Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I enjoyed the luggage lockers that were very large and conveniently opened with the key card. I liked the insuite bathrooms; things felt private. I thought the beds were comfortable although the bottom bunk did have a bit of a low roof. The rooftop bar is nice and the dinners are cheap. Overall great experience.

Amazing hostel
Fairly priced hostel with a great location. The facilities were nice with kitchen, rooftop bar and working space. The staff were friendly and ready to help me with whatever needs I had. Free walking tours were provided from the hostel. Rooms were clean, spacious and the beds were comfortable. Bathrooms were modern and clean which I loved. I had to pay extra for the breakfast but it was good and fulfilling for the price. Would definitely come back again.

Will definitely stay at this hostel again! The staff was so friendly and welcoming upon arrival, rooms were good, and loved the common spaces but mostly the terrace. It was also an easy walk from the metro.

Best hostel I've stayed in
I loved this hostel so much i extended my stay by 3 nights. Its definitely the nicest hostel ive been in. Its across the road from the cathedral, around the corner from the train station. Great breakfast with pancakes. Staff are lovely and very helpful. The beds have a privacy curtain which makes night time so cosy. My dorm room had a balcony with a gorgeous view of the sky terrace and city. The sky terrace is the perfect place to chill in the sun after exploring the city. I really do not have a bad thing to say about this hostel. I Highly recommend it.

Very Beautiful Designed Hostel!
I arrived very early in the morning and staff allowed me to have a nap in the public louge where blankets and cusions are available. After the good nap, I could have nice experiences in the city and then back to the hostel to check-in my room. My room is comfortable and clean and everything equiped as I needed. The hostel amazed me with its interior designs, really beautiful and unique. They even have an aquarium! And furthermore, the location is close to the station and many famous spots. I really enjoyed the stay and sad that I could only have 1 night there~~~

Overall, it is a super nice hostel. I prefer to use a common shower room which is outside of the room, but they have only in the room. And when someone is using a toilet then anyone in the room can hear the sound. It is a little bit uncomfy but except this, other parts are quite perfect and I think this hostel is really good. Highly recommendable.

Location is convenient, within walking distance to most spots. The upper level of the bunk bed is a bit difficult to climb up and the room is a bit crowded.

This was by far the best hostel I've ever stayed in. The staff was friendly and beyond helpful giving recommendations and suggestions along with tips on navigating the city. In addition, the hostel had a prime location being in the middle of everything and about a 10 minute walk from the river.

Good location and nice hostel
The hostel was in a good location by the train station and walkable in this small city. The hostel itself was clean but the room was noisy with party noises from outside and curtains would have been good for some added privacy.

One of the coolest hostel?
Although it's a bit tricky to find, the location is relatively close to Porto's central district. The hostel has a naturalistic style. I especially like the "fat boy" sleep bags in the common area. There are nice facilities, including a common kitchen, computer area, reading lounges and a cool sky terrace. The staff is among the coolest staffs I have ever met :) They gave very down-to-earth advice. I especially like the tour opportunities the hostel offers: pub crawls (it's amazing, most leaders really know how to dance!), free walking tours, paid wine tour and such. The hostel offers a very yummy breakfast, too (it has the most variety than all the other hostels I have stayed at so far).
