Dim room with not good facilities

We stayed for triple room and double bed room. The lights are very dim, it made me felt uncomfortable. The room and the washroom are old. I would rather pay a reasonable price for a better hostel. But if you have limited budget, this room is still okay for staying a few days.

WARNING. Horrific. Never stay here.

Horrific. Left early after first night for another hotel, due to how very poor the hotel was, in particular the fact that we felt we were in danger there. All lies in hotel description, eg \"24 hour front desk\" is false; in fact, told to leave lobby after 1:00am because apparently closing. NO connectable wifi in rooms when description mentions \"Free wifi in rooms\", and NO \"Coffee/Tea in the lobby\" available. Furthermore, locks almost insecure and almost non existent. Mouldy walls so thin as if not there and could hear every word from next door. Broken lamps on entering room. General dark lighting with sight difficulties. Only tiny window was present like in prison. Holes in bed sheets. Most critical problem-could not talk to receptionist because he was incapable of speaking English, but only Portuguese, despite Hotels.com representative attempting many different languages on night of arrival to discuss the issues. Money for all nights demanded in cash up front on check in; scam as this was not refundable despite early check out due to how horrific the whole experience was. Overall advice, never consider this place. All pictures shown are not truly representative. I generally like to approach matters in a civilised manner, however words of profanity would not suffice in the excruciating experience. Wholeheartedly recommend a third party to inspect on the hotel, imposing necessary actions to shut it down to prevent further prospective guests from such poor experience.

Cheap basic accommodation

Very basic hotel. Thre was a sink and a shower in the bedroom so it was good for the price. The atmosphere wasn't that great though. Missing plugs in the bedroom, there was just one for the TV.

Clean, good location, but WiFi unavaileble in room

Basic, but good hotel for short stay in the Porto. It wa all-you-need: bed (good quality), shared bathroom (not new furniture, but good condition). Also you can use fridge. Attention! Wi-Fi available close to Reception ONLY and you CANNOT use common area from 9PM till 9AM :( So during this time Wi-Fi de facto is unavailable. Kitchen is available, but ... microwave and kettle ... broken :((( Location GOOD, total furniture good, clean, but I don't understood WHY owner WANT made from this HOSTEL a good QUALITY EUROPEAN HOTEL?!

Nunca vá a esse Hostel.

Quarto era muito fechado e escuro, não tinha nenhuma vista, apenas uma janelinha pequena e alta, poucas tomadas, toalhas fornecidas pareciam panos de chão, eram cortadas ao meio e ásperas. Funcionário que nos recebeu final da tarde era antipático, mas o que ficava no turno da noite era estúpido, rude, grosso, mal humorado, gritou no meio da noite com clientes. Roubaram nosso carro a 50m do estacionamento.

la peor habitacion de mis viajes

Nos asignaron la peor habitación del hotel, ultima planta abuhardillada, parecido a un desván, con un ventanuco junto al techo, con grietas en las paredes, baño muy pequeño y ducha muy estrecha, sin enchufe, mal olor y el espejo a la altura de la cintura, con moho en el techo.
En honor a la verdad vi otra habitación que estaba bien.
La respuesta del responsable fue: que era low cost,. Tengo fotos pero prefiero no ponerlas

Hotel caindo aos pedaços, não há água quente

O quarto com aquecimento extremamamente fraco, sinal de Wifi ruim, como se não houvesse, na casa de banho faltava sempre o papel, a água não fica quente mais que 5 minutos ( difícil lavar os cabelos), há um rombo no teto do banheiro que dar para se ver o que há no andar a cima sendo possível levantar o teto com as mãos. O hotel está mesmo a cair aos pedaços, não deviam estar com as portas abertas, uma vez que não apresentam condições.

Ravis de notre séjour

Commandé par internet pour 4 personnes (2 chambres avec salle de bain), nous voulions profiter de notre séjour a Porto pour le découvrir
j ai donc commandé 2 chambres malgré qqs mauvais commentaires, je ne regrette rien ,nous avons étés accueillis, renseignés, et même guidés lorsque nous avons eu qqs déboires personnels.
Il ont acceptés 1 autre couple d amis venus nous rejoindre en camping car
Merci a ce petit gardien de nos nuits qui usait de sa serviabilité pour nous aider, même avec la barrière de la langue, et a son patron aussi, a qui il a dû demander qqs services a nous rendre
Ces 2 personnes ont fait en sorte que notre séjour chez eux soit de belle qualité pour un prix défiant toute concurrence; Si je retourne à Porto, ce qui n'est pas exclu c'est chez eux que je reviendrai

Gedeelde badkamer?

Toen wij zochten naar kamer met gedeelde badkamet + toilet had ons een lichtje op moeten gaan bij het lage bedrag: zowel de badkamer als toilet lagen namelijk op een andere verdieping! Niet handig bij toilet bezoek 's nachts!
Handdoeken worden niet regelmatig vevangen, maar navraag bij personeel levert wel snel fris materiaal op.
Schoonammk van de kamer vind niet dagelijks plaas en de badkamer en toilet zijn niet al te schoon.
Voor de prijs kun je misschien niet meer verwachten, maar wel goed om dit te realiseren

Hrůza

Jsme rádi, že jsme v tomto hotelu spali jen jednu noc. Byla to ale ta nejhorší noc, za celý náš dlouhý pobyt v Portugalsku. Dokud jsme nedošli na pokoj, všechno bez problémů. Na pokoji všechno takové ošuntělé, laciné, nevzhledné. Všude prach. Když jsem si sedla na postel, byl tam písek, to mě trochu vyděsilo. Další šok byl, když jsem zjistila, jak je na tom záchod a umyvadlo. Přes umyvadlo bylo těžké si sednout na záchod. Sprcha, ta jediná byla dobrá, v dobrém stavu. Po srovnání se se skutečností, že noc nebude pod nepříjemným materiálem přikrývek nic moc, jsme se chystali k ulehnutí. Místo toho se k nám ale začali dobývat kočky ze střechy, která byla pod okny. Kočky mi nevadí, ale když je znám a vím, odkud jsou. Nakonec, a to bylo nejhorší jsme oba s partnerem měli pocit, že nás něco štípe, leze po nás. Zřejmě to bylo z toho \"písku\", který jsme našli pod přehozem. Opravdu nepříjemná noc.

Cometaré algunos rasgos negativos:
Al hacer la reserva por internet, pedí - en inglés y en español- dos camas individuales, separadas. Me dieron una cama grande y ni se molestaron en responder a nuestra petición (porque ni la habrían leído). En cuanto al wifi, hay que ir a la sala común, porque en la habitación (al menos en la mía) la conexión no llega.Por otra parte, la tarjeta que sirve para abrir la puerta de la habitación estaba vieja y no funcionaba bien, así que en varias ocasiones tuvo que abrirnos el casero con su propia tarjeta.

En cuanto a la localización, el hostal está cerquita del centro y de las zonas de interés. Se puede caminar perfectamente así como coger el metro 24 de agosto. Ahora bien, por la noche las calles que rodean el hostal están llenas de prostitutas.

El servicio de lavandería quizá es algo caro, así que es preferible ir a la lavandería que está al lado del supermercado pingo 12, a 5 minutos del hostal.
