It's an excellent place to stay. The location is perfect, in a strategic spot for sightseeing and with easy access to transportation (buses and metro). A bus that goes directly to the airport even stops right on the corner. The facilities are clean and nice, and the staff is super friendly. The only downside is that it doesn't seem to have a good heating system, as it was very cold at night, and you have to use a lot of stairs with your suitcases; there's no elevator. Besides that, everything was nice.

That’s 100% a hostel where you pay for the vibe. It is the most social one I have ever encountered. Apart from the planned activities, the crowd is young and everyone wants to interact. We booked the private room with the shared bath- it must be said that the bath is only shared with one more room, so it is very private in this sense. Thanks for everything!!

The hostal looked good on the photos but in real it was even better. The ambiance was great as the personnel was very friendly and there was a cozy and home-like atmosphere. Everything would be cleaned regularly both the rooms and the common area (kitchen and livingroom). The bed was an absolutely delight: matrass 10/10, pillow 10/10 and sheets 10/10. And on top of all of this is the location between the hostal and pretty much any tourist sight!

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.
