Recently stayed at this hotel and had an amazing experience! The atmosphere is super chill, perfect for meeting fellow travelers. The breakfast is delicious and filling, a great way to start the day. What makes this place stand out is the owner. Always up for a chat and ready to guide you to the best spots in the city. His local insights made my stay memorable. Can't wait to come back, highly recommend this place!

So clean, well organized and in a fantastic location. Some great little touches, free tea and coffee, good cooking facilities, fridge storage, free toiletries, good showers in clean, spacious bathrooms, and luggage storage. Good that they also observe the 'no noise in dorms rules' between 10pm and 9am. And the 2 managers were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again, and highly recommend to others, 10/10

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.
