Porto Hostellit

Plussat: The location

Miinukset: The blaring music all day and night till 22:00hrs. The dangerously climb to the 3rd level bunk bad on (no railings) narrow/thin metal bars. Somebody will get seriously hurt and it is just a matter of time.

Plussat: The hostel location!!!

Miinukset: I liked everything!

Plussat: Great staff. Great location. Clean bathrooms. Spacious rooms and lockers.

Miinukset: The lock on our room's door is not working.

Plussat: Salad, cheese and meat for breakfast! Fresh orange juice! Rooms airy and light.

Miinukset: Noisy street below. Side looking onto train station quieter.

Plussat: I can see why this hostel has a phenomenal rating. Not only is it in the heart of the city but the rooms, lounge, toilet, showers, and common area feels like you’re in a fancy hotel. The staff was great and they brief you properly on the rooms and other amenities. Would stay here again.

Plussat: Vanhassa asemarakennuksessa on hulppeat puitteet. Sekä oma huoneeni että yhteiset tilat olivat avarat ja siistit, ja todella viihtyisät. Aamiainen oli runsas ja maittava.

Plussat: The best hostel I've ever stayed!!!! The facility is gorgeous! High ceilings and windows. They have a grand piano! There are two chill living areas! One upstairs connected the the kitchen and downstairs by the reception and bar area. This place is clean, and still smells like new wood. The beds are comfortable! The location is excellent! One entrance is in the Sao Bento station the other entrance is on the street. The staff was amazing! The best staff ever! They were so accommodating and helpful! The most friendliest staff ever!!! Literally, blown away, speechless with my stay here! I would come back again and again and again!

Miinukset: Bathrooms - need more hooks or places to put the clothes before entering or leaving shower. The sink faucet is a push, so water would be coming out still when I didn't need it. I felt like I was wasting water.

Plussat: Hyvä aamiainen , melua niin kuin kaupungissa yleensä

Miinukset: Peili huoneessa

Plussat: Very nice interior design. Great breakfast.

Miinukset: It is was quite loud. 2 out of 6 showers were not working properly. Breakfast starts at 8, but not everything was ready by then. Fruits were but out almost one hour later

Plussat: Good location!! Just inside the beautiful station. Very interesting accommodation, nice events and nice Porto wine at bar!

Miinukset: Everything was fine

Plussat: This place is perfect!! We had one of the studios which were so unique and ideal for a weekend break. The place is kept immaculate at all times, i would actually say this is one of the best hostels i have ever stayed in. Location is amazing with restaurants and bars close by.

Miinukset: Only one tiny thing... no mirror in the studio.

Plussat: good location. own locker. clock room.

Miinukset: Although staffs are nice, that too many staffs in the kitchen may still cause some pressure. No place to put your clothes in the shower room. I Heard from the excellent high reviews and expected too much, and thus ended up failing to meet the high expectation.

Plussat: Friendly staff, good vibe, comfy beds and two showers and toilets per room!

Plussat: Everythingnothing

Miinukset: Excellent place! The only thing that could be improved is installation of pin or card lock at the main entrance, as now visitors must use the door bell to enter the building

Plussat: That was a great experience, comfortable clean end tidy place(the cleaning leaders are always active and cleaning hard!). Loved the staff João(also called Natalinho

Miinukset: We had great social life at the hostel but it came by itself, probably arranging some daily dinners and little events to allow people to know each other would be perfect

Plussat: They encourage everyone to act like a big family including staff and guests. It was wonderful

Plussat: The staffs were all extremely friendly and helpful, it is beyond my expectations! great location and facilities. walking distance and very convenient to explore Porto. basic breakfast included pancakes, however, it would be great to have an egg. Highly recommended!

Plussat: At first, the hostel seemed clean and staff WERE friendly, that is, until I had to make a complaint regarding bedbugs and they became very passive aggressive and accusative (see below).

