The bedroom was very comfortable with a good side view of the Porto city. Very close to the buzzing area of Vila Nova de Gaia. The building is narrow but it goes up, make sure to go to the rooftop garden as it has a great view.

Recently stayed at this hotel and had an amazing experience! The atmosphere is super chill, perfect for meeting fellow travelers. The breakfast is delicious and filling, a great way to start the day. What makes this place stand out is the owner. Always up for a chat and ready to guide you to the best spots in the city. His local insights made my stay memorable. Can't wait to come back, highly recommend this place!

Book this property you won’t regret it! I loved the room because it looked exactly like the picture on display. It was very clean. The host Benita, was more than welcoming and helpful. They made my stay in Porto so memorable. I loved that when I was feeling unwell I felt comfortable enough to request medications, and they were given to me along with fruits and a drink to make sure I felt better that day. They respected my privacy. The shared kitchen and bathroom were kept very clean and the building overall had a pleasant smell. If you need to check in earlier than mentioned, I would advise that you call or email directly in advance to ask if it is possible, to avoid any last minute inconveniences to the host and for you as the guest.

The staff were very supportive and friendly. The hostel's location is perfect and close to all the main sights. The hostel had a partnership with guided tours. All maintenance was clean. The only thing was the terrible neighbours who had a sneezing problem

This is one of my favourite hostels I’ve stayed at! The staff made this such a warm and welcoming place and I felt at home here. Facilities were always kept clean and it had an amazing social vibe. The communal dinners each night were also delicious. Special mention to Miranda, Camila and Heloisa for being so nice!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

This place was the best hostel for the same price i paid in other cities. I have been to 5 hostels during this trip in Spain and Portugal. Team is great. Unfortunatelly i didn't ask the name of the gentlemen at the reception but he is very accommodative and valuable Sandeman teammember. All speak English very well which makes communication simple and clear. Very picturesque view from dining room window and atmosphere is relaxing and calming. They have welcome drink, also tea time for free. Breakfast is great!

This is the best hostel i have been to. And i have done two interrail trips around Europe, probably visiting at least 30+ hostels. The location is wonderful, everybody in the staff is super nice, they have all the things you need at a good backpacker hostel, great breakfast and great dinners at affordable prices.

I loved everything about this hostel. Top location (right next to Cais de Gaia), super friendly hosts (Dina and Eduarda were helpful and gave me amazing tips on what to visit in Gaia and Porto), the dormitory was warm and very clean, the pressure of the showers was great. The vibe is a thing, you meet super cool people. I truly loved the experience.
