A little bit smells bad, noises of traffic

Friendly staff, comfortable bed, good breakfast

Every detail was great. Staff also friendly and and willing to help with any question. Location couldn't be better. I will definitely stay there when visiting Porto again.

The location, the staff and the room.

I liked everything. This is one of the best hostels I have ever stayed in. It was even better than I expected. Absolutely magical breakfasts (buffet, like in hotels 3 stars and above). Central location. All main attractions are within walking distance. Cleanliness: yes, it was really clean here even though all the beds in the eight-bed room were occupied. I would also like to note that the hostel is located in an ancient building, that is, you feel like an inhabitant of a medieval castle, but very cozy and with all the amenities.

Nothing, all totally excellent.

Excellent location. It is in picturesque Ribeira, yards from the river. Walkable to everywhere you will want to go in Porto. The staff could not be more helpful or nicer. Lourenco is a totally sound guy. The exterior of the building is a work of art in itself. The interior is 4/5 star, comfortable, modern and totally lovely. The breakfast room is really nice, as is the breakfast. Live music in the basement bar at nights is a bonus. Big tv in lounge is ace, comfortable working spaces too. You will not be disappointed in this place in any way. I couldn't think of a better place to stay in the city.

It is noisy due to busy traffic and heavy tourist area. There is no place to hang wet laundry.

It is less than 3 minutes walk to the river, where many restaurants and the main attractions are located. Beds are clean and comfortable.

The front door is a bit confusing at night time, but I definitely think it was our fault in not understanding

The beds were so comfortable I was blown away, especially considering bunk beds get a bad reputation, but absolutely lovely. And the view from our room was just incredible we could see the river and just an incredible location. The staff were so helpful and friendly you really feel welcomed

The hostel is absolutely correct in having Central in its name as I cant imagine it being more central than this. It’s very close to the shore and Ponte Luiz I and you can get to pretty much any point of interest on foot. The property is very well maintained and has a very “antique meets modern” aesthetic. Staff were helpful throughout the stay! The rooms are relatively large and come with a shared bathroom per room. Beds are comfortable and are equipped with a lamp, socket, 2 USB-A charging ports and a privacy curtain. Lockers underneath the bed are very spacious. Highly recommended and good value hostel!

Loved the location, my room was pretty nice as well, just really enjoyed my stay. Nice that you can do meetings as well when you travel for work, just in the remote area. Thanks team!

Doesn’t have a kitchen or anything like it. It’s more a hotel than a hostel. And not much cleaning in the toilets.

Good Location. Very Nice building. The best is the buffet breakfast for 7 e. I would recommend it but you need to know that you won’t be able to cook or heat anything.

Location. Clean. Great staff. Excellent breakfast.

Limited accessibility in the entrance of the hotel. Staff had to open the side door every time I needed to get in and out of the hotel because the main entrance is inaccessible. The solution is so simple. They just needed to install a portable ramp which is inexpensive to make sure wheelchairs can get in and out without having to be assisted all the time by the busy staff.

Location was super, right in the middle of everything. Staff Maria and Gonzalo were wonderful. They did well to help me with my access needs as a solo traveler with a disability. They let me use a fully accessible bathroom. Maria even arranged my transport to the airport. She’s a wonderful and hardworking lady. I sincerely appreciate all her effort in making my stay enjoyable and comfortable. Thank your Maria and Gonzalo.

Our room was on the second floor and facing the Main Street so during the day it was quite noisy but not too much disturbing. At night it was nice.

Really great location, nice facilities, nice breakfast, had gluten free options

The place doesn't have a kitchen or a place to prepare a meal, coffee or fill water of your bottle you must ask to the staff. This is strange for a hostel. The bathroom needs cleaning more times.

I love the woman room. I really like because has a private bathroom. The location is perfect because is near to the river and a lot of sightseeings.

Locker box was a little small. Other than that, everything was great.

Clean rooms and great location.

It was a bit noisy - wear earplugs, and someone put the heat on in the middle of the night - I was roasting in my top bunk.

This is a great place to start your Camino. It is very close to the river, so you can just walk down the street for a minute and then follow the river, keeping it on your left. The rooms were clean and I loved the bunks with the privacy curtain, shelf and outlet for charging your device.

Breakfast can be improved in variety and food replacement.

Central position in the Alfama. Friendly staff.

It was hard to get up to the top bunk. It would be great to have more hooks in the room.

Loved building and location. Great beds with individual cut wins, lights and sockets.

Nice common areas. I got a great view of the Ponte D. Luis, as I got a room on the eighth floor

Great Hostel localization, reasonably clean bathrooms, good furniture and sleeping arrangements (at least in a shared-room for 8 people and good (somewhat boring) breakfast options for longer stays. Because of excellent/central localization, it will be rather noisy, with traffic basically all night long. Was it perfect ? No, but the problems I had (important just for the Hostel and I) were addressed at some point in my 5-night stay (later than sooner, but eh…). Cleaning team was good and Reception squad (in special Goncalo & Maria Ines), were fabulous, always going out of their ways to help, they are an asset for the company, hopefully they will be recognized as they should. I just wish the general Manager would have been more interested as someone holding such a position should be, never once was I approached to share my experience. Had I been a Manager, I would definitely mingle more and be more involved, especially when issues are brought up to their attention.

Check in was a nightmare. 20 or so people trying to check in bang on 3pm. Took 35 mins to get checked in. Unacceptable.

Location, facilities and cleanliness

Buffet breakfast can't cope with large groups. Everything was gone really quickly and they couldn't refill quick enough. Should probably book time slots with large groups so can make enough food for everyone. But otherwise a nice breakfast.

Really friendly and helpful staff. Couldn't do enough to help. Very clean. Great location. Our room was a great size and had everything we needed. Breakfast was basic but nice. Had what we needed.

Small rooms with a lot of beds.

Great location near the river in old Town. G ood breakfast. Comfortable beds. Clean bathrooms. Nice hangout areas on the property