Miinukset: BEDBUGS!!! Complete infestation. Do not stay here. I managed one night and then was awoken by another girl in my dorm room who was upset. Looked at her mattress and it was COMPLETELY covered in bedbugs, I've never seen anything like it. They were everywhere. I've just spent a full day of my holiday in the laundrette in Porto getting all of my clothes washed and dried which cost me a small fortune. Found at least 4 of them on my clothes and a further 6 in my bed. Left the hostel at 2am to move to another hostel and when I complained about the infestation, they said they already knew about it as a girl has already left due to it. Why they let any new guests stay is beyond me. I wasn't offered a refund, instead they just moved me to a new hostel. I emailed to complain and get a refund which is the absolute least I would expect and received such a snarky, passive aggressive response claiming that I may have brought them in. Insulting considering I came straight from my home to the hostel, and my home absolutely does not have bed bugs, not even considering the sheer scale of the infestation is impossible for me to create in 1 day. There are plenty of nicer hostels in Porto that aren't completely infested and who don't accuse you when you try to complain!! Avoid like the plague. Shocking experience, hope no-one else has to go through the same thing!

Plussat: Really nice hostel that often felt more like a hotel, really clean and light and airy, with a nice kitchen/dining space and lounge area. It didn't seem to have the usual hostel crowd vibe of young people and party atmosphere which can be a positive and negative thing. The breakfast was simple but fine. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, offering good recommendations and accommodating all needs. The location is great, really central but I didn't hear any noise from the street.

Miinukset: I found that it took a very long time for any hot water to come through in the shower, and when it did, it was still not very hot and the water pressure became very weak. It was difficult to regulate the temperature in my room. While not a criticism, it would be nice if breakfast could be extended a little, or for some of the food to be replenished as towards the end of the time slot there was not much left.

Plussat: Friendly staff, nice location, clean facilities.

Plussat: Everything. It was just wonderful.

Plussat: Breakfast&towels included Friendly staff Quiet Lockers in the room Well-equipped kitchen

Miinukset: Bathroom outside No table/chairs in the room No hairdryer

Plussat: Everything was great! Would highly recommend!

Plussat: Friendly and very helpful staff. Rooms are very spacious and the bunk beds are really good quality and noise-free. Breakfast good enough to get you started. If you are a walker, you'll be able to get to the centre on feet; if you're not, there's a Carolina Michaelis metro station and several bus stations located really near the hostel.

Plussat: Beside a metro stop. Very clean. Comfortable bunks. Single sex rooms. Very spacious.

Plussat: Henkilökunta oli iloista ja auttavaista, paikka oli siisti ja tunnelma rento. Kodikkaat yhteiset tilat ja kiva takapiha.

Miinukset: Kylppärissä olisi voinut lattiapyyhkeitä, toinen suihku oli risainen. Aamiaiselle kaipaisi proteiinia ja kuitua.

Plussat: The staff was very nice, also the rooms are spacious and the private toilet were a plus. The beds are comfortable and they provide you with a towel.

Miinukset: The breakfast could be better, nevertheless it was good taking the price into account

Plussat: Large comfortable beds and lockers.

Miinukset: Rude and inflexible staff. No entry to kitchen before 08:30 You have to pay for coffee before that time. Basic breakfast. Absolutely NO check in outside of 3-11pm.

Plussat: Very pleasant and helpful staff, especially Susanne (ask for her!!). She gave us all the help we asked for and more. We would come back again even just for that reason. The directions to the hostel from the airport were accurate and easy. The facilities were clean, modern, and comfortable. Well worth what we paid and we even got breakfast (coffee, apples, bread, jam, cheese, sliced ham). You can bring your own food to add to it -- I boiled eggs, so I wouldn't have to buy lunch but ate a bigger meal late afternoon. Its convenient to everything you need in the old city -- although it's a lot of walking up and down steep hills with cobblestone streets. Metro is two blocks away.

Miinukset: The description advertised "garden view" room. The garden consisted of a bit of grass and a couple of chairs and tables where smokers sit (hard to get away from cigarette smoke in Europe). They could easily add a few pots with flowers, a few more comortable chairs and umbrella or shade cloth. That was my only comment for improvement though.

Plussat: Awesome yard, good guys, clean

Miinukset: Very bad wi-fi connection, bathroom not comfortable

Plussat: Great hostel in central and convenient location. Bunks have own power plug port, fan and light. Bathrooms were clean and as expected for a hostel. 2xtoilets and 2xshowers in room which was helpful for 8people. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was basic however as expected for a hostel. Lots of free/cheap events on daily also.

