Overall Ratings & Reviews Porto Lounge Hostel & Guesthouse

Great place

Lovely hostel with lovely workers

Friendly front desk staff with modern decor. Location is perfect and central in Porto. Easily accessible to major metro stops. I would stay at this hostel again.

Great location walking distance to shopping, restaurants/cafe, public transportation and sites

Clean and comfortable with a good breakfast in the morning.

Great location, close to everything, nice and clean.

Brilliant that you have Chargers in lockers, brilliant idea. Modern inside and spacious. Staff are friendly and very helpful.

Good value for money as it is quite close to the main station connecting almost all areas of Porto. It does take a while for the showers to run hot water, but that is only minor. It is a quieter hostel so it is excellent for light sleepers.

We had great experience

This hostel is not in the middle of all the Porto action--which probably helps keep prices reasonable. It is staffed by student interns and other young adults--which matches the guest demographic. There's a laundry a couple of blocks away. I paid to have breakfast included--lots of options, including protein (ham and cheese). There's a guest fridge, too. Your bed will have an assigned locker--bring your own small lock or buy one from them. You can also rent towels if you didn't bring one. Walking tours depart from the lobby 3x a day, and you can get a glass of wine for only 1€ during the evening happy hour. The hostel IS close to Torre de Clerigos and Livraria Lello (which has a Harry Potter conection). You can get to most everything else in 10 minutes of walking--15 at most. When you check in, the staff will offer to suggest things you might like to see or do (they will also offer a map). The hostel is uphill from most things you might be seeing/doing--wear comfy walking shoes! If you are given a choice of bed, don't opt for the one just inside the room door, as the automatic light in the hallway goes on anytime someone steps out to use the bathroom. (At least one other hostel in town sells eye masks...). Also, be warned that Porto's "smoke-free building" definitions do NOT include the 30-foot perimeter we have in the US--expect some smoke to waft in through any open windows or doors. Porto is an amazing city--enjoy your stay!

Very friendly and helpful staffs. Room is clean. My room was on the top floor and the young male staffs help to carry my 2 large suitcase up to the 4th floor. 5 min walk to metro and very nice and cheap grill chicken rest nearby.

Secure building, area of town looks like rejuvenation is happening! Good wifi, beautiful outdoor space for relaxing. Nice kitchen/breakfast area. Our private room shared toilet and shower with another room. Good water pressure, room very tidy. My only issue; air conditioning was on a timer, shutting off in the night. You wake up in a stifling room with no air movement til you get up, push the button on the thermostat next to the door. A gurgling of water(?) for the longest time comes on and cool air movement is back. Makes for a somewhat sleepless night. Staff is friendly and bilingual. Assisted from free walking tours and free language classes, both very worthwhile, to directions and printing plane tickets. Thank you for a very pleasant stay.

Spotlessly clean, friendly and helpful staff and good location. Street noise at night which is a bit intrusive.

A well located and reasonably priced hostel, with easy access to the majority of sightseeing venues in Porto. Free continental breakfast provided and a helpful team of staff. Double room had access to a bathroom and shower room shared with one other room.

Nice stay. The hostel s location made it easier to go wherever i wanted. The friendly staff make you feel like home

The hostel offered some cool fun tour opportunities. we did a free walking tour and it was great! The hostel also offered private rooms which was great for us, cleaniest hostel I have ever stayed in. The staff was super attentive and really helpful! This was a great location with restaurants easily within walking distance. Would stay here again my next trip to Porto!

Outstanding hostel.

A very good stay overall. Very central location and the reception staff was extremely helpful. The only drawback was that it's very noisy on Saturday night and the window didn't seem to be sound-proof.

The Porto Lounge and Hostel was great - one of the best hostels I've stayed in. It is very close to the main square and the room/bathroom were great. Clean, tidy and somewhat modern. I was with one other friend and we had a double bed and shared our bathroom with only one other couple. It was great and would definitely recommend this to others.

We only stayed for a quick overnight here, but our private room/shared bathroom was very clean and comfortable. The woman who checked us in was very welcoming, and it seems like they have lots of events planned that we didn't have a chance to take advantage of -- seemed like a fun and social place to spend some time.
