Nice place to stay for one night. The truth is that there are a lot of places like this in Porto... so is not so special; we found places cheaper than this but as i said if you need some place to sleep and do not want to look around the city, this is a good option.

The first room I stayed has excellent view - can see the Castelo and the whole Figueira plaza at the balcony. I stayed in 2 rooms, both have no air-conditioning, only an old fan. Lighting is not enough. The furnitures & facilities are aged. Internet service is not free (2 euros half hour). Since it's at the town center, noise of traffic is expected. But I still slept well for 2 nights!close

The people there were very nice, they offered Port before bed.close

Hostel is in a great location. However, the rooms are on the fourth floor, and there is no lift, which makes it quite a load with luggage. Two rooms were booked, and only one had air conditioning (a must). Make sure you get an air conditioned room! Staff were friendly, and the accommodations...

Great location, Rossio Square is just around the corner and majority of sights (except Belem district) are within walking distance from the property, subway stop in front of the property. Clean rooms, friendly staff. Highly recommended! Would stay here again.

Brilliant central location, right in between Rossio and Figueira squares so really close to all attractions, bars and places to eat. Room was a bit on the small side but very clean and a fab shower. Also had a fan and a small fridge in the room which were both appreciated. Would recommend to...

It was in the very best location available. I think when the renovations are done it will have a lot of character - my room opened out over a beautiful square.

Messed up the booking, giving us a double not a twin. Ended up on a folding camp bed squeezed into the room. Room cleanliness poor - sticky floors and bins full of last occupants rubbish. Staff rarely anywhere to be seen. Would have refused have stay here but too late to find somewhere else after...

Fantastic hostel in an excellent location. Affordable price for a two-person bedroom. Liked it all. Better if the kitchen would be better equipped, like with a kettle or the rooms fitted with wifi. That would have otherwise made the entire stay perfect!
