curtains. The room was incredibly big and it didn’t feel cramped with nice ventilation. Nice azulejo views from the windows. The downstairs area was very nice but I didn’t use it.

Kani Spain

Pretty cool place, rooms were clean, the hostel has a a very nice and relaxing garden with a small bar which is great to socialize with people. Everything was very well organized and the staff is very helpful and friendly. Loved the stay in Porto and would definitely recommend this hostel.

Alis Germany

The staff was wonderful! The room was a good size. The beds were comfortable. Kitchen well equipped. Close to everything with 2 metro stations very close to hostel. They did a great job adhering to the Covid protocols.

Paula United States of America

The hostel is new, has everything for the short or even long stay. Beds are comfortable enough, curtains make it more private, bathroom is clean, kitchen is fully equipped and there is an amazing garden with its own bar. There is nothing more we would like to have there. The staff is extremely helpful and nice. Highly recommended!

Ulviyya Azerbaijan

The garden is awesome, the curtains on the beds are great, give you a bit of privacy. It's got a neat bar by the garden too, and a TV with a ps4 for chilling. The garden especially is really cool, it's in the middle of the city but hidden away as a sort of Rooftop patio, with vines hiding it away. Great value!

Tomas Germany

The staff was very helpful. The hostel was one of the cleanest I’ve seen in my life. The location of the hostel is also impeccable. Everything is nearby.

Omar France

One of the best hostels Ive stayed at....super location, reception on ground level, very helpful and friendly staff, modern and bright ambience, great communal kitchen, and wonderful garden to chill. Due to Covid, it was very quiet and they gave me the best bed overlooking the garden. Stayed for 3 nights and 2 of those I had the whole bunk room to myself. The beds are great...comfortable with a privacy curtain and separate fan to keep cool ( great touch!) You can have breakfast there if you like. Everything was clean and the staff were able to assist with tours , maps and recommendations. Loved it, thanks.
