Cats Hostel Porto

Great location and super friendly staff and social roommates made the stay very enjoyable. A little bit weird having the dorm in another building. Room was decent, but curtains on the beds would really help with privacy. Lockers under the beds didn’t work, and I had to buy a padlock nearby. Cleaning staff came by daily, which kept things nice and clean. Social atmosphere was great, especially on the rooftop terrace. Only downside was the AC not working properly, making it hard to sleep. Overall, a solid stay thanks to the people, cleanliness, and location.

Great hostel! The location is perfect, right in the middle of Porto. You can easily get around without needing to transit/drive. The rooftop patio was really nice. The rooms were decent as well, clean and ensuite bathrooms are nice. No curtains on the beds which was unfortunate. Also make sure to bring your own lock!

Perfect hostel with easy check in, an amazing bar and upstairs there's a massive terrace with great views. Rooms are spacious, and the beds are very comfortable with charging stations and a light. Take a lock with you for your box to be locked. The bathroom is tight and fairly clean, so do take your sandals to take a shower to avoid foot issues later!!!

The rooms were really clean, there is space for many people and there are showers and toilets inside the rooms. |The cozy places with cushions and the rooftop are very relaxing and nice to meet up with people.|The staff is really nice and welcoming.

BED BUGS. My partner woke up with many bites and found a bed bug after only one night in the hostel. Hostel staff said they’d investigate and then ignored all emails afterwards. We were not compensated. A bit overpriced anyway, and generally dirty — go somewhere else. UPDATE: They informed us they didn’t find any bed bugs, and won’t compensate us. It is clear that the bed bugs could not have come from anywhere else, and there are plenty of other recent reviews showing similar experiences.

Very cool and modern hostel with an amazing rooftop. Rooms are comfy but beds are without curtains but there are showers and toilets in the room. The locatioj is also very convenient and there is the pubcrawl and dinners organised by the hostel

Fine stay, unfortunately had a bad experience with another guest. No curtains on the beds in our 10 bunks room. Did have a bathroom and shower in the dorm which is a plus but kind of mid overall.

The check in process was smooth and the staff who was there at the reception was really friendly. You are required to pay a 10 euro deposit when you check in, and the amount will be returned to you when you check out and hand in your key. You also would pay 4 euros for tourist tax while checking in. There is an elevator in the building, which was quite nice as I was on the 4th floor and didn't have to climb the stairs every time. I stayed in an 8 bed female dormitory room and it had 2 toilets and 2 showers. 1 toilet and shower are in the same cubicle and the others are in single cubicles. It also helped that the bathroom was inside the room. The rooms are cleaned everyday and the sheets on beds where people have checked out are changed before the next occupant checks in. The beds also have lockers underneath the bunk that are quite big and you would need a padlock to lock the drawer and secure your belongings. The hostel also has a roof top bar where you can chill during the day and hang out at night. The hostel has a laundry room where you can do your laundry for a fee (I think it was 4 euros to wash and 4 euros to dry) and you can pay 2 euros to leave your luggage in the hostel after you check out, which was quite helpful for me as my bus back was late at night and I still wanted to explore the town before I headed out. The hostel is also close to the metro and within walking distance of major tourist attractions. It's also close to Time Out Market which is a building with a number of restaurants that sell a variety of meals. Overall, I had a pleasant experience in Cats Porto Hostel.
