Susanna the manager does an excellent job making the Hostel run like clockwork and is very friendly and helpful.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

This was great!! The property was super clean, the staff were friendly and helpful, and people were actually quiet during quiet hours!

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Olivia, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

+) 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.

Stay is cheap but there no Air conditioning in this establishment. In July with temp 30 degrees you will feel suffocated.

À peine arrivé on me demande de payer, alors que je pensais avoir déjà payé en ligne. Sur place logement tres propre, et personnel sympathique Lits sommaires mais qui font l’affaire Auberge de jeunesse propre
Aymeric, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Il s'agissait d'une chambre individuelle dans une auberge de jeunesse. La localisation est proche du centre historique et le personnel très sympathique. En revanche l'état des locaux est vieillissant et certains équipements en mauvais état.
Alain, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

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.

O local atende as expectativas para quem vai passar o dia todo fora e precisa apenas de um lugar para deixar as coisas e dormir.

2/10 Poor

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

La salle de bain était partagée et l'annonce ne l'informait pas. La connexion wifi était quasiment impossible. Pour le reste tout était correct.

8/10 Very good

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?

Auberge bien située. A 100 m station métro qui va dans le centre ou à l'aéroport. Propre. Bonne literie (chambre individuelle). Personnel agréable. Pas eu assez de soleil pour profiter du jardin. 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.
Isabelle, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Para ir a solo a dormir increíble

Nos hospedamos en la habitación individual, como veis en las fotos sencilla, lo justo para dejar las maletas. Está zona está en la última planta que es la 4 y no hay ascensor. Solo había 2 habitaciones y el baño a compartir es solo para esa zona. Está todo súper limpio, tanto las zonas comunes, como la habitación. Está andando al centro (estación sao Bento) unos 25/30 minutos. Hay parada de metro a 3 minutos andando Carolina Michelis, con lo cual hay opciones sino quieres andar. Tienes cocina para compartir, que está súper limpia y entra un pequeño desayuno compuesto por un bollito de pan con queso y jamón dulce, o lo puedes acompañar con mantequilla, mermeladas, nocilla, miel… también cereales. Lo que podéis repetir es bebida y cereales. Es bastante correcto. A parte que se puede utilizar para cocinar tu comida.

Llévate tus sábanas, lo demás bien!!

Un Hostal muy bien ubicado, la parada de metro de Carolina está a 3min., el desayuno está muy bien, y se puede descansar en silencio por las noches. Lo único precario de este Hostal son las sábanas de la cama y las almohadas/cojines, cuando destapamos la primera noche nuestra colcha, descubrimos sábanas con pelos y suciedad!! Nos dio muchísimo asco dormir esa primera noche.., y las almohadas son tipo cojines pequeños y muy deformados!! Puede que en este Hostal estén hasta las narices de recibir gente maleducada, pero la higiene va con uno mismo, y no todos los clientes somos iguales; El lavabo muy espacioso y bonito, pero faltan los pestillos tanto del WC como de las duchas, ah!! Y si que hay agua caliente, lo q si alguien se ha duchado antes que tú, tienes que esperar a que se vuelva a llenar el calentador. Solo lo recomiendo si te llevas tus propias sábanas.
