    If you want to be close to the beach and enjoy a relaxed atmosphere, this hostel is the perfect choice. It is located slightly outside of the main tourist area, but still near to the center and easily accessible by metro. the hostel is also conveniently situated near the train station, making it very convenient for travelers coming from or going to the airport. the rooms are clean and comfortable, and the staff is friendly and helpful. the breakfast is tasty and there is a lovely garden view from some of the rooms.

    The room was incredibly spacious and even had lockers for our bags. Despite the rainy weather, the view of the back garden was enjoyable. The included breakfast was good with a variety of options. The hostel and surrounding area were quiet, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep. The staff, particularly Rogerio and Miguel, were extremely helpful and friendly throughout our stay.

    Would recommend this hostel.

    Had an amazing New Year's stay! Loved the friendly and helpful staff who made my experience unforgettable. The clean and spacious rooms were a great plus, and the included towel and extra blanket were a nice touch. The location was key, with easy access to the supermarket and the city center. And the fact that there was a metro station just around the corner made exploring Porto a breeze.

    Although overall a great stay, there were a couple of downsides. The shared bathroom could have been better, as it was uncomfortable to close the door while sitting on the toilet.

    I recently stayed at So Cool Hostel for a few nights and had a wonderful experience. The staff was incredibly helpful and made sure my stay was pleasant. The rooms were clean and had a lovely terrace, perfect for enjoying the peaceful evenings. The hostel itself was spacious and comfortable, with lots of natural light in the room. The location was convenient, near the city center and with great views from the bedroom. The bed was comfortable and the room spotlessly clean. The included breakfast was simple but nice, with plenty of choices. a fantastic stay.

    Would recommend this hostel.

    We had a blast at this hostel! the staff were friendly and helpful, and there was a shared kitchen where we could prepare our meals. the breakfast was delicious and the rooms were clean and comfortable. We loved the location near the station and the fact that we had our own key for the shared bathroom. it was a great place for bigger groups of friends.

    Felt right at home here, nothing was too much trouble.

    The hostel is located near the station, which was very convenient. the staff were friendly and spoke English, making communication easy. They were also very helpful and provided us with a key for the shared bathroom, giving us privacy. there was a kitchen available for us to use and the breakfast provided was really good.

    If you arrive between 00:00 and 08:00, there is no night reception and you won't be able to enter the hostel. This was a big inconvenience for us as our flight was delayed and we had to spend extra hours at the airport.

    Great location and amenities. the hostel had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. the beds were clean and comfortable, and the bathroom facilities were well-maintained. the included breakfast was a nice bonus, and the kitchen was well-equipped for cooking meals. the staff was friendly and helpful, always willing to assist with any requests. the outdoor area was a pleasant space to relax and unwind. the hostel was also conveniently located near public transportation options and within walking distance of the city center.

    The website was a bit misleading in regards to parking options, as it implied that onsite parking was available when it was not. the washing machine did not clean clothes effectively.
