I liked the property location.

10/10 Exceptional

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!

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect location, close to everything! The curtain in the bed and ensuite bathroom is much appreciated! Clean, Many activities. Terrible check in system, asked to sit down and wait to be called in order, then staff completely disregarded their own instructions and starts with new walk ins... Also takes way too long for each checkin process. A bit noisy as expected when central. Quite squeaky beds. The storage under bed is not possible to use a regular padlock.

NATALIA LUIZA, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Delightful!
Relaxed, modern and a pretty unique hostel as it functions with strict processes & procedures like that of a 3-star hotel in a great location. Special unique touches like a "welcome drink", wooden keycard & carpets in hallway common areas.I have enjoyed my stay here special thanks to Thiego, Victor, Maria & Felix and everyone else who made my stay memorable!
Marc, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very positive experience
We must be frank and admit that the success of this experience is essentially thanks to the very attentive team of the hostel. I recommend this hostel for its location in the heart of events in Ribeira. Comfort, cleanliness, decor, design and services with a great restaurant and a music room for guests. A special thank you to Maria for her quality of welcome and for everyone. Go without hesitation
RIADH, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Exceeds Expectations
Relaxed, modern and a pretty unique Hostel as it functions with processes & procedures like that of a 3or4-star hotel in a fantastic location near the Douro River. The added unique touches like a "welcome drink", wooden keycards & carpets in hallways as well as extra large storage were unique special touches & greatly appreciated. I enjoyed my stay at this establishment. With special thanks to Mathieu, Thiego, Victor, Maria, Clinton, Shaddy and everyone else who made my stay a memorable one!
Marc, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

When all 8 beds in dorm are full it gets a little crowded. Most guests checked out within a day or two… Shower and toilet within a pretty small space and water was getting onto the floor in front of toilet. Sinks for getting ready are open concept and right on the way out so a little awkward. Other than those things it was a good experience and a pretty good spot to meet other travellers. Staff was always friendly and helpful! Right near the Douro river so lots to see and do plus many photo opportunities!
Dino, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Location was great and bed was comfortable. Bathroom was dirty and there was no toilet paper at all when I arrived at 4 pm so I think there wasn't any cleaning done that day. The small nightstand next to bed wasn't cleaned and was dirty and also some rubbish in the locker. The sinks were in the room, not in the bathroom so I woke up when someone was running the water in the middle of the night.
