Excellent place to stay for a few days exploring Porto. Central location, nice rooms and friendly staff. We booked the family room which was just as nice as a much more expensive hotel room - only this was more spacious than most hotel rooms.

Superb location for exploring Porto, in a modern, stylish and quality hostel. Included breakfast was better than we thought it might be! Only downside is the road outside is noisy as there’s a tunnel that every plonker with a noisy motorbike or car decides to rev the hell out of it to blast through the tunnel - so bring some earplugs! That didn’t detract from an amazing “luxury” hostel in a fab location. Highly recommended!

What a fabulous location, bang in the centre of Porto. At £27 per night it was incredible value. Dormitories are not to everyone's taste but careful layout of bunks and privacy curtains make the experience more than pleasant. After 12 nights on the Camino de Santiago, this was just another routine sleep.
