It was very cosy, and makes you feel at home. The outdoor garden, the bedroom was comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need. There are enough bathrooms / shower so you don’t have to wait. Everyone there is friendly and happy to help you. Next door is a very nice cafe.

It was on a quiet road during the day, but at night it got super loud so had to close the windows and it got a bit hot. There’s no air con. Sometimes the shower didn’t have hot water. There was no lock on the girls bedroom which was uncomfy at first but I got used to it.

I liked the atmosphere and personal. Very cosy design, home-feeling beautiful kitchen and garden. Nice clean bedclothes and towel included to the prices. The receptionists are the most helpful friendly people. Such a treasure to find place like that for that price

My bed was one out of four in female dorm. 3 of them looked comfortable, had the curtains. Mine was without fool curtain, less privacy. A bit strange.

I had an excellent experience at this hostel, starting from the very beginning. Even though I arrived around 11 PM, the staff made it easy to find my way and check in smoothly. The atmosphere is amazing – the place smells fresh and clean, which immediately made me feel at home. The design is unique, blending a modern jungle vibe with cozy, antique decor that adds charm and character. Whether you’re here for work or relaxation, it’s the perfect spot for both. I extended my stay for an additional night, and paying directly was hassle-free, with the same price as listed on Booking.com. Overall, I highly recommend this hostel for its welcoming environment and thoughtful details.

The hostel has very nice common spaces and in every place there are some flowers, greenery and a nice accent that has a very good effect on your well-being.The staff was very helpful, you can see that they are well-coordinated. Everyone was very nice and ready to help with any matter or problem. They spoke many languages ​​so there was no problem communicating in English, Spanish, Portuguese or Arabic. And I suspect that they know more languages. I felt at home there. The outside part was decorated with flowers and was very nice, there was a huge kitchen in which you could fit a few people cooking. Comfortable sofas, TV and everything you need. Close to the metro and bus. Even Bolt to the center or anywhere very cheap 3-3.50 Euro. Honestly, I have never met such a hostel. It really has a soul and its name fits the facility perfectly, because it is an enclave of greenery, peace and a good vibe in the middle of the city. I highly recommend it.

It was my first time in Porto and I would absolutely recommend this adorable and clean hostel to solo travelers, couples and small family groups! The location is exceptional, amazing coffee shop across the street, Mini Prego two minutes walk away for groceries and delicious pastries. If you’re traveling on a budget and like fresh food, good wine, great coffee and a fantastic little home away from home, this is the place to be. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the folks staying at the hostel are exactly the peeps you’d expect to encounter. 10 out of 10!

Staff was incredible. Rafael was the one that I was more in contact. He was super friendly, giving recommendations about the city and forgiving me for calling him another name. 😂 The other staff are super good people too and the hostel has a easy and comfortable environment.

I just had a problem when I arrived, which was the lack of communication in how to reach the staff when I arrived. I tried calling several times through the number available on Booking.com an ringing the bell beside the door but nothing was working. So, I had to be knocking on the door for a while until someone picked it up. Later on, the bell was fixed.

We were greeted with a warm welcome, given a lovely tour of the whole building & settled into our private room. Each member of staff were very helpful, they kept the place so clean & were great with any queries on local info. We met so many lovely travellers & had great conversations with them & staff. Loved sitting on the 1st floor landing at the window, felt like I was in a garden but inside. Beautiful green space. The outside garden was also a great place to chill, eat, drink & chat.

The only thing that slightly disappointed was the oven didn't work & we'd bought pizza on the 1st night. However the staff were fantastic on working out alternative cooking ways & we had a tasty pizza that tasted like it had been in an oven! Also no air conditioning but I didn't mind too much as we had 2 windows blowing a nice breeze in our room at night.

Friendly, helpful staff! I could get my bed as soon as cleaning was ready even before check-in time. Bed was comfortable, had curtains to close for little privacy. Bathroom was clean and felt like an oasis after traveling long. Kitchen had everything needed. Common areas and interior is nice, few small “corners” and bigger spot with sofa to hang out and nice looking terrace. I stayed only one day when it was raining so didn’t actually use it. Would recommend!

The dormitory I was in was facing the street and the the traffic noise was present.

Extremely beautiful location, great garden. Newer saw a terrace in a dormitory room in a hostel! Private bathroom, which was clean and spacious. Light source above the bed and curtains.

On the last day of my stay, the water was turned off, and I was very disappointed that I would not be able to take a shower before the long journey back. But it’s not the hostel’s fault; the water was turned off throughout the entire street. The staff personally warned each guest about the problem and even sent out a newsletter on Booking.com :) The location is quite far from the center, it could be done by foot, but even after 21:00 it was a bit scary to walk alone on empty streets in that area.

Friendly staff- they operate more like a family. Clean. Lots of bathrooms. Bathrooms had storage areas in them, so they weren't cluttered. Spaces to hang towels to dry. Towels provided within the price. The design is like a home with lots of communal areas which are well maintained. Walking distance to the metro. Comfortable beds Privacy curtains around beds. In my room of 4, there was a balcony area. Loved the decoration. Well equipped kitchen.

I wish there were more group activities suggested so it'd be easier to meet other travellers. The 4 bed dorm is very small, but luckily there's a wardrobe to keep bags out of the way.
