Asrama di Daerah Porto, Portugal

This is the BEST hostel I’ve stayed in, would honestly stay here over a Hilton. I booked a double private room with breakfast and was upgraded to a family room - despite not needing the extra bed, it was nice to have the extra space and not feeling cramped. The staff were amazing and couldn’t do anymore to assist me in anyway. There was an ample choice of options at breakfast, with the usual stuff found in a continental buffet. I must say the food was delicious! I also dined at the restaurant in the evening which was also delicious and VERY well priced - €12 for a meal and a drink! The room was very spacious, especially as I was a solo traveller. The bathroom was well maintained and the entire room was CLEAN! Along with very comfortable beds and passable pillows (but I am fussy with pillows). The location was perfect! Just 10-15 minutes from Sao Bento and around the corner from the river. I must say I did feel EXTREMELY SAFE both in the hotel and in Porto in general. Why would I stay here over a Hilton? For the price I paid, it was extremely well value and I must say I had a 5* experience here.

Overall, this was a great short stay. I enjoyed the aesthetic of the hostel, it was adorable and welcoming. It is more of a calm hostel than a social hostel which I didn't mind for my short stay. I stayed in a 14-bed female dorm for one night and it was okay. The only issue I experienced here was my locker situation, a few of the lockers seemed to be broken and were difficult to use with a code, an option to use one with my padlock would have been nice. Other than that no complaints and would suggest this hostel to other solo female travelers!

Incredible hostel with great bunks, lockers, a wonderful space to relax and a really great breakfast. This was the perfect way to begin my Camino! They have a bar and game night. Bathrooms are clean. Only downside is the kitchen is locked overnight so you can't get in before 8 but plan to stay for the included breakfast. It is the best breakfast on the Camino!

Cuando llegamos hicimos los trámites y el pago rápidamente, luego vimos la habitación, nos alojamos en una habitación con literas, una cama doble, muy decente y limpia. Puesto que íbamos a hacer turismo preguntamos en el propio hostal por sitios que ver, muy amablemente nos indicaron por dónde podíamos ir y nos dieron un mapa. Esa noche también preguntamos por dónde podíamos salir para tomar algo y nos dijeron varias opciones. No llegamos a comer nada allí, pero todo tenía muy buena pinta. Recomendado 100%

The location are good but room and bathroom are dirty. Staff are so so sweety but people who clean it should improve. It seems they dont clean. Price isnt so good, expensive for what they offer and it isnt all beds have curtains.Lot of young people shut the doors at night so suggestion here have cushioning on the doors. * A localização é boa, mas o quarto e o banheiro são sujos. A equipe é simpatica, mas as pessoas que limpam devem melhorar. Parece que eles não limpam. O preço não é tão bom, caro para o que eles oferecem e nem todas as camas têm cortinas. Muitos jovens batendo as portas à noite, então a sugestão aqui é colocar amortecedor nas portas.

The hair dryer is not equipped in the room. The downstairs bar is utterly noisy until 2 am, and you can feel the shake of the floor. They provide u with a small taste if Porto wine. The kitchen has nothing but a microwave to cook, so it is barely a kitchen There’s no water kettle here. The old man who is working as a janitor there and is also living in their 4 bunk bed is constantly very rude to Asian customers. So be aware. Could be racist, his own trauma, stereotypes, or simply anti-Asia. U can see he was smiling to other guests one minute ago and then scolding u in harsh language to u in the next minute. Location is good enough. The reception is only a place with frugal table with keys on it.

It was a great experience.

EL hotel una maravilla, personal super amable tanto en recepción como en el desayuno, la ubicación perfecta y la habitación amplia y con muchas atenciones, sin duda un hotel para repetir, nos recibieron con un vino de oporto y dulces riquisimos.

Everyone from the staff, to the other travellers were so welcoming and super. The hostel was always clean, and even had maids who came and made the beds, mopped, cleaned bathrooms etc. I stayed in an 8 bed mixed dorm, had no faults with my stay. Loved the onsite bar, and breakfast also being included. The staff were very welcoming, would highly recommend.

A 30 minuti a piedi dalla stazione Porto TIC Campana e a 12 da quella di Porto Sao Bento, posizione buona, vicino al centro, poca confusione. Ottima esperienza, tutto perfetto, letto comodo, acqua calda nella doccia, bagni puliti (uno nella stanza e uno appena fuori), servizio gentile e disponibilissimo, mi hanno spiegato tutto all'arrivo e sono stati flessibili sia per check in che per check out. Approvato.

