We loved our stay here. We stayed in a private double room with our own bathroom which was wonderful. The room was clean and tidy, shampoo and body wash was provided, as well as a hairdryer. The hostel itself was spotlessly clean and tidy. The kitchen facilities were brilliant. Free wifi is available throughout. It had a very convenient location, a short walk down the hill took you to the river and all of the port wine sellers! Very close to the Ponte Luis bridge to take you in to Porto. I would highly recommend this hostel and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Thank you so much for a pleasurable stay!

Great hostel, owner is super nice, knowledgeable and helpful. Place is just a 10 minute walk to the main area of Gaia and Porto, so its quiet, but also convenient. I got a private room in this hostel, but I'm sure a dorm room would've been fine. Free breakfast every morning and owner offers recommendations or engaging conversations about Portugal and Porto. They did my laundry for 10 euros too, which was great.

This hostel is convenient to the Gaia port, restaurants and cruise ship terminal. Easy walk to Porto. There is a steep hill from the port and 34 steps up to our suite on the first floor. We learned from our first night to close the double glazed window to eliminate the rumble of tyres on the cobblestone road. Our hosts and their staff were very friendly and accomodating to all our enquires including a reasonable priced shuttle to the airport. Be warned there are two identical addresses in Gaia 30 kms apart so make sure your driver takes you to the one near the port.

Perfect location to enjoy porto and learn about the history of the old town and it's port wine production. The hostel is in a traditional street that leads down to the water with great views. Portuguese owned with modern hostel facilities in a beautiful old building, very clean and very welcoming. I wouldn't stay anywhere else!

Location of hostel is fantastic. Within 10 minutes walk to riverfront and several Port wineries. Gustavo Joao Marta, aka Joao, was the consummate host. He gave us some great tips on off-the-beaten-path things (e.g. Where to get a good authentic Franchesinha). His welcoming white port with an orange cake was a great welcoming touch. And at our breakfast every morning we had a chance to sample a different cake (no port though, ha ha). One suggestion for Joao would be to include hard boiled eggs as a breakfast choice. Everything else was up to par. The most challenging thing about the hostel is the stairs. Joao did everything in his power to take care of this. Didn't have to lug up our several pieces of luggage. My 86 year old mother-in-law also managed the twelve steps to her private room with a shared bathroom for several nights. Our private room was another couple of dozen steps up on the second floor with a private bath. Helped us work off all that rich Portuguese food and Port. Hospitality and morning visits with the guests were delightful. This will be one place We would come back to.

Gaia hostel is located in the beautiful Ries street of V.N. de Gaia. The place has a cool styling and a worm staff. Joao, the owner, will help you with everything before you even asked :) We stayed in the douro suite and enjoyed our stay very much. And the staff even cleans it every day - somthing nice that usually hostels are not providing. The room had beautiful view and even fresh flowers! The lication is great, 5 min walk from the river and very quite. It is not in the center of the center in Porto, but in the quieter Gaia and we loved it.

Bästa platsen att bo i Porto tyckte vi! Minst 4 terrasser med fina blommor/ plantor/träd (tex Camelia och Citron) och fantastisk utsikt över Porto. Fräscha lokaler. Supersnälla och hjälpsamma personal. Perfekt situerad mitt i smeten. Allt var topp. (Ta med allergimedicin om man är känslig för ”gamla hus”.) Vi kommer absolut besöka Hostel Gaia igen.
