The hosts went above and beyond to be welcoming and helpful; they even upgraded my room after I made a booking mistake! I found it comfy, felt safe, and appreciated using the shared kitchen. The garden and patio were relaxing when the weather was nice. The proximity to shops and the metro (about two blocks) was convenient.

The hotel was very well designed. Feels very homey and clean and relaxing. The bed mattress was super soft and they also provide bath towels and change our bedsheets daily. Also having a balcony in our room over looking the backyard was such a plus. I love every moment at the hostel. The bathroom soap smells so good I wish they would sell them and the lockers inside were huge. The receptionist Pedro gave really good recommendations and was super friendly too. Breakfast is the best Ive been to in Europe. So many selections. I love the fruit bowls and croissant especially. And love them for having water filter. i cant gushed enough about this ❤️

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!

    This is the best hostel i have been to. And i have done two interrail trips around Europe, probably visiting at least 30+ hostels. The location is wonderful, everybody in the staff is super nice, they have all the things you need at a good backpacker hostel, great breakfast and great dinners at affordable prices.

    I loved everything about this hostel. Top location (right next to Cais de Gaia), super friendly hosts (Dina and Eduarda were helpful and gave me amazing tips on what to visit in Gaia and Porto), the dormitory was warm and very clean, the pressure of the showers was great. The vibe is a thing, you meet super cool people. I truly loved the experience.
