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!

It was an amazing stay, the room, wc&bathroom, everyday cleaning and making the beds, the breakfast 🫠❤️ Even the last day, due to early check out I was going to miss the breakfast. However they gave me a paper bag full of cake, sandwich, fruit salad, juice, water, granola bar 🙌🏻 and they offered me to-go coffee too. Never stay in a hostel like this 🎉

The owner, Fatima, was really kind and answered all of our questions. The facilities were very clean, the hostel has a big shared kitchen, bathroom, living room and even washing machine. It has 3 bedrooms. The location is great and so is the price. :) Thank you again.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

This place was the best hostel for the same price i paid in other cities. I have been to 5 hostels during this trip in Spain and Portugal. Team is great. Unfortunatelly i didn't ask the name of the gentlemen at the reception but he is very accommodative and valuable Sandeman teammember. All speak English very well which makes communication simple and clear. Very picturesque view from dining room window and atmosphere is relaxing and calming. They have welcome drink, also tea time for free. Breakfast is great!

This is the best hostel i have been to. And i have done two interrail trips around Europe, probably visiting at least 30+ hostels. The location is wonderful, everybody in the staff is super nice, they have all the things you need at a good backpacker hostel, great breakfast and great dinners at affordable prices.

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.
