Pior experiencia em hostel. Pessimo atendimento, a atendente foi nojenta e debochada quando chegamos, pois nao sabia como era o hostel e fiz perguntas quanto ao banheiro. Ela olhava com deboche. Tambem quis cobrar dois euros para guardar a bagagem. No dia sefuinte o cafe da manha uma miséria, um pao, uma fatia de queijo e uma de oresunto embrulhadas separadas. Melhor que nem oferecesse. Ficamos num quarto privativo com banheiro também privativo, mas no ultimo dia, apareceu outro casal e o banheiro deixou de ser privativo e sim compartilhado e nao era o que comprei no site. Enfim, nunca mais! As roupas de csma nao foram tocadas pois encontrei cabelo de outra pessoa.. Recebemos uma toalha de banho para os tres dias de hospedagem. Me senti muito mal, dormindo numa cama suja usada por outra pessoa! E outro dia quando quis emprestar o secador, me ditaram as regras do uso e o horario. Nao sou crianca que nao sei respeitar

Très propre bien situé proche du métro. Nous avions une auto que nous avons stationné assez facilement sur le bord de la rue pour une nuit. La chambre avec deux lits simples est très grande. Le petit déjeuner est bien. L’hôte nous demande de ne pas faire de bruit entre 23h et 7h même pas utiliser la douche. Donc à 23:15 , nous avons pris notre douche à l’eau froide. Pas d’eau chaude jusqu’a 8:30 le lendemain matin. Coïncidence?

Auberge bien située. A 100 m station métro qui va dans le centre ou à l'aéroport. Propre. Bonne literie (chambre individuelle). Personnel agréable. Pas eu assez de soleil pour profiter du jardin. Pas de télévision dans la chambre, mais le soir après avoir visiter Porto (avec les escaliers, les montées), on n'a pas besoin de télévision.

Para ir a solo a dormir increíble
Nos hospedamos en la habitación individual, como veis en las fotos sencilla, lo justo para dejar las maletas. Está zona está en la última planta que es la 4 y no hay ascensor. Solo había 2 habitaciones y el baño a compartir es solo para esa zona. Está todo súper limpio, tanto las zonas comunes, como la habitación. Está andando al centro (estación sao Bento) unos 25/30 minutos. Hay parada de metro a 3 minutos andando Carolina Michelis, con lo cual hay opciones sino quieres andar. Tienes cocina para compartir, que está súper limpia y entra un pequeño desayuno compuesto por un bollito de pan con queso y jamón dulce, o lo puedes acompañar con mantequilla, mermeladas, nocilla, miel… también cereales. Lo que podéis repetir es bebida y cereales. Es bastante correcto. A parte que se puede utilizar para cocinar tu comida.

Llévate tus sábanas, lo demás bien!!
Un Hostal muy bien ubicado, la parada de metro de Carolina está a 3min., el desayuno está muy bien, y se puede descansar en silencio por las noches. Lo único precario de este Hostal son las sábanas de la cama y las almohadas/cojines, cuando destapamos la primera noche nuestra colcha, descubrimos sábanas con pelos y suciedad!! Nos dio muchísimo asco dormir esa primera noche.., y las almohadas son tipo cojines pequeños y muy deformados!! Puede que en este Hostal estén hasta las narices de recibir gente maleducada, pero la higiene va con uno mismo, y no todos los clientes somos iguales; El lavabo muy espacioso y bonito, pero faltan los pestillos tanto del WC como de las duchas, ah!! Y si que hay agua caliente, lo q si alguien se ha duchado antes que tú, tienes que esperar a que se vuelva a llenar el calentador. Solo lo recomiendo si te llevas tus propias sábanas.
