Everything was perfect! I stayed in a single room, very descent and clean. The famous beautiful train station 10mins walk, the bougie McDonald 5mins walk. Everything is literally close by. Caique was the life of the party, he gave me amazing recommendations on what to do around and how to get there. The staff were fantastic. My only issue was that when doors in other rooms were shut, it affected my door. If you’re a light sleeper, you might have to wait until everyone goes to bed.

Great budget stay for solo traveller

I loved the Rivoli Cinema Hostel. It's ideally located in Porto with tons to do and see only a few blocks away. I stayed in a private room while travelling solo after a group trip ended. I much prefered a private room and communal bathroom to sharing a room in a hotel that was allegedly 3 stars. This was a much better experience and the rooftop hangout is an extra perk!!

Amazing Hostel

Amazing hostel, the staff were so friendly and accommodating! There’s chances to meet up with other solo travellers which is great. The beds are comfortable and have a privacy curtain which is always a great benefit. The only issue I had was that the bathrooms were mixed gender which I didn’t personally enjoy but other than that there were no issues at all. The location is perfect for tourist locations and very close to the metros. In all I would definitely say it is one of my favourite hostels I have stayed at and will definitely be staying again when visiting Porto!

The room was way too small for the price. Also we booked the property due to the pool but they closed it citing winter despite it not being too cold at the beginning of october in Porto. Hostel room would probably be worth it but the individual room at this property is not good.

We had a private room with shared bathroom in the Rivoli Cinema Hostel for 3 nights. It is in walking distance to most of the sights, tours and supermarkets. The kitchen was well equiped, the shared bathrooms were clean and our room was comfortable. It is a bit noisy with the traffic, but it is to be expected on this location.The staff was fun and very helpful. The cinema theme is everywhere, in all the small details! Great home base in Porto!
