Book this property you won’t regret it! I loved the room because it looked exactly like the picture on display. It was very clean. The host Benita, was more than welcoming and helpful. They made my stay in Porto so memorable. I loved that when I was feeling unwell I felt comfortable enough to request medications, and they were given to me along with fruits and a drink to make sure I felt better that day. They respected my privacy. The shared kitchen and bathroom were kept very clean and the building overall had a pleasant smell. If you need to check in earlier than mentioned, I would advise that you call or email directly in advance to ask if it is possible, to avoid any last minute inconveniences to the host and for you as the guest.

So clean, well organized and in a fantastic location. Some great little touches, free tea and coffee, good cooking facilities, fridge storage, free toiletries, good showers in clean, spacious bathrooms, and luggage storage. Good that they also observe the 'no noise in dorms rules' between 10pm and 9am. And the 2 managers were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again, and highly recommend to others, 10/10

The stuff was great: really nice and welcoming!:) I really liked the vibe and the atmosphere of the hostel. Met some cool new people there. The location is by the river, in the center, and you can walk everywhere with ease. Room was clean and tidy, I liked that the beds had their own curtains for the privacy.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. 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.
