    I recently stayed at a great hostel in Porto called Coolhostel. My purpose of travel was to explore the city and do some sightseeing. I stayed for a week and had a fantastic experience. The location of the hostel was perfect, as it was centrally located and within walking distance to all the attractions. The room and bathroom were clean and well-maintained. One unique feature was that a friendly seagull greeted us every morning, which added a charming touch to our stay. Additionally, I appreciated the peaceful atmosphere, as there were no noises from the streets.

    Totally recommend this hotel.

    Great location, situated close to public transportation and within walking distance of major attractions. Friendly cleaning staff and a nice breakfast included.

    Limited number of bathrooms and strict kitchen hours. Some of the staff were not very friendly or helpful.

    Despite the negatives, the location of the hostel is ideal, allowing easy access to nearby attractions and making it a convenient starting point for exploring the city. the cleanliness of the rooms and the well-equipped kitchen are noteworthy advantages of staying at Coolhostel Porto.

    The staff lacks professionalism and communication skills, making it difficult to get assistance or have a pleasant check-in process.

    I recently stayed at a great hostel in the center of Porto for a few days. The room was spacious, clean, and had plenty of sockets to charge multiple devices at once. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the location was perfect - just a short walk to the river bank. The renovated bathrooms were modern and the shower was excellent. Plus, the breakfast provided a good variety of options.

    I would be happy to recommend this hostel.

    The room was clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect - central yet quiet. The staff treated me really well, especially Tina who gave me helpful travel tips.

    The breakfast menu could be improved by offering more variety.

    The location of this hostel was perfect! It was close to the metro, shops, and restaurants, making it convenient to explore the city. We also enjoyed the fact that we had kitchen facilities, which allowed us to prepare our own meals and save some money. Best aspects: the location was great, with easy access to public transportation and amenities. Having the option to cook our own meals was a big bonus for us.

    One downside of this hostel was the lack of an elevator. We had a room on the top floor, and carrying our bags up the stairs was quite a challenge, especially with children.

    had an amazing stay at a hostel in Porto. Everything was spotless clean, staff was incredibly kind and helpful. Loved the cozy vibe and beautiful decorations. Terrace was perfect for enjoying meals and the sun. Coolhostel exceeded expectations during this early morning flight.

    More hooks needed in the room.

    The value for money at the hostel was excellent, with a clean and spacious room that exceeded our expectations. The central location allowed us to easily explore the city, and the friendly staff made us feel welcome and taken care of.

    The morning meal could have been improved with a wider variety of options available.

    The atmosphere at Coolhostel was amazing. We loved the vibrant and social vibe of the place. The common areas were lively and perfect for meeting fellow travelers. It truly felt like a home away from home. And the location was ideal, with all the main sights of the city just a short walk away. The value for money was exceptional, and we would definitely choose to stay at Coolhostel again for our next trip to the city. we had a fantastic experience.

    I got great value for my money at Coolhostel with a cozy and clean room. The location was perfect, right in the lively town center but still peaceful. The staff was pleasant, always available, and the night porter was especially friendly and helpful.

    The breakfast option could be improved with more variety, like adding some fruits and yogurts.

    The hostel is located in the heart of the town with shops, restaurants, and cafes nearby. the room was clean and cozy, with a nice common area and a terrace overlooking the backyard. It is conveniently close to the Bolhao market and the Chapel of Souls.

    Felt fine, no complaint.
