Excellent location in Villa Nova de Gaia, directly across the river from Porto. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great. Room had a comfortable bed and large shower, with an amazing view of Porto. Rooms are above the Sandeman cellars, so you can book a Port cellar tour and tasting directly with the desk. Plenty of food options nearby, or you can take the water taxi across to Porto.

Over 40 countries and this is one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at. The staff is great, it was very clean, modern and portrays the beautiful art of Porto.

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.
