Lost a star on access. Be prepared to carry suitcases up multiple sets of stairs.
Access to private rooms through black painted stairwell with poor lighting. (a light colored accent wall would not change edgy vibe…)

Lovely historic building located in the heart of Gaia. We booked a suite and had an amazing view over the Douro River and onto Porto. Everything was easily walkable and the city has so much too see and do. We even did some port tours and got a reduced rate through the front desk. Breakfast was delicious and made to order with tons of choice and wonderful coffee. The only downside to our entire experience was the noise of people coming in and out using the stairs and that our suite was right beside the common area/breakfast area. I would definitely book again but probably not the suite.

The stay is okay. It is overpriced for next day booking for a stay. The bedding is great. They introduce a €5 deposit for a towel and it might create a trade for some. My wet towel was missing during my sleep, luckily the staff gave me another fresh towel otherwise I would lose my deposit and someone else might love my et towel smell and got €5 out of it

A Unique and Fun Hotel

My husband and I loved this hotel. He is 87 and I am 75 so it might seem like an unusual choice for us. The check-in desk is on the 3rd floor and there is no elevator. But we were game for the climb. My husband went up first and we received a great Portuguese welcome. Young adults came down and carried our bags upstairs to our room for us. They refused to accept any tip for the service. Instead, we were treated like respected grandparents/aunt and uncle. Our room was beautifully clean and had an amazing view of Porto from the Vila Nova de Gaia side of the Rio Douro. When we were getting ready to leave the next morning, the staff was a bit concerned that we had not ordered a custom breakfast from their menu, and instead chose sliced fruit and their wonderful brown bread with butter, and coffee. (We were having a traditional Portuguese lunch with our daughter and her husband in the early afternoon and you know what that means!) When it was time to leave the hotel, young people again carried our bags downstairs, and once again, refused a tip for their service. We highly recommend this hotel for those who love something fun and different and can manage a stair climb for a wonderful view of Porto.

Wonderful view over the Douro river. Central location for our port house wine touring. Made to order breakfast + additional buffet was satisfying. Bed was firm/hard, but this wasn’t a big issue for our one-night stay. We stayed in a private room - I believe this location has dorm/hostel rooms as well.

Clean and spacious hostel with great views

Beautiful place,perfectly situated. The staff are friendly and efficient. Breakfast is great (though the coffee included with breakfast isn't so good). My only suggestion would be to set the room temperature so guests can't tamper with it, one of the occupants cranked it up to sauna levels, which is neither customer nor eco-friendly. Otherwise, it was close to perfect and I'd stay again

The design of the room reflects the winery itself. There is plenty of place to store things. The good thing is there is a door separate the bedding area and bathrooms. There is 4 bathrooms to share in a 14-bed dorm and i never need to wait for a second to use it.

Chose to stay at Sandeman at end of my Camino. Probably one of the nicest places I stayed. The sleeping pods are brilliant- very comfortable bedding and a good size with high ceilings plus a light and plug. The pod itself is quite roomy.

The location is good across the river from Porto but access to the Metro is simple but does require an uphill climb!

The breakfast, welcome drinks, snacks and common area is brilliant.

Connected to a winery, this hostel is in a great location and is very atmospheric, simultaneously historic and modern. The beds were comfortable and clean, with a little more space between them than a typical hostel. During the day, the 2 private bathrooms were clean and dry. However, each time someone showered, water would overflow onto the bathroom floor and pool around the drain or the toilet. Then guests would enter the bathroom with shoes on, mixing dirt from their shoes with the pools of water, making muddy footprints, which is unappealing. The management should consider installing shower curtains or a 2 inch lip on the base of the shower to stop the overflow. Aside from that, loved this hostel and would highly recommend it.

From start to finish my solo stay in a mixed dorm was a fantastic experience. Staff were very helpful as I turned up, booked me onto a local boat tour and even gave me a travel sewing kit as my short’s button decided to detach as I got to the hostel.

Everything was super clean and the welcome drink was a nice touch, the bar/dining area has great views and the hostel is in a great location if you want to be in the thick of the bars/restaurants/port houses.

There is a cheap dinner they did for guests, I didn’t partake as I had plans but sounded like it would be good. Additionally, guests get cheaper tours of their port house. Again, I didn’t partake as I had plans but will be keeping this in mind for next time.

As you walk in the large mixed form using you key card to access, there are 4 modern and clean bathrooms. Towels are provided and just need to ask for fresh ones if you would like one. The bedroom itself have a series of high and low beds which are comfortable and have bedding with canopies on the side to give an element of privacy. There isn’t anyone sleeping directly above or below you. Each bed has a locker assigned which you set a code to lock, however, this may not be situated next to your bed depending on which one you are assigned.

Breakfast was decent, nothing cooked but I did see some people get omelettes so maybe this is an option. There was fruit, bread and preserves, you got a croissant with cheese & ham, yogurt with granola, cereal, coffee/tea

Great place - shame about the noise levels

Unfortunately for us the stay was spoilt by the very loud music and noise from outside. When we checked in the Lady on reception said the bars etc would close at 9pm. It was still going on at 1am. I can only suggest an investment in double or triple glazing.

Everything else was really good, our room and bed was comfortable and the bathroom clean and spacious.

The best hotel/hostel in Portugal

The House of Sandeman is by far the best hotel/hostel I've had the pleasure to stay. The staff constantly went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The facility and accommodations were modern, wonderful, human-scale, accessible, and beautifully styled. We slept great and woke up to an amazing view of the Douro River and picturesque Porto on the opposite bank. The front desk folks helped us get reservations for our tours, and the staff made fantastic dinner recommendations. We met great people at the morning breakfasts and evening meals. I can not recommend this place highly enough. We'll be going back.

The property is perfectly located for a great view and close to all the action. It was a bit noisy outside with people and loud cars and trucks but the atmosphere was fun!

The most aesthetically pleasing hostel stay.

Such great value for a beautiful location, and beautiful views from the commons area. I was in a mixed dorm, which was very comfortable, with a comfortable full sized mattress. The most comfortable hostel I’ve stayed in. 10 beds, and 4 bathrooms with showers. I just wish there were mats to dry the floors after people showered. I think a person with mobility problems would have a hard time due to the stairs. The lift going up the stair case, at the entrance wasn’t working. For me, it was a good leg workout.

Vintage stay goes well with vintage port wine

my first experience in a Hostel and it was excellent. Location was amazing, 100 yrd to the water taxi, 150 yds to the tram up to the bridge (easy walk over to historic district), many Restaurant and Port Cellars within walking distance. Our room was spacious and overlooking the Douro River (private bath). Service was very accommodating and helpful.

Had a small private room in what is mainly a Hostel...but this is not a typical Hostel - the whole thing is very well put together and run. Staff are in-tune with the whole ethos and this comes across with each and every one of them... super job all round.

Excellent and highly recommended.

Can’t fault the location, the hotel or the staff, they were all really excellent, and nothing too much trouble.
Only issue was car parking, which cost €17 a night in a public car park. Otherwise everything was just perfect

Boutique hostel with amazing staff

Best hostel experience I ever had. Rooms (already quite spacious) were half-booked, so you do not feel uncomfortable with the post-pandemic travelling circumstances. Location, the terrace out on the front with the amazing view, common indoor areas, etc. are all big pluses. The staff is extremely attentive and really make you feel welcome (Special thanks to Igor, Yujin & Martha!). Definitely coming back here for my next stay.

Beautiful, modern hotel in front of the Douro River. If you want to spend a bit more and treat yourself, get the river front suite; totally worth it. Breakfast is amazing as well. Great hotel.