This is not a safe place! Especially if you are a solo traveler. If anything bad happens to you,this hostel would not help you, nor take any responsibility and actually would not care at all. That was exactly what happened to me when staying with them. I booked a mixed room for 5 nights. One night, in the middle of my stay, a sexual harrasment happened in my room conducted by one of the man staying in the same room. He got very drunk. In the middle of the night he started to shout, laugh and finally....masturbated (in a shared room). I was scared to death, my bed was just in front of his, I was sacred he would rape me or hurt me in another way. Suddenly, he went close to the window, and I could hear he was urinating on the floor, on my shoes.. I used the moment that he was across the room to get up and ran out as fast as I could to inform the reception about the incident. I spent the rest of the night in the reception area, was too frightened to go back to the room, I begged them to find something else for me, saying that after all of this, I would not go back to the room. I was asked to pack my belongings as they would check with a manager what they could do for me. On the next day I got the message saying that this man had checked out, and I was offered to stay in the exact same room, in the same bed...or I could leave if I didn't like the idea of staying there... I booked a room in a different place, as I felt disgusted with their behavior. The hostel failed to refund me ANY money for my unused bookings and my destroyed shoes. What was even worse, they never said or charged anything to this man. Nobody called the police. The man ate breakfast and was permitted to check out as if nothing happened. After few days of back and forth with the hostel, they offered that I could cancel the reservation overall to claim a refund - meaning I would not be able to give a review of the place... I refused and decided to give an honest review that this is NOT a safe place to stay, especially for women who travel solo.

Overall, this was a great short stay. I enjoyed the aesthetic of the hostel, it was adorable and welcoming. It is more of a calm hostel than a social hostel which I didn't mind for my short stay. I stayed in a 14-bed female dorm for one night and it was okay.

Nous venons de passer 3 nuits dans cet établis*****t le rapport qualité prix est très bon. Accueil très sympathique. Petit déjeuner compris dans le prix très copieux... jambon fromage œufs fruits frais yaourt gâteaux locaux pain complet céréales blanc... Literie très confortable. Très propre. Salle de bain indépendante mais privative.

It was a great experience.

We stayed in one of their Standard Suite, which is another location. Probably, the most beautiful place I've stayed in interior wise. The room is very modern, bathroom is immaculate. Bed is big and comfortable. It was very quiet and clean. The breakfast is also worth the price and the bar and restaurant is really beautiful. What sets them aside from other places I've stayed is the genuine concern they have for their guests. Due to some unfortunate circumstances, we were forced to transfer to another hotel in the middle of the night. Travelling with a 1-year old, this situation can easily get stressful. However, the staff that attended to us were very very helpful. Going to the extent of helping us packed our stuff and bringing us to the other hotel. We also appreciate that they gave us an update and the sweet gesture of inviting us to lunch for compensation. This is something I will never forget, not just because of the situation, but the way the helped us. Unfortunately, we only had 1 day to enjoy their beautiful room but should my travel itinerary permits, i wish to go back to Porto and stay in their property again. Thank you GH!

The treatment I received at this hostel was despicable, unreasonable and hostile. My flight was delayed for 5 hours and whilst in airport I received a very encouraging email from 'so cool' explaining reception closes at 9pm and if I haven't checked in by then I would have to wait to the morning. Having found somewhere else to stay for that night, I turned up at this hostel the next morning, the rigid lady at reception simply wasn't interested or concerned in the least of my predicament and informed me I was a ”no show” and my room was gone for the whole 3 nights I'd booked. I asked for a partial refund for the further 2 nights as I was now having to find somewhere else to stay and would have to pay top price, she was not interested to know this and told me there would be no refund and no room. Whilst I understand policies are policies I think a bit of allowance for unforeseen circumstances wouldn't go amiss. I had no control of my flight being delayed and had I not received the welcome text reminding me of reception opening hours I would have thought twice about contacting them, their communication was confusing and had mixed messages. More unforgivably is the attitude of the manager even when she knew I had nowhere to go and would need the partial refund to secure alternative accomodation, she was not losing any money and had sold my bed twice. I have used *********** for years to book hostels and I have never received such harsh heartless treatment. Whilst I get business is business, there's more to life than a computer database and rigid rules that don't allow for unforeseen circumstances. The rigid lady tried to tell me it was *********** who cancelled me but this was just a lie,. Thankfully the 'hostel Rosalina' saved my bacon and were a fantastic contrast to ”so cool's awful treatment. The receptionist was wonderful and helpful and her friendliness reassured me Porto was not full of heartless money grabbing robots. Avoid this hostel if you're not going to be there for 9pm or you have any chance of a flight delay. .
