Very pleasant
+ very pleasant, helpful, outgoing staff + huge room with a big bathroom, all very clean + location 3 min walk from metro stop (served by majority of Porto metro lines), 15 min walk to the old Porto centre + big garden right in front of the room, would be great for a summer stay ~ basic breakfast, not too many choices but quite tasty (good bread) - bed not so comfy - soundproofing of the room could be better Overall, I had a very good stay - the minuses are more tips for improvement, I would recommend this hostel to any not-too-fussy traveller.
