Probably the coolest hostel dorm I have ever stayed in. Really clean and nice. Really nice lounge area and it is close to most tourist destinations in Porto. This place is a must stay for the seasoned traveler!

It's really great. It's a hotel and a hostel, so the hostel bedding is as clean as a hotel. The breakfast is also good. They serve bread, jam, fruit, cereal, rice pudding, etc. The staff is friendly, and above all, the location and the night view are both excellent. I want to come back~ It was the cheapest hostel I've ever been to, but it's the highest quality ㅎㅎ Tta-bong~👍
