Absolutely fantastic - one of the best places we have ever stayed in. The host is a really nice, friendly and caring person, and stayed and chatted with us and another guest for ages while we were having breakfast. The room was lovely and the WiFi excellent (I needed it for work), but best of all was the breakfast, which was varied, generous and copious - and as an added bonus the host went out specially to get fresh bread. In fact I ought to explain, in response to people who have said they didn't like the breakfast being available from a fixed time, that this is because that is when the bakery opens!! I don't mind waiting a few minutes for my breakfast if the reward is fresh, warm bread! The apartment is also close to the centre of Porto and the amazing bridge over the Douro river - a 15-minute walk or a 3-minute cheap tram ride. It is in a residential block with an underground car park, which was great because we had a rental car and didn't want it to get damaged by being parked on the street. We will definitely stay here again if we return to Porto (and I hope we do!). Thanks for a wonderful stay!

The place is really nice and it is clear and obvious that the owners made a huge effort to think about every detail and make the guests' stay as comfortable and pleasing as possible. The styling, the equipment and the materials, everything is so nice and thoughtful.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

This place was the best hostel for the same price i paid in other cities. I have been to 5 hostels during this trip in Spain and Portugal. Team is great. Unfortunatelly i didn't ask the name of the gentlemen at the reception but he is very accommodative and valuable Sandeman teammember. All speak English very well which makes communication simple and clear. Very picturesque view from dining room window and atmosphere is relaxing and calming. They have welcome drink, also tea time for free. Breakfast is great!

The vibe is a thing, you meet super cool people. I truly loved the experience.
