Really nice and beautiful place in the very heart of Porto.
Staff accogliente e struttura centralissima vicino alla metro
Stanza un po’ caldina
很棒的早餐,距離主教堂跟地鐵站很近
樓下的街道晚上還是會有人聲,非常吵雜
Tout est bien organisé.
Rien.
Vicinissimo alla metro. Lo staff molto gentile, cortese, disponibile.
La stanza un po' piccola, ma accogliente. Purtroppo senza tendine!!
El desayuno muy justo. No hay ascensor y un tercero son muchas escaleras
El edificio en sí y las habitaciones son preciosas, buen mantenimiento. El personal muy amable y siempre dispuesto a ayudar
Por un lado el ruido nocturno que hay en esa zona y al hacer calor teníamos que mantener las ventanas abiertas y por otro lado el desayuno no era gran cosa,panecillos congelados que los tuestas ( cosa q está ok) pero luego no había más que mermelada o quedó ( o nocilla) pero ningún embutido
- freundliches Personal - sehr sauberes Badezimmer
Frühstück vergleichsweise schlicht gehalten, aber voll ausreichend.
O Best Guest é, definitivamente, o hostel que veio para ficar na zona da Baixa do Porto. À excelente localização, junta o profissionalismo, a atenção, a higiene e todo o resto. Excelente breakfast as well. Excelente Equipa também, da qual fazem parte André, Diogo e Matilde. Excellent team! Saudades do Porto e de vocês!
o pouco tempo que fiquei
Location and I had 4 bed room which was good although one person was snoring
Clean and friendly staff
Tutto molto pulito e ben organizzato

İlk defa bir hostelde kalıyorum. Hostellere ön yargısı olanlar için şunu söyleyebilirim ki kaldığım bu yer daha önce gördüğüm bir çok iki yıldızlı, üç yıldızlı otelden daha iyi konumda. Tesis gezginler için güvenle konaklayabilecekleri, her tarafa yakın bir konumda bulunuyor. Çalışanlarının arkadaş canlılığı, yardımsever olmaları tesisi daha kıymetli kılıyor. İlk defa yurt dışına ve tek başına çıkan biri olarak şunu söyleyebilirim ki şayet Porto’ya gelmeyi düşünürseniz tereddütsüz bu hostelde kalabilirsiniz.
Locatiom,.only 4 beda in the rpom.and provate bathroom for the dorm
The noise on the street
la centralità e la cordialità del personale
Központi elhelyezkedés, tisztaság, kedves és segítőkész recepciós
Olcsó, de szerény reggeli
Super friendly staff and central location! First time staying in a hostel and definitely will do it again.
Although location is close everwhere esp for Porto Cathedral, it comes with its own problem, constant road noise so make sure to bring earplugs or ANC headset.
Very clean and staff helpful
A lot of noise from the street due to the central location
Gostei muito que é bem localizado e que tem casa de banho no quarto
Central rent
Centralt
位置到哪都方便,乾淨,床舒服
位置在大馬路邊~~太吵了 樓梯~~由其住3樓=4樓🤪
Konumu harikaydı. Her yere yürüyerek gidilebilecek mesafedeydi. Odalar oldukça konforlu. Resepsiyondaki Matilda çok nazikti. İlk defa Porto'ya geldiğimi söyleyince bana güzel önerilerde bulundu.
En azından el havlusunun ekstra olmaması gerektiğini düşünüyorum. Konumu ana cadde üzerinde olduğu için geceleri biraz ses olabiliyor ama çok normal.
Le personnel La localisation Confort des lits
Il faisait au 4ieme étage sans climatisation mais avions un ventilateur
La situació, està molt ben ubicat. I l'habitació i el bany estan bé, són correctes.
L'esmorzar, només hi havia pa amb mantega i melmelada i cereals, poc més. Una mica d'embotit i fruita no estaria de més.
The room I had was hot and the night was loud. It was right on the side that faced the road. So the night was very loud. I can’t wear ear plugs but that may have helped someone. It was also hot so not the best sleep I’ve had. But for what I paid that’s understandable.

La ubicación es súper buena.
