I stayed at the Gallery Hostel with my partner (review below) and have to say she didn't really give it justice without 4 stars, we shall have words! I thought the hostel was excellent and Paula was very helpful by sharing her time with us advising us what to see and how to get there during our 24 hour stay... More

I stayed at this hostel by pure chance....and how lucky I was. I arrived in Porto at 6am and I just wandered the streets looking for a hostel. I walked into a 5 star hotel and they suggested the Gallery Hostel around the corner. I have travelled to abour 60 countries around the world and stayed in 100's of hostels... More

I was with my partner for one night in Porto and we had booked a double room at the Gallery Hostel in advance, we chose it as it looked unusual and my partner is quite into Art. We loved it, from the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome by Paula who showed us around and even... More

The owners and staff are very helpful and kind. Real thought went into the design and layout of the rooms. I stayed in a 6 bedroom dorm room for women. It has two toilets and two showers - with a small changing stall. The bathroom was installed in the same area as the bunk bed - no wandering in the... More

I stayed at Gallery Hostel due to the excellent reviews I read via tripadvisor when I was planning my European vacation. I am a solo female traveler who knew nothing of Porto and the reason I had in mind was to spend two days on the beach with a drink in my hand and a nice tan by the end... More

My daughter booked us into the Private room in the roof for a weekend. Our main criteria was its location when booking but we were delighted with it. i guess this room has been converted recently and it is up a lot of stairs, particularly the last flight but lovely. The bathroom is a little bijou and you can't be... More

I would say that this was the best hostel I've ever stayed in. I stayed in a 6 bed dorm, and it was very comfortable and clean, with two showers and two toilets. I can only say positive things: good location, very comfortable and clean, delicious breakfast, and everyone in the staff was very friendly and helpful at all times.... More

We stayed in a double room for 2 nights, which are more hotelrooms then hostel. This place is only open for a year and everything is new, so the rooms are very nice, clean and big. Only a tv is missing compared with other hotels (if you would need one), but that is more then made up with a cinema... More
