I like absolutely everything in the service provided by Des Arts. - Location: perfect place in the heart of Amarante, the river is close, where you can see nany fishes, hear birds singing and feel the nature. - Staff: sweet and kind people, the best part of the staying. You guys are doing a great job!! - Beds: comfortable and clean . - Rooms: medium size, clean good ventilation
- Some guests... Although they're also guests, some people are staying in Des Arts for long since they're working in Amarante... I think some guests could be a bit aware that they should not bring their bad manners from home to a shared space dedicated for rest and leisure of others.

Very large kitchen with six hobs,microwave,two ovens,toaster,large fridge and kettle. You can sit in bar area. Comfortable mattresses.You can walk down river on both sides.Quiet location. Shower was like standing in a warm waterfall.Only ten minute walk from bus station.
Dorms are very basic and you feel like you are in a garage with no soundproofing from any noise echoing down the corridor.. I had to use an additional quilt from an empty bed as too thin for the time of year. Hostel breakfast very basic.

Lovely place, right next to the river! Staff are very friendly, kitchen is lovely. Would recommend for the price and location.
The light in the bathroom stayed on for like a minute not great when showering had to keep waving my arm out the shower to turn the light back on. Breakfast was terrible- ham/cheese and bread but the bread had run out 2 out of 3 times I got there.

The room, location and breakfast were all excellent
An overhead light on both sides of the room would have been perfect because my side of the room did not have one. And the timers for the lights in the bathroom need to be longer so you're not constantly waving your hands when you need to be in there for more than 30 seconds.

Comfort, location is beautiful! Community kitchen for preparing your own food. The staff are super helpful.
We stayed in May and my son and I are hot sleepers. But the AC is not functional until summer months. We slept with the balcony door open and it was completely comfortable. Not a deal breaker for us.

Such a pretty hostel and building. We booked very last minute & so satisfied. From the outside it’s beautiful, right next to the river & main part of town. Very nice bedroom and interior decor, BEAUTIFUL outdoor seating area in the cafe/bar and the shared kitchen downstairs is insane! So spacious and pretty. Staff are so friendly too. We really loved our stay it exceeded our expectations of a hostel!
The shared garden doesn’t seem to get much use but maybe that’s caus the cafe/bar is so nice

Great location, huge kitchen and living area, nice terrace and comfortable bed. I paid a good price for my stay and it included a small free breakfast. Great showers.
I didn't get wifi reception from my room. Also, you can hear pretty much everything because there are no real walls or doors, is all divided by wooden material. The rest is all good!

Great location. We were in the bunkhouse which was lovely and new although it smelled a little of fresh paint or varnish. It was spotless and the bedding was great. The communal showers and kitchen were also great. The balcony bar was lovely.
Nothing really!!

The hostel is wonderful: beautiful interior, interesting trinkets, spacious room, excellent kitchen.
I stayed for one night from Friday to Saturday, and maybe that contributed to the fact that I slept only about 2 hours. First of all, there is a nightclub a few meters away the very-very loud electronic music didn't stop until around 4 in the morning. Drunken men started making noise, and finally, at 6 in the morning, a small child was sobbing terribly in the next room.

I liked the cleanliness, the fabulous staff, a great lounge and bar area with adjacent patio. The patio has a great view of the Rio Tâmega. Location is well-suited to the city and excellent restaurants. The hostel has an excellent fully-equipped and modern kitchen.
It can be a bit noisy. it’s a concrete structure and without carpeting, sound resonates easily. This was not a major issue though.
