This was the best hostel I’ve ever been to. The biggest reason for that were the volunteers that were working there. They are just amazing people and they make u feel like at home. Thanks to all of you for making this unforgettable, Lidija, Katy, Amil, Bel, Romy and Aurora thank you! Never Seen Volunteers this good, they were always there for us and fun to hang around with.

Gallery Hostel, hotel in Vila Nova de Gaia

Set in a 19th-century building, Gallery Hostel offers a modern, recently renovated air-conditioned rooms with free Wi-Fi.

Oh my god, I could not speak highly of this hostel. First of all, it honestly does not feel like a hostel. Second, the facilities are really good as you can cook food or be spoilt with a cocktail before bed. The staff are amazing and really nice.

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.

One of the best hostels I have stayed at. The room was clean and they provided lockers in the room which was very useful. The room had a tiny balcony and we could get a lot of fresh air. I loved the common areas (there were books to exchange, dvds to watch,kitchen to cook at). They were watching a movie in the evening. The rooftop terrace and bar is also great to chill at. Staffs are quite friendly and helpful

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.

    One of the best hostels I have stayed in. The beds are huge, and really cool. But what really set it apart was the communal dinners and breakfasts on offer, as a solo traveller this was a great way to meet new people. Loved my stay here.