Miinukset: NA

Plussat: Wonderful location, staff was super friendly and the rooms were clean and comfortable

Plussat: perfect location，clean and comfortable.value for money.breakfast is nice, offer a lot.

Miinukset: hope they can separate the dormitory for female and male

Plussat: 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.

Plussat: This hostel is just perfect! The location, the room and the staffs are nice! Highly recommended!

Plussat: Rooms and beds were clean and comfy. Having an elevator is a big plus.

Miinukset: Fruits in breakfast were not fresh.

Plussat: Very good location, nice atmosphere. The own rooftop bar is very nice to meet people from all around! Make sure you make it to happy hour to not miss the more Portuguese beer prices ;) comfortable beds.

Plussat: Dormien sängyt ovat isoja ja mukavia, ja jokaisen sängyn vieressä on pistoke josta pystyi lataamaan omaa puhelinta. Tilat olivat myös siistit ja yleinen ilmapiiri hyvä.

Miinukset: Eräänä iltana ollessani hyvin uupunut ajattelin syödä hostellin omassa keittiössä. Ruokavalioni mukaan syön vain kala tai kasvisruokia eikä heillä ollut tarpeita tehdä kumpaakaan. Maksoin 5 euron pantin avainlukukortistani, ja kun palautin sen tiskille he eivät antaneet rahaa takaisin ja itse en sitä muistanut. Parin tunnin päästä kun asia muistui mieleeni ollessani jo kaukana hostellista laitoin heille viestiä maksamatta jääneestä rahasta enkä koskaan saanut vastausta. Tämä jäi ärsyttämään.

Plussat: Great location close to bus station, Sao Bento station and the city centre. Staff super friendly and bunks are very comfortable, with individual lights, power plugs, shelves and lockers for bags under the beds.

Miinukset: Showers and common areas not that clean, especially areas where breakfast was served. Really basic breakfast.

Plussat: Good location. Security box for everyone. Lots of activities such as city tour, pub crawl and free dinner.

Miinukset: NA

Plussat: Great stuff, great location, awesome breakfast, clean and comfortable beds :D

Plussat: The location is amazing, everything is in a walkable distance. Staff is very nice and friendly. Bathroom was clean and was single use, which is perfect. You also get a locker with a key :)

Plussat: The dorm and the toilet were clean, that exceeded my expectations :) Friendly staff.

Plussat: The location of the hostel is very good and the staff is friendly. There are separate bathrooms for men/women so that is a plus. I would stay there again.

Miinukset: Nothing to complaining about

Plussat: The price

Miinukset: All the rest. I've been staying in hundreds of hostels over the years and this (I'm sorry to say) was the worst. Few smelly toilets and showers for a lot of people. I was sleeping in the 15 bed room and I slept on the top of 3-level-bunk-bed. The mattress was so poor that I could feel the springs in it. Bedsheets are provided but you have to put them on...good luck if you are shorter than 1.80 :p. Only one staff (very kind) at the entrance but sitting behind a very old desk in a narrow space. Creepy decoration all over and few old and dark common spaces. Location is ok. To summarise: this is what you get when you pay 9€ in Porto so if you really want to save money this might be your choice but if you are planning on staying longer, avoid at all costs.

Plussat: The guy at reception is very charming and professional. Lovely guy.

Miinukset: The plunk that correspond to my bed was not very accesible. I had to invade the space of the client that sleeped above me.

Plussat: The choice of the hostel was its prices and the closeness of metro station and the city centre. There is a kitchen which can be used by anone freely.

Miinukset: The toilet, bathrooms were out of order, or were under reconstruction. Apart from this if someone is not so critical it is the best place for backpacker tousrists.

Plussat: Very nice staff.

Plussat: The staff, she was so helpful and nice!

Miinukset: The snoring neighbor in the bunk bed

Plussat: Location is center of the city.

Miinukset: Cleanliness.

Miinukset: Bathrooms were old and few and far away from a room. Check in was not posible out side the reception working hours.
