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~👍

The location is great, great atmosphere. The views are incredible. But there are also downsides: weak internet signal and the feeling of an earthquake when someone in the room leaves or lies down on the bed.
