This place is outstanding. I have stayed in many hostels worldwide over thirty years; I stopped counting at one thousand, and this place ranks very high. The reception/kitchen/living/dining common area is massive, comfortable and welcoming, and with a small balcony that overlooks the river and the Ribera riverbank. Breakfast is great, a massive buffet that will set you up for the day. I stayed in the mixed gender 7-bed dorm (I understand that there is a female-only dorm); a very large room with bed-pods shaped like port-barrels: the privacy screens make you feel like you’re in a capsule hotel, but with more space and light. The two bathrooms attached have rainforest showers, and there is a simple combo-lock locker for valuables, though given the security (one card for the external door to the hostel, the inner door to the dorms, and the dorm itself) I never felt like I had to lock everything away. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and accommodating, and there is a wine-cellar tour (that I have yet to undertake) with a concession price for guests. The hostel is very central, easy to find and to get to, and I would not hesitate to recommend this awesome place without reservation. Though, as it is justifiably very busy, I’d make a reservation ?

Selina Porto

Selina Porto is located at the center of the city, steps away from restaurants, cafés, beautiful and quirky houses, and at walking distance from Ribeira and most of the city’s points of interest. Enjoy the Selina community in the heart of all the action!

Definitely not for 'mature' vacationers!

If you value peace & quiet and privacy, this is not the place for you. The floor-to-ceiling windowed rooms, around the open air common area, are like a fish bowl. Anyone can look into your room while you're out as the curtain doesn't cover the door way. DJ sets, rubbish live music, and loud remote workers/drunk guests in the common areas made it impossible to relax or sleep. Plus, the room I booked online was no longer available when we arrived (for reasons that didn't make sense). My bad for not realizing that Selina hotels are really for Gen Z kids living their best lives, and not Gen X folks who work their tails off to afford a few days away from the daily grind.

Bedbugs - AVOID!

Reviewed By GalwayLad123

Stayed in Oct 2021. During our stay, we got bedbug bites. At first we put it down to possible mosquito bites (unlikely in October) however most of our time in Porto we were wearing long pants / jackets so no skin exposure. After check-out we visited a Doctor whom confirmed bedbug bites. What was really disappointing is that before our check-in, we e-mailed a few questions to the hostel and they replied within hours. Yet, 3 e-mails later regarding the bedbug issue and total silence.... shows the place for what it is. It's a pitty as the staff we met were very friendly, however the management is clearly letting this place down. I hate putting business down, but I strongly recommend staying somewhere else.

Trendy cozy place whit the nicest staff

Reviewed By marielouiselyster

Supernova is an amazing trendy but still cozy place. The people working there are incredibly kind and helpful. Nice common room where you really want to hang around. Spacey, fun decor. Well equipped kitchen, so you easily could cook your own dinner. We ordered food at Supernovas little café, which offers good low key food. There is a nice back yard with a terrace - we stayed there in late October, but I imagine that in summer, the terrace must be buzzing. Absolutely loved staying at Supernova!

Amazing Staff

Reviewed By AonHoliday

My partner and I want to give a shoutout to Pedro, one of the staff members here. He provided us with amazing service, responding to multiple emails prior to our visit as we tried to coordinate receiving tickets for a soccer match in the mail. When we arrived, he gave us excellent recommendations on foods and drinks to try while in Porto and suggestions for how best to get around the city. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay in Porto. The private suite we stayed in was very clean and spacious and conveniently located for many different activities. We would definitely stay here again!

The White Box Boutique House

The White Box House is a typical Oporto house dating from the beginning of the 20th century, which has been refurbished and modernised for fitting general standards of comfort without losing the charm of a period building. The White Box House is situated in the centre, on its best known pedestrian shopping street, where one can find the emblematic Cafe Majestic and which has easy access to the underground railway (2 minute walk), railways and buses. It is the ideal starting point to explore the city during the day and its busy nightlife in the evening as it is located near the main tourist attractions.
