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.

I booked another hostel before starting the Camino. Cancelled that stay and rebooked at the Gallery. Staff is amazing. Shout out to the bar staff who remembered me when I walked in again after being away for 3 weeks.. very clean and quiet. Definitely not a party hostel. Great area of Porto with lots of restaurants and bars.

    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!

    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.
