4 person dormitory was very nice with a kitchen, bathroom, living room, and dining area with a great view. Very comfortable living space and room was cleaned everyday. Close to a lot of wine tasting and river.

Location is nice and quiet but across the river so it’s a decent travel to see anything. But a short walk to the river where there was a lot of stuff happening.

I loved everything about this hostel. Top location (right next to Cais de Gaia), super friendly hosts (Dina and Eduarda were helpful and gave me amazing tips on what to visit in Gaia and Porto), the dormitory was warm and very clean, the pressure of the showers was great. The vibe is a thing, you meet super cool people. I truly loved the experience.

Nothing. Everything was exactly as described.

The manager of the hostel is exceptional! She is kind, responsive, and incredibly helpful. She made my hostel stay easy and wonderful. Additionally, she was incredibly knowledgeable about the Porto area and the activities available for travelers. I highly recommend booking a stay at the Duoro Surf Hostel and then booking surf classes and wine tastings through their hostel as well. The manager and her partners (the instructors and guides) made my stay truly unforgettable. Thank you so much!

Everything was exceptional and I have no concerns regarding my booking.

The dorms are cozy, only 4 beds in, have a bathroom, and a kitchen. There is a sitting area and a table with chairs to eat. Beautiful view. Near the river, walk distance to everything. The host is very friendly and helpful.

I have no problem check in and out. It’s clean, the bed is comfortable. The location is close to metro also walkable to Porto and in a quiet place which is good for me.

The fridge is not work. Otherwise everything is fine.

Everything was Ok. Its close to the bridge, so you can walk anywhere. Its also a quite neighborhood. And the host was very friendly and helpful.

Everything was ok. It seems to be a small room, but it even has a small living room, a kitchen!

Excellent - very centrally located, on a fairly quiet street [a little traffic noise at times, but OK]. Beds were comfy and showers were good too. Location for a visit to Porto is excellent. Staff [Eduoarda] was nice, welcoming and friendly.

Reception closes around 7pm I believe. Which is fine, but for a new visitor who has questions for staff etc. then maybe somewhere with 24 hr reception is more suitable.
