    ASUKA from Japan

    1 Person in 6-Bed Dormitory - Female Only
    Stayed 2 nights in March 2026

    “Exceptional”

    It's cheap and very clean. It also comes with towels, and there are lockers with locks. The shower room and toilet are separate, and there is a shared kitchen. The location is good, and the nearby coin laundry is inexpensive and does a great job. The only thing I was concerned about was the creaking of the floor, which can be heard even in the bed. Additionally, there is no elevator, so it might be difficult for those with suitcases, but overall, I highly recommend it!!!

    “Highly recommended.”

    It is clean, the facilities are good, and the staff is friendly. Especially, having two bathrooms, two toilets, personal cabinets, and bedroom lighting in the room is great, and the bed arrangement is also good as it does not interfere with movement. The breakfast is decent, and if you have an early checkout, they prepare a packed meal for you. The location is a bit distant, but I highly recommend it.

    sumi from South Korea
    Solo traveler
    1 Person in 3-Bed Dormitory - Mixed
    Stayed 4 nights in February 2025

    “Highly recommended.”

    - A woman in her 40s. After the Santiago pilgrimage, she moved on to Porto. Planning a 4-night stay for relaxation rather than sightseeing. Leaving a review to help others in similar situations. - In February 2025, booked a mixed 3-person room for 4 nights (including breakfast) for 140 euros. All taxes included. - The ratings on Google and Agoda are very high, but after seeing reviews about the slightly disappointing location, I hesitated but ended up booking the same day after reading most of the reviews. - The female-only dormitory was fully booked, so I went to the mixed dormitory and luckily got to use a bunk bed on the lower level. (This part was a highlight.) The upper bunk looked uncomfortable to sit on, and going up and down seemed daunting. If it hadn't been for the lower bunk, my satisfaction rating would have been about 5-6 out of 10. - As stated in reviews, the room was cleaned daily, bedding was tidied up, and breakfast was very substantial, sufficient even for a brunch. I had breakfast around 10 AM, a snack around 3-4 PM, and dinner around 7-8 PM. In particular, the management and tidiness of the bedding was really at hotel level. Even though I thought I could manage without cleaning, entering the room after cleaning every day for 4 days was an incredibly refreshing experience. - Lello bookstore is a 5-minute walk away, and if you go another 5 minutes down, you'll reach São Bento Station. If you go about 10 minutes further, you'll find the riverside promenade under the Luis Bridge. It seems like going back takes about double the time. As mentioned in reviews, the distance to the riverside under the Luis Bridge is quite far, making the return trip from seeing the night view not easy, but after 4 nights, I found my own way around. (One night is not recommended.) - There are two Korean restaurants nearby with a Google rating of 4.9, so I got takeout and ate it with beer in the hostel's shared kitchen. The shared kitchen has almost all kinds of utensils. I saw some Koreans grilling meat. - It's disappointing that there is no single room. (But it seems unavoidable operationally.) A double room would not be cost-effective for a solo stay. - The 3-person room is located through the reception past the shared kitchen, not in the main building up the stairs, which made it very convenient to have the kitchen and room close together (I heard there is one 3-person room). - Conclusion: I was lucky to use the lower bunk bed in the 3-person room, which provided great value for money. If I visit again, I would probably book a double room in advance. Oh! There is an airport bus (line 602) stop right in front of the hostel!!

    Dear Sumi, Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review of your stay with us. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your experience, especially the cleanliness, the hearty breakfast, and the convenience of our location. It’s wonderful to know that you found the single bed in the three-person room comfortable and that it contributed to a positive stay. We understand that bed preference can make a difference in comfort, and whenever we receive requests for a lower bed, we always do our best to accommodate them—although we cannot guarantee availability. Our hostel is within walking distance of most major attractions and the historic center of Porto, making it easy for our guests to explore the city. We’re also happy to hear that you found great dining options nearby and made use of our fully equipped shared kitchen. Should you visit Porto again, we would love to welcome you back. Best regards, Gallery Hostel Team

    “A 5-star hotel of the hostel world.”

    Advantages: The breakfast is luxurious, the bread is delicious, you can enjoy lattes, and there is a variety of tea... heavenly taste. I stayed in a six-person female dormitory, and the room was very spacious with two toilets and two showers. Personal lockers can also be set with codes!!! It's very clean, and the bedding is tidied up every day. The room is bright, and the kitchen is available for use, so I bought a melon from the supermarket and cut it to eat. Heavenly taste. There is a supermarket nearby, as well as a Korean restaurant and a coin laundry. There is also a water purifier in the kitchen, so you can drink water. Disadvantages: The location is quite far up, so it can be a bit tiring to go back and forth after having fun for a while. It's not impossible to go, but it's quite challenging when it's hot. The location is slightly disappointing... The floor is wooden, and you can feel the bunk beds shaking every time someone passes by. Other than that, the space is really spacious and comfortable to the point of doubting my own eyes. Highly recommend!

    “The overwhelming number one among all the hostels I've stayed at so far.”

    It was a place where I stayed while traveling alone in Europe, and to be honest, there were a few uncomfortable things about staying in hostels during my travels, and I always felt uneasy. But this was the first time I had such a good accommodation. The lack of an elevator was a minor downside, but the staff helped carry my luggage, so it wasn't too inconvenient. The hygiene was great, and I even left my pajamas thrown on the bed when I went out, but they tidied it up for me. The breakfast was delicious, and the bed was so comfortable that I slept well. I was worried that it might be inconvenient without curtains, but the partition was sufficient, and not having curtains actually made it feel less stuffy. The bed was spacious and very comfortable. If I visit Porto again, I will definitely book here again.