En la habitación, si la persona de arriba del camarote se movía al dormir se movía ambas camas, creo que deberían de cambiarlas se siente todo.
In the heart of old town Porto - a wonderful welcome to Portugal and the start of my Camino - a room with 3 other ladies with our shared bathroom - it was car noisy at night but it didn't matter - it matched my excitement for the beginning of the Camino - absolutely central - enjoyed walking to the river and people watching while having a salad and drink (port of course!!) very close to cathedral and pilgrims office - excellent location
Pieno centro
Il traffico e rumori tutta la notte.
La posizione centrale
Zona abbastanza rumorosa

Le personnel est accueillant et souriant.
L hôtel est très bruyant, à la fois par rapport à la rue mais aussi les personnes qui parlent fort en pleine nuit dans les couloirs. Il manque de quoi poser les valises.
Sehr freundliches Personal
Es war alles passend
Wonderful staff and location. My room was four flights up and difficult to bring my bag up.
Tolle Lage
4.Stock ohne Lift ist sportlich
La situation géographique est vraiment parfaite pour visiter. L'accueil et la gentillesse des hôtes. Les chambres et lits sont propres. (Possibilité de prendre un bus pour aller à la plage !)
La chambre donnait sur une route très passante et donc il y avait beaucoup de bruit. (voiture, bus ....) Dommage que la cuisine n'avait pas de fenêtre.
El personal y la ubicación
Falta fruta en el desayuno.
Great central location, close to cathedral
Very noisy. The window couldn't fully close and it seemed/ sounded like there was no sufficient insulation. Bring earplugs!
Friendly greeting at front desk. Good breakfast. Close to cathedral & bus station
The noise at night from street below.
Te veel lawaai van straat
Très bien, confortable, agréable et propre
Pour le coup il y avait des personnes plus jeunes à notre étage eeeeextremement bruyante qui claquaient les portes et laissaient leurs sous vêtements sales dans les salles de bain communes.. mais ce n’est pas la faute du personnel du tout. On avait des boules quies c’était ok.
Location
No adequate ventilation, 1 lousy fan that just moved hot air around. Bathrooms were below average in cleanliness
Es un lugar bien ubicado y un espacio funcional. Una cocina amplia con todo lo necesario. La atención de Beatriz fue genial. Una persona amable y muy profesional.
Había solo un baño para 6 camas. Hubo una trabajadora para el check out qué fue realmente desagradable.
Great staff and all female roommates.
Would have liked to have curtains to draw on bed.
Perfect location🤍
Lack of lift.... When you have quite heavy luggage it is a problem...
Staff molto cortese e accogliente, posizione ottima, stanze pulite e ben organizzate :)
Se proprio devo dire qualcosa, per il prezzo potrebbero fornire anche gli asciugamani
La ubicación.
Que tenía una habitación para mujeres y tenía un hombre. Me dijeron que había hecho el check in antes!!
The location was very nice and the room very clean! the mattress super comfortable, i wasnt excepting this kind of quality honestly, the common spaces were also very nice, i'd just add some more tables in the lobby area to make it more cozy
i'm a heavy sleeper so i didnt have any issues but the noises from the street could be a bit too much for some more light sleeper, particularly if you are in a room with a balcony
The location
The room was in front of the Main Street so it was really noisy during the night, also there was no air conditioning.
Pas trop loin du métro.
La chambre était vraiment sale. Les wc n’étaient pas nettoyés et les draps étaient douteux. Lors de la réservation, il était indiqué que le paiement se ferait sur place, à notre arrivée mais il n’était pas indiqué que nous devrions payer en espèces uniquement. Aussi notre chambre était juste au dessus d’une fête donc extrêmement bruyante.
Très bon emplacement, en plein centre!
Me gusto que el baño estaba dentro de la habitacion y se comparte entre las personas de ahi
se podría ver una manera de tener mas privacidad en las literas
Ubicación Aseo Comodidad
Ubicación excelente , buen ambiente y la recepcionista super amable
A lo mejor el ruido en las noches , pero nada del otro mundo ,a demás lo normal para estar ubicado en el centro de la ciudad .
