What a great find. Priced very reasonably, easy to find. Extremely clean. Good breakfast choices included in the price, a garden to relax in as well as a sitting room. However what made our stay exceptional was Suzane who welcomed us , looked after us, recommended restaurants and made phone calls for us. She is fantastic.

Definitely get what you pay for. Value is decent. They are a stickler for the rules, especially the quiet hours, and they make you leave your room from 11am-2pm to clean, so keep that in mind. Check in is seamless, but do not come late, they are closed from 22:00-8:00 I think. Overall great value, met a lot of nice people. Best thing was the cleanliness.

+) The staff were very nice. The neighbourhood is quieter, but is close enough to a nice street with some cute shops and there are metro stations nearby. -) There was no outlet near my bunk and the wifi did not work when I was there. The room was also very hot and the air conditioning did not work. Bed and sheets looked clean, but I got a couple bug bites that I am pretty sure were from my stay. The bathroom could be cleaner.

Primeira acomodação que vi na vida que não te permite esperar pelo check in la e te cobra para deixar as malas antes. Me mandaram sair na chuva até que fosse a hora do meu check in. O hostel é bonito e limpo mas a cama extremamente barulhenta e desconfortável. Café da manhã pobre, não fornecem proteína. Pelo valor que paguei de 50 dólares na diária, não valeu nem um segundo.

Pior experiencia em hostel. Pessimo atendimento, a atendente foi nojenta e debochada quando chegamos, pois nao sabia como era o hostel e fiz perguntas quanto ao banheiro. Ela olhava com deboche. Tambem quis cobrar dois euros para guardar a bagagem. No dia sefuinte o cafe da manha uma miséria, um pao, uma fatia de queijo e uma de oresunto embrulhadas separadas. Melhor que nem oferecesse. Ficamos num quarto privativo com banheiro também privativo, mas no ultimo dia, apareceu outro casal e o banheiro deixou de ser privativo e sim compartilhado e nao era o que comprei no site. Enfim, nunca mais! As roupas de csma nao foram tocadas pois encontrei cabelo de outra pessoa.. Recebemos uma toalha de banho para os tres dias de hospedagem. Me senti muito mal, dormindo numa cama suja usada por outra pessoa! E outro dia quando quis emprestar o secador, me ditaram as regras do uso e o horario. Nao sou crianca que nao sei respeitar

Très propre bien situé proche du métro. Nous avions une auto que nous avons stationné assez facilement sur le bord de la rue pour une nuit. La chambre avec deux lits simples est très grande. Le petit déjeuner est bien. L’hôte nous demande de ne pas faire de bruit entre 23h et 7h même pas utiliser la douche. Donc à 23:15 , nous avons pris notre douche à l’eau froide. Pas d’eau chaude jusqu’a 8:30 le lendemain matin. Coïncidence?

Pas de télévision dans la chambre, mais le soir après avoir visiter Porto (avec les escaliers, les montées), on n'a pas besoin de télévision.
