Awkward sink arrangement but great otherwise.

I really loved the location and comfort of the hostel but the design is difficult and inconvenient in that the sinks are in the actual sleeping area. That makes it impossible to brush your teeth and shave etc in the morning because you feel very self-conscious about the noise you are making for late sleepers. Other than that, it was a lovely place, but that one thing may keep me from returning when I come back to Porto. I did go to the lobby and use that restroom to brush my teeth and shave.

This is easily one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at. The rooms were clean, modern, and comfortable. It was very big, more hotel vibes, so not the most social hostel and a place to meet people, but still worth the stay. Great location!
