Rivoli Cinema Hostel, hotel in Vila Nova de Gaia

This hostel is located in the historical Aliados area in downtown Porto, in a restored 1930’s Art Deco building. It is 300 metres from the Porto Train Station and includes free Wi-Fi for all guests.

Everything is well organised. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Good free breakfast. The key card for accessing the hostel, the room, or even the locker is very good. Also, the bed could help protect guests' privacy. The personal light at bed will not disturb others. You can store small stuff in the small compartments adjacent to the bed. The bathroom is very good and clean although it is a little bit small. I really like the shower room that has two compartments; one for hanging and putting the dry stuff and another for showering. This hostel is the best hostel I have ever experienced. It should be the standard for other hostels in managing and organizing the hostel.

Lost Inn Porto Hostel, hotel in Vila Nova de Gaia

Attractively set in Porto, Lost Inn Porto Hostel features air-conditioned rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi and a terrace.

Amazing Hostel in the heart of Porto!! Really amazing location close to so many restaurants and cafes. Only a few minutes walk to main streets and sights. You can even hear the bell tower from the rooms which adds a lot of charm. The room was quite spacious for four guests and also felt really homey. The room and bathroom were immaculately clean and they also offered laundry services for a reasonable fee. They had lots of social events as well for people looking to meet other travellers. The kitchen offered free tea and coffee stations which was an added bonus.

This is one of my favourite hostels I’ve stayed at! The staff made this such a warm and welcoming place and I felt at home here. Facilities were always kept clean and it had an amazing social vibe.

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.
