Awkward sink arrangement but great otherwise.

I really loved the location and comfort of the hostel but the design is difficult and inconvenient in that the sinks are in the actual sleeping area. That makes it impossible to brush your teeth and shave etc in the morning because you feel very self-conscious about the noise you are making for late sleepers. Other than that, it was a lovely place, but that one thing may keep me from returning when I come back to Porto. I did go to the lobby and use that restroom to brush my teeth and shave.

Breakfast time.......please read comments

Breakfast was great but late. 8.00 am breakfast start was very contentious. I stayed 3 nights and on my first breakfast morning there was a queue for coffee at 8.00 am. Maybe 15 people in the queue at least. On my last morning the lady in charge opened the breakfast hall 20 minutes early because 2 Portuguese ladies had requested this yet I had on my first morning and she refused. When i questioned her about the differing policy with Portuguese people she simply asked to see my breakfast ID card. Nobody else in the 3 mornings where I had been present had anyone beenasked for their card so anybody could walk in and have a free breakfast. Her colleague stands at the bar and is on her phone. I'm not sure what her role is. Scrambled egg came out cold on third morning and later than the rest of the food. The pastel de natas were burnt on the last breakfast too.

This is easily one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at. The rooms were clean, modern, and comfortable. It was very big, more hotel vibes, so not the most social hostel and a place to meet people, but still worth the stay. Great location!
