I enjoyed the luggage lockers that were very large and conveniently opened with the key card. I liked the insuite bathrooms; things felt private. I thought the beds were comfortable although the bottom bunk did have a bit of a low roof. The rooftop bar is nice and the dinners are cheap. Overall great experience.

Amazing hostel

Fairly priced hostel with a great location. The facilities were nice with kitchen, rooftop bar and working space. The staff were friendly and ready to help me with whatever needs I had. Free walking tours were provided from the hostel. Rooms were clean, spacious and the beds were comfortable. Bathrooms were modern and clean which I loved. I had to pay extra for the breakfast but it was good and fulfilling for the price. Would definitely come back again.

가성비 최강 고양이 호스텔

시설도 나쁘지 않고 위치상으로 상 벤투역에서 걸어서 2분거리라서 꽤 괜찮습니다. 이정도 가격에 이정도 시설이면 가성비 값합니다. 다만 호스텔에서 볼 수 있는 뷰가 좋지는 않습니다. 뷰를 따지신다면 강가 근처 숙박시설을 잡으세요~

施設はとても清潔で居心地が良かった。スタッフも親切で丁寧。また立地もサンベント駅から徒歩圏内で、部屋にもよるがベランダからはカデドラルが見えてロケーションがいい。朝ごはんもおいしく、曜日にもよるがバーで飲み物を1杯頼めば夜ご飯も無料で付いてくる。ポルトに行ったらまた泊まりたい。

駅から近く、どこに行くにも便利なロケーションでした。キッチンも綺麗で自炊もできる点が良かった。値段の割に綺麗なホテルだと思いました。ただ、ホステル周辺が夜になると人影も少なく、少し怖いなぁと思ったので、夜にホステル周辺を出歩くのは注意が必要だと思いました。

Look like good but not good in real

I stayed in a double room with my wife for three days. The facilities looked like good, but in order to use hot water in the morning, we had to pour cold water for 5 minutes and there was a power outage every so often, so we had to use a cell phone flash in the shower. Also, the cleaning status was not very good. The dust on the wall was not cleaned, and my girlfriend, who had a bad bronchus, had to use a bed next to the window because of dust on wall. The staff was not interested in the guests and was not friendly. Good point is only location!!

샤워실은 정말 더럽지만 위치상 좋음

와 나 그런 샤워실 처음 봄... 곰팡이 펴있고 해바라기도 먼지, 곰팡이....사진 찍으려다가 참았는데 진짜 샤워실은 너무 최악 그리고 사진엔 가림막 있어서 갔는데 막상 가니 떼어놨더군요...가림막이 있어야 좀 안정감이 있는데ㅠㅠ 자는건 문제 안되는데 방이 습한지 빨래를 해도 이틀이 되어도 좀 젖어있음..ㅠㅠ 반면 이동할 땐 정말 편해서 좋지만 전 다음에 간다면 다른 곳으로... 그래도 한국인들 정말 많이 봤는 호스텔ㅋㅋ샤워실 깨끗하게 해야할 듯.. 샤워실 크게 신경 안 쓴다면 괜찮..지만 전 샤워실 중요하게 생각해서 최악ㅠㅠ 씻는 내내 더러워서ㅠㅠ그래도 위치상 좋음

이 가격에, 이 위치에, 혜자임

우선, 이 가격에 시설이면 나쁘지 않습니다. 8인실과 10인실 둘다 써봤는데 아무래도 8인실이 더 낫고, 2층 침대인데 배드에 누워서 움직일때마다 삐걱거리는 소리가 없어서 다른 사람 신경쓰이지 않고 괜찮습니다. 청결적인 면에서 이 가격에 배드와 침구류면 좋은 편입니다. 얼룩 없이 깨끗하고, 냄새도 안 났던 것 같아요. 살짝쿵 나는 이불도 있었지만 드물 것 같고, 샤워실과 화장실의 청결도는 샤워기(위에서 내려오는 고정형, 노줄형)가 고정형은 역시나 곰팡이가 끼여있습니다. 노줄형도 함께 있기 때문에 크게 신경쓰이는 부분은 아니었고, 변기 물도 쎄게 잘 내려가고 청결하게 청소하는 것 같습니다. 그리고 전 배낭여행자라 숙소를 선택하는 기준이 가격적인 면과 공용 키친입니다. 아무래도 남는건 시간에.. 부족한 건 돈이기 때문에 점심 정도는 현지 음식을 경험해야하니 사먹고, 저녁은 직접 장 봐서 만들어 먹습니다. 포르투갈 현지 물가를 생각하면 닭 한마리가 1.5~2.9유로 정도 하는데 그거 하나 사다가 삼계탕 해먹거나 간장찜닭 해먹으면 두끼는 충분히 나오기 때문에 식비 줄이는데 큰 도움이 됩니다. 소고기도 물론 겁나 싸고, 스테이크 해먹기 지겨워서 소고기도 집어치웠네요. 아무튼 위치도 루이스 다리까지 3-4분 걸으면 바로 2층으로 닿을 수 잇고 수도원, 와이너리 거리, 대성당 등 둘러보기 좋습니다. 물론 어디든 포르투는 언덕이 심하기에 다 둘러보고 숙소로 오는 그 존나 높은 계단은 숨이 차지만 숨차도 옆에 돌아보면 경관 좋고.. 다닐만 합니다. 숙소위에 자리한 인도 식품점에서 주로 장봐서 해 먹었는데 편합니다. 다른 숙소도 다 알아봤는데, 위치적으로 좋고 공용 키친 제공하는 호스텔 찾기가 힘드네요. 조식도 먹을 만 합니다. 계란 후라이도 직접 해먹을 수 있게 해놨어요. 전 귀찮아서 손도 안댐

The reception sraffs are so rude.No smile,even seems a bit angry,especially a girl who wear a glasses is so bad. フロントスタッフはすごく感じが悪いです。 なんで高評価か不明。 10人部屋に泊まりましたが、カーテン等がないので、隣のベッドと近くて不快でした。 布団はダニがいるのか、ちょっと痒くなりました。 すごくいびきがうるさい人がいて、あまり眠れませんでした。 場所はいいので、一泊寝るだけならいいけど、2泊以上なら別の宿がいいかも。
