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.

Very pleasant

+ very pleasant, helpful, outgoing staff + huge room with a big bathroom, all very clean + location 3 min walk from metro stop (served by majority of Porto metro lines), 15 min walk to the old Porto centre + big garden right in front of the room, would be great for a summer stay ~ basic breakfast, not too many choices but quite tasty (good bread) - bed not so comfy - soundproofing of the room could be better Overall, I had a very good stay - the minuses are more tips for improvement, I would recommend this hostel to any not-too-fussy traveller.

Porto hostel

Excellent staff and very helpful! Location good, very close to the metro station. Breakfast is free and very good & generous, for a hostel (good quality fresh bread rolls, butter, honey, jams, chocolate spread, cheese, ham, different types of cereal, fruits, coffee, tea, juice. Well equipped kitchen, amazing terrace and good communal space. Now, what needs serious improvement is the bathroom. 2 toilettes and 2 showers for all females is not enough at all. Not to mention that there is not much privacy as all 4 cabinets are in the same room, separated by glass paneld with not enough shadowing (almost transparent!). The toilets are really tiny, you are squeezed even while standing. Also, some chairs in the rooms would be good. Finally, a bit shame to charge for luggage storage..my view on this though.
