The House of Sandeman

Loved my stay at Sandeman. Room was really lovely, view across the river gorgeous, shower brilliant. Nice location and loved the lounge area. Staff I interacted with were also very lovely.

Le petit déjeuner était bon et les chambres sécuritaires! L’espace commun était aussi très accueillant.

The riverview room are very good. Staff are friendly and breakfast is great.

Amazing stay! The staff was great, especially the staff with blonde-ish white hair, they truly made the whole stay very comfortable. This has been my favourite hostel I’ve ever stayed at and the wine was fantastic :)

Excellent location with the best views of Porto from our room. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. Our breakfast was excellent. The hotel has a wine cellar for tours, it also offers tours and other services (at discounted rates). I'd definitely stay again if back in Porto.

Everything was perfect. We stayed in a River View room and loved watching the sunset and Porto’s night lights right from our window — no need to go out to enjoy the view. The room was spotless and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful. If we visit beautiful Porto again, we’d definitely stay here again!

Great location and great breakfast!

Location is perfect, and the hostel is amazing. Great value for money

Location is amazing, great value for money

Amazing place, amazing staff. Beds were amazing too!

The rooms and bathrooms are very well kept and clean, the lounge is great and the staff is very kind. I recommend it to everyone who wants to travel in a hostel, it feels like a hotel!

Love it

Very clean comfortable with nice staff.

My husband and I loved this hotel. He is 87 and I am 75 so it might seem like an unusual choice for us. The check-in desk is on the 3rd floor and there is no elevator. But we were game for the climb. My husband went up first and we received a great Portuguese welcome. Young adults came down and carried our bags upstairs to our room for us. They refused to accept any tip for the service. Instead, we were treated like respected grandparents/aunt and uncle. Our room was beautifully clean and had an amazing view of Porto from the Vila Nova de Gaia side of the Rio Douro. When we were getting ready to leave the next morning, the staff was a bit concerned that we had not ordered a custom breakfast from their menu, and instead chose sliced fruit and their wonderful brown bread with butter, and coffee. (We were having a traditional Portuguese lunch with our daughter and her husband in the early afternoon and you know what that means!) When it was time to leave the hotel, young people again carried our bags downstairs, and once again, refused a tip for their service. We highly recommend this hotel for those who love something fun and different and can manage a stair climb for a wonderful view of Porto.

A lovely stay in a safe area. The staff are really helpful and nice. The beds are large and comfortable. The breakfast is simple and buffet-style with some fresh items like eggs made to order. They offer 24/7 water and luggage storage. I hope to see more bins placed around (since the only one is in Kitchen). Overall a good stay, I recommend it.

Friendly, helpful staff and service, chill and comfortable atmosphere, perfect location.

Best hostel l have stayed in. No negatives at all. Great location and views. Very welcoming and helpful staff. Comfortable and larger than average beds. Everywhere clean. Breakfast fabulous andvusevof kitchen facilities if needed. Would definitely recommend a stay here ..wish l could have stayed longer

Wonderful view over the Douro river. Central location for our port house wine touring. Made to order breakfast + additional buffet was satisfying. Bed was firm/hard, but this wasn’t a big issue for our one-night stay. We stayed in a private room - I believe this location has dorm/hostel rooms as well.

Location in the heart of the port wine district and at the river boat moorings. Also has great tastings next door.

Beautiful great location excellent
