Probably the coolest hostel dorm I have ever stayed in. Really clean and nice. Really nice lounge area and it is close to most tourist destinations in Porto. This place is a must stay for the seasoned traveler!

It's really great.
It's a hotel and a hostel, so
the hostel bedding is as clean as a hotel.
The breakfast is also good. They serve bread, jam, fruit, cereal, rice pudding, etc.
The staff is friendly,
and above all, the location and the night view are both excellent.
I want to come back~
It was the cheapest hostel I've ever been to, but it's the highest quality ㅎㅎ Tta-bong~👍

Simply one of the best places near Porto (Porto itself is across the bridge)! Clean, big beds, comfortable mattresses. You don't feel like there is anyone else in the room with you, as the beds are spaced apart. There is a common room, kitchen, fridge, you can cook your own food. Friendly hostesses called me a taxi at night and packed me breakfast to go. Will definitely be back!
