Staff were so polite and helpful. Rooms amazingly clean - so nice to come back to your bed made in a dormitory.

Someone snoring incredibly loudly at night so make sure you bring your earplugs! The location - if you're looking to spend a lot of time exploring the wine cellars, and on the boats taking trips to Duoro valley then this side of Porto (Gaia) is the place to be. If you're more after the city vibe, then choose to stay on Porto side. You have to go up and down a big hill to get to this accommodation, so be prepared for that (may not be suitable to walk if you have lots of luggage, take a taxi!) The free walking tour they recommended (Sandeman free tours) didn't have the best guide, so make sure you do your own research if you're looking for a decent quality walking tour with history.

I stayed in the 14 bed female dormitory and had the best night's sleep on my backpacking trip there! The bed and pillow was so comfortable, easy ladder to climb (to the higher bed). Even though there were others sleeping there, it felt you have your own personal space in your wine barrel shaped bed! I appreciated all the design details! The room had a much larger feel than what I imagined it would be from just looking at the photos We had three private bathrooms for the room of 14 (I never had to wait for one to be free - it always somehow worked out well!). Great location with an awesome view that I couldn't get enough of. Breakfast was plentiful - You got a croissant, a slice of ham and cheese, yoghurt pot, there was even dark wholegrain bread available, cake, fruit, and you could buy additional pancackes or ommeletes for 1€ or 2€. Breakfast was between 8-11 and checkout time very convenient at 12. They stored my luggage for free after checkout in a locked cabinet, so it felt very safe. I liked the lockers that were code based. You even got a small guest discount for Sandemans wine cellars tour.

Amazing Hostel! This hostel knows what its doing. its so good. The dorm beds are huge and so comfortable. The rooms are so spacious. the dorm bathrooms are through the main dorm room but separated by a huge corridor which is just amazing.. cant hear a thing. had a great nights sleep. the staff are so lovely and so helpful. a huge thank you to them. the main social room is a 10 out of 10. perfect place to meet travelers, you all eat breakfast around the table which is fantastic. breakfast so well organized. and u can order extra goodies like omelette if you want them. The sofa orientated around each other is just incredible socially and the view out to the river is fab! the location is 10 for us. love this side of porto. oh yeh, and these are the best lockers we've ever had travelling all across the world - love them. plugs/lights/privacy curtain on the beds. the cleaning staff were so lovely and the rooms are very clean. We stayed here with 10 friends in total and they all loved it as well. we also checked in at 1am due to flights and the staff were so helpful. THANK YOU SANDEMAN. you rock.

Maybe a little more interesting with other people staying, like a family style dinner.

It was in a perfect location and the staff was amazing.

Perfect location, a beautiful old building with history, excellent concept of suites with hostel. A port cellar tour can be booked and should not be missed out.

The bathroom wasn't so clean but I put it down to the other users more so than the hostel itself.

The common area is beautiful and the breakfast is excellent. The bed was really comfy and the other users were quiet which is always a bonus.

Everything was perfect, but I realized I was too old for these beds🙈 felt like Thumbelina sitting inside a tulip, cute in your 20s , not at 40. But still loved the hostel. I’d book it immediately again if I was younger 👏👏

Loved the vibe, the communal space, the location , the breakfast.

Couldn't fault anything.

Great location looking over to Porto, very easy to walk there. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast included was well worth it to set you up for the day.
