Très bon accueil .la suite est conforme au photo je ne regrette pas d'être venu malgré l'appréhension que j'avais au départ mais très agréablement surprise . La suite vaut largement certaines chambres d'un hôtel 3* voir 4* belle découverte et bien placé. Le prix est vraiment intéressant je recommande 👍👍

Matosinhos ist einfach klasse! Leicht verrucht, exzellente Restaurants (Braso do Mar!!!). Surfern würde ich eher P d Cabedelos bei Viana d C empfehlen. Habe sehr gut gegessen, schöne Schuhe gekauft. Und mich ansonsten am sonnigen Strand (breit, für Klippen nach Leca oder Foz ausweichen).aufgehalten. Es gibt nicht das Geringste zu bemängeln.

Beautiful base for exploring Porto.

This hostel is really great. It is new, clean a comfortable, the staff is friendly and helpful, breakfast is tasty and the location is awesome! This dock area is peaceful and full of great fish restaurants and the city center is quickly accessible through the metro. The house itself has all advantages of old beautiful traditional Portuguese house and the new building - so it is beautiful, clean, functional and comfortable.

Great stay

I stayed for a few nights, really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere at the hostel. Very convenient "bed booth" to get privacy in a shared room, with a good reading lamp. Excellent breakfast, very friendly staff, possible to borrow a bike, good wifi. The place is newly renovated, very tasteful.

Unfortunately we did not know we had booked a hostel! When we booked we have not received this information. The stay was not nice, because the room was too small and the customers made noise until 4.30am. Luckily we booked only two nights.

No busques lujos

El hotel no esta bien señalizado y pasa desapercibido. Nos alojamos en la suite, pero una habitacion normal de cualquier hotel de 3 estrellas es mas grande. El baño no estaba mal,aunque si mides mas de 1'50m de alto, tendras que agacharte para poder acceder a el. El resto de habitaciones tienen que compartir baño. Para desayunar tienes que entrar en la cocina para preperartelo y sacarlo al comedor. El punto a favor que tienen es la cercania a la playa, todo un lujo al precio que se paga. Y mucho cuidado con la hora de entrada, por que aunque ponga en expedia que es apartir de las 10:00, en realidad es a partir de las 16:00. Como llegamos pronto y no pudimos acceder a la habitacio, tuvimos que hacer tiempo, menos mas que el acuario sea life esta cerca y hay varios restaurantes en la zona para pasar el tiempo. Si vas en verano tambien tienes la opcion de la playa.
