Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — The hostel does not permit pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Check-out window is early — Check-out is from 02:00 to 12:00, which may be tight for those hoping for a later morning departure.
  • Basic room amenities — Rooms come with only a shower (and sometimes a bathtub) – no air conditioning, TV, or workspace in the room.

“Our stay was fantastic – the staff made us feel incredibly welcome and ensured we had everything we needed. The decor was cosy and stylish, and the full kitchen and free washer were great bonuses. Comfortable beds with privacy curtains, plus towels provided. The location was convenient, just a short walk to the metro, and we liked being slightly away from the city centre. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Porto.”

“I was pleasantly surprised by the community atmosphere and the staff – Jesus, Erick, and the owner Dimitry went above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome. The dorm had comfy beds with individual lamps, sockets, and curtains. Spacious, secure lockers, and towels provided and changed regularly. The living spaces were great – a large kitchen and a cosy lounge with TV and speakers. The garden was nice, WiFi reliable, and location convenient with shops and supermarkets nearby. Highly recommended.”

The kitchen and lounge were great for hanging out, and the garden was perfect for catching some sun. Free-to-use washing machine was a bonus, WiFi was good, and there were plenty of shops and eateries nearby. It's a 20-minute walk from the centre and easily reachable from the airport by metro.”
