I loved this hostel. Honestly one of the best ones I've ever stayed in. Very elegant and modern. The breakfast is soooo yummy. The size of the room is great with a desk in the room. There's a cool game room and terrace and a full bar(even though I didn't use it). The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was great, walking distance to everything I wanted to see in Porto and plenty of restaurants.

A girl in my room got me sick (not the hostels fault).... if you are very sick(coughing/sneezing/blowing your nose) YOU NEED TO WEAR A MASK. Be considerate of other people.

Absolutely the nicest, cleanest and roomiest hostel I’ve ever stayed in my entire life! The entrance , lobby and breakfast area was like a hotel. There also was a small bar in the front, and a regular restaurant downstairs. There was always someone at front desk to answer questions and help . The breakfast buffet that was included offered unbelievable breakfast choices. Eggs, croissants ,bacon, oatmeal, cereals even a coffe machine that served lattes , cappuccinos , hot chocolate and regular coffee. Appreciated the water dispenser so could fill contigo. The 6person dorm room had huge storage closets that I could fit my carryon luggage . There were separate private toilets (3) and showers(3) for each 6person dorm. Within walking distance to a very fun area to have drinks and listen to music at.

This hostel offers great facilities. The breakfast is amazing! The rooms and bathrooms are clean and spacious. The staff are very kind and friendly who welcome you with a list of recommendations about Porto. The place looks new and stylish. They have a great bar where you get a discount. The hostel can be find in the city centre, you can explore Porto very conveniently if you stay here. The bus that goes to the airport stops almost in front of it. The hostel is really good value for money. We would truly recommend this place to anyone visiting Porto.

Everything was great. One thing I can mention here: it would be helpful to add a little shelf to the beds.

The hostel is located in a very quiet street. The reception staff is very kind and helpful. The hostel and the rooms are very clean and new. There is a good breakfast with a lot of options. There is a very nice terrace. Cool art galleries and good restaurants & bars in the neighbourhood. Thank you.

There is nothing I didn't like but perhaps, the visitors can be suggested to be quiet not to to wake up others many times during the night. During the evening hours check-in, It would also be very helpful to inform the visitors about the location of the plugs in each bed.

The Gallery Hostel is gorgeous 😍 Really good layout, good value & location, lots of facilities onsite like the terrace & well stocked kitchen, delicious & varied breakfast and everything is immaculately clean. Restaurant onsite is very good-good food and friendly, helpful staff. The cleaners do an amazing job changing linen and towels and cleaning rooms every day. Excellent storage and modern, clean bathrooms. The highlight has to be the staff however, they go out of their way to make you feel welcome & to meet your requests! Special shout out to Joy in the bar who makes a fab cocktail 🍸!

The breakfast spread was wonderful and extensive. The hostel is in a good location, close enough to the attractions but in a quiet and safe area. The room was spacious and the beds comfortable. I especially liked that there were 2 doors separating the lockers/bathroom from the room so that the sounds there would not affect the others so much. The lockers were code-operated so that meant not having to deal with coins or keys. The place was cleaned and maintained daily, and our beds were even made daily (unusual for a hostel but a pleasant surprise). The staff were helpful and the hostel had different activities for each day. WiFi was excellent.

The stairs - our room was 3 levels up and thankfully David helped me with my luggage while going up, but I had to carry it down. Oh and there are no hooks in the bathroom to hang our clothes so having some hooks would be great.

- very good breakfast buffet - spacious, clean, modern dorms - very nice staff - short work to the old part of the city, airport bus close - good wifi - they offer activities on certain days - good (quite hard) mattress, towel included

- metal bunk beds shake with every move you make or every step taken inside the room - it's just not for me. As I also had bad luck with extremely snoring and coughing in my dorm I would spend more money next time to have my private room to sleep and don't get sick - course Hostel has no influence on their guests being contagious or heavy snoring. - barely no vegan options, but there is oat milk and some fruits and oat for breakfast - the hostel feeling with people gathering in a living room/kitchen was missing for me

I needed a place to stay for one night and this place had good reviews. It honestly looks like a posh hotel! The front desk staff was so nice. Walked me up to the room. it has six bunkbeds, but only one person occupied the room, so a total of two of us. It is very clean and modern looking not your typical shared accommodation. I even had dinner with someone. I met in the lobby at the restaurant downstairs and it was very good food . I wish they had more properties like this throughout Europe. And bus stop to the airport is directly in front of the place.

I was on the fourth floor and did not have any luggage up for someone who does have luggage it may be a bit of a struggle since there is no lift.

I can confidently say that this is the best hostel I have ever stayed in. It all starts at the reception, where Lukas (if I remember his name correctly) provided detailed recommendations about the city and gave me a thorough tour of the hostel—a rare and thoughtful touch for hostels. Keep up the great work! The hostel itself is incredibly modern, beautifully designed, and impeccably clean. I especially loved the layout of the bedroom, where the bathroom is cleverly separated from the rest of the room to avoid disturbing roommates—a brilliant idea! And, of course, the breakfast was absolutely delicious.

It would be perfect if the beds had curtains to provide more privacy. Additionally, a small shelf in the shower would be a great addition, giving guests a convenient spot to place their clothes while showering.