Very close to the city center , nice breakfast and lovely staff 👌
Very noisy ..I couldn't sleep at all for the whole night
Everything. It was easy to find and extremely well located in the centre, the staff were excellent and very helpful, the room was spotlessly clean, and the mattress was fabulously comfortable. How often can you say all of that about a hostel? I will absolutely be recommending this place.
I can't think of anything. Even my roommates were lovely.
Emplacement parfait pour débuter le Camino Portugais et visiter Porto.
3ème étage sans ascenseur.
Café da manhã
Tutto pulito ed ordinato
Abbastanza
Le scale 3 piani
Posizione perfetta per visitare la città
Pulizia pessima, lenzuola e asciugamani sporchi. Letto scomodo e colazione praticamente inesistente. Prezzo forse giustificato solo dalla posizione.
Buon ostello.piuttosto centrale e comunque vicino alla metro.camere ampie.ho apprezzato che ci fossero solo 2 letti a castello e che non fosse misto.bagno grande.colazione discreta
Faceva piuttosto caldo la notte e con le finestre aperte si sentiva molto rumore proveniente dalla strada
Ostello a mio parere carino e funzionale. Eravamo in 4 e attraverso la chat di booking abbiamo chiesto al personale se potevamo stare tutti insieme: hanno accontentato la nostra richiesta! È un ostello in pieno centro turistico per cui la sera si sentivano suoni e le voci della gente ma è qualcosa su cui l'ostello non può farci molto! A me è piaciuto molto: colazione tra l'altro base ma varia ma comunque buona, ho mangiato con gusto! Ho apprezzato tanto le bevande vegetali che, da vegana, non sempre trovo! Lo consiglierei!!!!!
Una mia amica ha trovato un capello nel suo letto: magari fare un pochino in più di attenzione a quello o a macchie sulle lenzuola ma devo dire che siamo persone che si adattano molto e non è stato così tanto grave. Avevamo pur sempre concluso il cammino di Santiago, per cui, eravamo già in modalità avventura :)
The location and the staff were really good, breakfast was basic, but enough if you eat bread, oats, coffee in the morning. There is a good kitchen if want to cook you own meal.
Breakfast can be improved.
The bed was comfortable and the room was really clean. The shower worked well. Each bed has a power outlet and reading lights. Each guest gets a locker as well. The hostel is very close to São Bento station.
Breakfast was below average, I would say. The room had no air conditioning and can get quite warm during summer. As the hostel is located in a busy area, opening the windows means noise during the night. Basically, you pay for the location, and this is not that cheap.
Location
Breakfast
Дуже зручне місцерозташування, все близько, як і пам'ятки так і вокзал. Персонал дуже привітний, все що необхідно було доступне, на кухні є все необхідне для того щоб приготувати чи розігріти поїсти.
La posizione centrale e la vicinanza con la stazione di Porto Sao Bento. L’accoglienza del personale, attento e paziente. Le postazioni letto avevano tutti i comfort, la presa vicina, un punto luce indipendente e persino un porta smartphone. Bagno spazioso.
Alcuni oggetti nella stanza, come il ventilatore e le superfici dei mobili, non erano puliti con cura.
El trato del personal muy educado ,las instalaciones limpias y bien ubicado .muy bonito lugar para hospedarse.
Todo estuvo muy bien..
Accoglienza, posizione e pulizia e bagno privato in camera condivisa con tre ragazze top!
La cucina al piano seminterrato, ma capisco che così in centro difficile avere tanto spazio e alla fine meglio sacrificare la cucina che delle camere o il salotto
Muy centrico para todo,genial para el peregrino
Personal sehr nett! Dusche und WC getrennt. Frühstück gut
Zimmer sehr klein und sehr hellhörig bzw. Abends von draußen sehr laut. Keine Klimaanlage. Bezahlung nur in bar!
Ottima posizione Pulito e confortevole
Niente
El personal, la ubicación y el locker que funciona con la llave
No ha aire acondicionado y, en las habitaciones de 4, el baño está dentro de la habitación por lo que las mañanas vas a tener que esperar para poder asearte.
주방이 잘 갖춰져있어서 좋았다. 직원들이 매우 친절하고 가격도 가성비가 좋다.
