Para no volver jamás!!

Horrible!!!!!!!!! El dueño del establecimiento un impresentable. Nos trató fatal y nos tuvo más de 5 horas en la calle sin dejarnos entrar por un problena totalmente ajeno a nosotros. En la habitación cuidado: CHINCHES!! Varios niños amanecieron llenos de picaduras. La luz del baño no iba, la ducha se salía el agua, camas y sobre todo la almohada incomodisimas.

Awesome stay

The place is nice, close to the city center (there is a bus line taking you there directly but it's also posible to walk there and see the city). The staff is nice, girl who worked there the first day was really cheerfull and helpful, ready to give you tips to see in a city. Rooms are clean and nice, just like in the pictures. I highly recommend the hostel.

Traumhafte Lage am Flussufer

Das Apartment war klein, aber sehr sauber und mit allem notwendigen Komfort ausgestattet. Die Altstadt von Porto ist in ca. 10 min zu Fuß erreicht, die Anbindung an den ÖPNV ist durch die Buslinie 500 gewährleistet. Durch die Lage direkt am Fluss kommen insbesondere Läufer auf ihre Kosten: In 5 km Entfernung wartet die Douro-Mündung in den Atlantik und der Leuchtturm von Porto auf.

Grazioso appartamento vicino al fiume e al centro

Abbiamo soggiornato 2 notti in questo ostello, in un monolocale con vista fiume, semplice ma grazioso. Personale molto cordiale e disponibile, pronto a dare consigli sulla città. Posizione eccellente, comodo per la possibilità di usufruire della cucina dell'appartamento, dotato di tutto il necessario. Solo la pulizia potrebbe un po' migliorare, ma comunque sufficiente.

Erg veel vervallen gebouwen in de buurt, appartement is gerenoveerd, maar lijkt vochtig. Het bed is echt doorgelegen, gelukkig bleven we maar twee dagen, langer had ik het niet uitgehouden.

Hav din egen lejlighed i Porto..

Porto er en spændende by, som byder på massere af oplevelser. Personalet på Happy Porty er super hjælpsomme mht billetter og gode ideer til et godt ophold. De har også en fin airport service. Lejligheden vi boede i var fin til 4 personer ( 1 double og 1 køjeseng ), dog kunne madrassen i double sengen godt have været bedre og hvis man er til selv at lave mad mangler der lidt grej. Men alt i alt et fint sted til prisen.
