the residencial porto novo hostel is much more like your friend's house. people who work there are completely friendly, lovely... you can chat a lot, learn about a new culture, feel free to walk around with the constant feeling that you are at home. ah, and the location is really good, once it's quite close to the bus station and to those bridges and the city center. if one day i'm going to porto again, i'll certainly visit them again!

Not only was this the most expensive guesthouse we stayed in, they gave us a room with NO WINDOW, a ridiculously small bathroom, and they lied to us about kitchen facilities that do NOT EXIST. It was not clean, we found old hair under the blanket, and the staff was totally unable. No matter what, do not book this hostel!

If you don't know were to go it's ok, but before, try to find something else.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff were very friendly and happily helped us organise our onward accommodation. Great location, and clean rooms.

Sweet, affordable, old bedding, but clean. Ask for room 403 or 404 for a good view!

very helpful staff and very polite. i had a cozy private room and it was lovely.

Maybe the best hostel I have ever been...