높은 층에 배정을 받으면 계단을 오르락 내리락 하다가 힘들어서 쓰러질 수도 있음
La recepcionista llamada Matilde es muy amable y siempre quiere ayudar al cliente en cuanto a las necesidades, sugerencias, la verdad que ella es maravillosa y no puedo decir de los demás ya que las demás personas que trabajan allí no ayudan ni sabían, para estar en un Hostel de turismo.
Como hostel y ubicación muy bueno, el desayuno muy incompleto es mejor optar desayunar afuera del Hostel.
La ubicación es genial esta cerca de todo
I was expecting a bit more. Only bread, cheese, and cereal
This has been my place to stay for the past two years. André, Diego, and the whole team are fantastic, nothing to complain about.
Breakfast used to be €2, now it's €3, without any added value. Same breakfast, same food, same location 😅Thank you for adding something less, it won't cost you much.
Cozinha boa. Internet boa.
Local barulhento. Quartos abafados. Sem ar condicionado tem de abrir as janelas, então o barulho da rua é grande.
位置離花街非常近,走去主教教堂也不遠。
因為在鬧區,所以晚上很吵。
Nice place to stay, clean, well connected with the center and just 4 minutes walks from the cathedral. 24h reception is very useful when you arrive late in the night
A localização é muito boa, perto de tudo e fácil para deslocamento e a simpatia dos funcionários é excepcional.
Infelizmente os quartos são muito quentes, são ótimos mas falta um ar condicionado no verão. Um outro ponto (nada haver com o hostel), mas seria o barulho que nunca para na rua. Com certeza recomendo protetores auriculares para dormir.
Camera grande spaziosa, letto grande, molto comodo. Il caffè sempre disponibile.
Area comune spoglia, con divinatti/poltrone consumati Non c'è aria condizionata e nelle stanze c'è solo un mini ventilatore che non fa molto
Celkem pohodlná postel
Na snídani chybělo ovoce, zelenina, sladké pečivo. Hrozný hluk z ulice i přes zavřená okna a špunty v uších a hluk z větráku.
La ubicación y la limpieza
No tenía aire acondicionado y el ventilador no era suficiente, tuvimos calor
El desayuno es simple, pero cumple, la ubicación es muy céntrica, cercano a todo, la cama buena, los sistema de lokers bien, guardaropia post a la salida podría mejorar, el personal excelente. siempre limpio.
se bien que es un edificio histórico. sin embargo, subir escaleras con maletas es un poco incomodo, quizas contar con alguna forma de subir las mismas, sería ideal, que los lokers sean un poco más grande
Czysta pościel, śniadanie od 7.00, lokalizacja i późne zameldowanie
Hałas z ulicy, brak jakiejkolwiek półki na górnym łóżku, tylko uchwyt na telefon i gniazdko do ładowania
Die Professionalität und Freundlichkeit
Posizione strategica! Al centro di Porto, vicino a tutto!
Nulla
Very friendly staff. Perfect location.
Tout
Seul petit détail, ma chambre donnait sur la rue alors c’était très bruyant à part ça je n’ai rien à dire c’était super
Most of it
The showers had low water pressure, and left 10 cm of water because it didnt drain properly, also on a hot light it would be hard to sleep due to no AC
Great location, nice staff
Very uncomfortable mattress and pillows. Bedding didn’t feel super clean.
La posizione dell'ostello è centralissima.
J'ai passé un très agréable séjour à Best Guest Hostel. L'emplacement est excellent, à quelques minutes à pied de la gare de São Bento et proche des principaux sites touristiques de Porto. Les chambres et les espaces communs sont propres et bien entretenus. Le personnel est très accueillant, serviable, souriant et toujours prêt à aider. Je recommande cet établissement à tous ceux qui recherchent un hébergement confortable, propre et bien situé à Porto.
Rien à signaler
Izvrsna lokacija za pocetak Camina, blizu katedrale. Cisto, uredno, prostrano, ljubazno osoblje.
Street noise overnight interfered with part of a good nights rest.
La repcion!
Habitaciones muy pequeñas, y baño compartido para 4 personas, poca intimidad.
