Nice room on side street. Great restaurants all around. Very comfortable. My room was away from others, so can't comment on noise levels. Breakfast was pretty bare, but sufficient.

Très bon accueil .la suite est conforme au photo je ne regrette pas d'être venu malgré l'appréhension que j'avais au départ mais très agréablement surprise . La suite vaut largement certaines chambres d'un hôtel 3* voir 4* belle découverte et bien placé. Le prix est vraiment intéressant je recommande 👍👍

Matosinhos ist einfach klasse! Leicht verrucht, exzellente Restaurants (Braso do Mar!!!). Surfern würde ich eher P d Cabedelos bei Viana d C empfehlen. Habe sehr gut gegessen, schöne Schuhe gekauft. Und mich ansonsten am sonnigen Strand (breit, für Klippen nach Leca oder Foz ausweichen).aufgehalten. Es gibt nicht das Geringste zu bemängeln.

Beautiful base for exploring Porto.

This hostel is really great. It is new, clean a comfortable, the staff is friendly and helpful, breakfast is tasty and the location is awesome! This dock area is peaceful and full of great fish restaurants and the city center is quickly accessible through the metro. The house itself has all advantages of old beautiful traditional Portuguese house and the new building - so it is beautiful, clean, functional and comfortable.

Great stay

I stayed for a few nights, really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere at the hostel. Very convenient "bed booth" to get privacy in a shared room, with a good reading lamp. Excellent breakfast, very friendly staff, possible to borrow a bike, good wifi. The place is newly renovated, very tasteful.

Unfortunately we did not know we had booked a hostel! When we booked we have not received this information. The stay was not nice, because the room was too small and the customers made noise until 4.30am. Luckily we booked only two nights.
