💯 Love it here! Its my third time returning. Its clean, friendly, great location, helpful staff, beautiful views. Greeted with a delicious breakfast and good morning. I've joked with them I will work to stay with them next time I come back. Sandeman won't disappoint & Porto & Vila Nova de Gaia certainly wont. ♥️

My favourite hostel I’ve ever stayed at, the location and value for money. Previously I had stayed in the en-suite private room. Love the atmosphere and staff are very friendly.

Great spot to stay. Beds are super comfy and breakfast included was great! The location is pretty good if you’re only going to be in Porto for a few days, otherwise I would recommend staying on the other side of the Douro.
