Being Porto Hostel

Hostal bastante decente en una ubicación muy conveniente. Sin embargo, no hay ascensores en este albergue, lo que me dificulta llevar mi equipaje hasta el tercer piso. La recepción NO está abierta las 24 horas, por lo que no pude salir antes del horario de atención. Meh.

The hostel is close to the main sites, easy to find, easy to access via a key card and its location felt safe to walk around day and night. The staff answered my questions and were welcoming. My 4 bed female dorm, the bathroom and common areas were clean. The optional breakfast, started from 7.30am and cost 4 euros. We could help ourselves to it and it was plentiful, nutritious, varied, delicious and great value for money. The bed was a bit pricier than beds in most hostel dorm rooms in Porto but it was perfect for my type of trip and I'm happy I paid a few euros extra for a quality stay. I would especially recommend the hostel to solo female travellers, because it is one of the few hostels in Porto with 4 bed female dorms. I would recommend it to newcomers to Porto because it is easy to find from Sao Bento train station. I wouldn't recommend this hostel to people whose main aim is to meet lots of fellow travellers because the common areas didn't have lots of music and social vibe in November [low season], and there weren't any organised events such as bar crawls which there are in some of the more traditional hostels. This hostel had a more 'guesthouse' style and feel to it, at least when I visited in November anyway.
