This is definitely a hostel for community & making friends-they have tons of events & really promote that. Beds were comfortable, had curtains, and your locker/room was locked by a bracelet you got at check-in making it very convenient. Location is awesome-you are close to tons of bars/restaurants/Porto attractions, and getting to the river is a 10-15 minute walk downhill. If you want a quiet hostel, this probably is not the place for you with the guests it attracts and also being in a train station. Overall I had an excellent time & would stay there again!

Red Flag — Great Stay, But Major Safety Concerns

Red Flag — Great Stay, But Major Safety Concerns I genuinely enjoyed my stay overall — the atmosphere was great, the location convenient, and the staff generally friendly. However, safety is a serious concern that future guests should be aware of. Unfortunately, my bag was stolen from the reception area, where guests are encouraged to leave their luggage for temporary storage. I trusted this service, only to find that my belongings had disappeared — with no clear explanation. To make matters worse, I was told the security cameras weren’t functioning properly, so there’s no footage of the incident. When I asked for further investigation, the response was dismissive at best. I was told, “Sorry, this never happened before,” which didn’t help recover my belongings or restore trust. Too many unanswered questions and a lack of accountability turned what could have been a great experience into a stressful and disappointing one. Bottom line: If you choose to stay here, do NOT leave your luggage at reception — and keep your valuables with you at all times.

Nice, convenient location in the city centre. Some nice activities run by the staff. The hostel does have people popping in and and out at odd hours. The cleaning ladies do a fabulous job and are very helpful. Breakfast is average and depends on on who has woken up after last nights pub crawl to get things ready for the guests, accordingly some items may or may not be there. No food or drinks allowed in the dorm but that doesn't stop people from opening a bottle of wine and drinking it openly or turning the lights on at mid night or talking loudly. While some are more respectful of others privacy, the others may be not. Beware that there could be some guests lurking around just to make friends for a free drink and more. But as I said all in all it is convenient and that's important.

The staff is the best part, they are all extremely kind and helpful. The kitchen area on the top floor for breakfast was collegial. There's an elevator, laundry room and very clean bathrooms. It was a novelty to stay here, in a private room. But the city is digging a new subway line directly in front of the hostel, so the windows face into a noisy construction zone. The room has blackout drapes but ... there's a window at loft bed-level, above the door, where every time someone walks down the hallway and triggers the motion sensor light, your room lights up.
