Gallery Hostel Porto | GH Group Porto | Accommodation in Porto Art District | Events

Lovely hostel, near the historic centre. The staff are helpful, respectful and attentive. The room is spacious, clean and modern. It’s not a very social hotel but I had a very relaxing and restful stay. I’d recommend the hostel and stay again.

A scam. The hostel garden was closed for my entire stay and half way through my stay so was the kitchen. There is no information about these closures on their website or on booking .com where they still list and have photos of the facilities that are actually not available. Nor was I informed in booking or even on arrival. They have refused to offer any refund for the unavailable facilities. In general the atmosphere is very lacking, it feels like you are simply staying in a room above a restaurant which clearly takes priority, it does not have any warm or communal feeling of a hostel, staff are unhelpful and grumpy. When the kitchen was open it was used as a staff room by the restaurant staff and once they brought a restaurant customer in to use a table as a baby changing facility, which is surely against hygiene regulations. Even though I had injured my back they refused to help with with my luggage, gave no sympathy or offer to help with anything. I chose the most expensive hostel in order to be comfortable and it was most definitely not, very much a waste of money. It also is very poorly connected compared to other hostels, not near to the center or any metro.

Very nice hostel with good location near city center. Rooms are spacious. Slept on the 6 female dorm, there are more than enough shower and toilet space (2 for each). They provide towels and soap. Lockers are provided too. There is a Tv room at the attic and a kitchen at the ground floor. Downside is the the floor create a loud noise when stepping on it, and it can be noisy especially when there is another room above you.

This were the most comfortable beds and pillows I had in a hostel. Istayed in the mix room for 6 ppl. The team is very friendly and they keep the place super clean. There are some activities scheduled in the evenings but I was never there to check them out. It's not a party hostel (and I'm fine with that 😀). Two things I would improve would be to be able to have breakfast from 7 or at least 7h30 (it's delicious) and also would appreciate allergen information on the food. For example I'm quite sure the pastries (like the pastel de nata) at breakfast has lard on their composition which is not obvious. Ppl that do not eat pork for health, life style or religious reasons may ended up falling in a trap as they look like vegetarian dishes.

I only spent "1 day" here, but I still feel the need to take the time to compliment the superb service the staff here provides. Everything is clean, everyone helpful, and the food from their kitchen is fresh and amazing. Sofia was great and even remade my meal because the staff accidentally did not pack it for take out as I requested. I truly did not care to take it home once I knew it was thrown out, but they insisted they would make it again. A perfect example of the above average hospitality. Truly a gem of a place in a gem of a city. Thank you again Sofia. I will be back to stay for longer!

Can we get a yeehawww for this hostel! I have travelled a lot over the world and Gallery Hostel is 10/10. The breakfast, superb!!! The staff so lovely and honestly have to say one bar staff made the best cocktails I’ve ever had and that says alot coming from Melbourne, Australia. Which we are massive cocktail drinkers (snobs). I loved every minute of Gallery Hostel & would recommend any traveller to book here. It’s the art type of town, close to the river for cruise’s and all the delicious food nearby. They offer free bicycle hire, which I did and took off to a beautiful beach about 30mins ride very easy and amazing. I didn’t want to leave if im honest! Also enjoy happy hour, it’s a treat. Love love LOVEEEEE this hostel.

I accidentally booked for the wrong weekend (and without a cancellation option), but the staff went above and beyond to help me move my stay to the correct dates — completely free of charge! They could have double booked it, but they decided to help me! Everyone working here is incredibly kind, helpful, and genuinely cares about the guests. The rooms are modern, clean, and comfortable. You can really feel that they put a lot of heart into this place.

This was my first Halloween and I went beyond my budget with a 35 euro party. I was hopeful when I saw the hostel had a restaurant also promoting this event. So what would you expect? Good food. We were served high school students party food. With every single thing from the market. I wonder if even the tomato soup was from the market. ‘Dj performances’? They had a Spotify playing… WITH ADS. Honestly this was the worst ‘party’ I’ve been to in my life.

Wow! This is the best hostel I have stayed in EVER across Europe,Australia & Asia. Amazing facilities, friendly helpful staff & a really lovely homely atmosphere. Beautiful old building, art gallery, movie room, comfy beds, clean bathrooms, large dorms, personal lights & power plugs , balconies the list goes on. Every night they have 3 course dinners cooked in house by the staff for €10 with wine. This food is really really good & a great way to meet fellow travellers. I could go on & on about this hostel, beds in dorms start at around 20€ a night just give it a visit!!

Splendid hostel, it is one of those places that doesn't look like much from the outside but once you cross the threshold this wonderful hostel opens up right before your eyes. Lovely staff, the main office is right next to the front door and also has a supply of tourist information for the city and region. Everyone I saw check in, along with myself when I arrived, was given a tour of the place, much like an orientation. There is a lovely grand wooden staircase going up the centre of the building towards the different floors. The room itself was one of the biggest hostel rooms I have stayed in and did not have bunks packed into every spare space but instead had a lovely open feel about it. There are the all important power plugs with each bed and a balcony too. The bathrooms were clean and the hot water wonderful. There was a small bar area and a movie room just beyond the bar where they had a large TV set to one wall and some comfy couches to relax in, some board games, a chess set and some books if you were after a quiet read. They had a couple of desktop computers in another room along with some travel related books in there as well and towards the back was the breakfast room where they also served a group meal that you had to sign up for in the morning. Location wise it is within a short walking distance of city centre and not much further to the river.

Can I give more stars than 5?? The hostel is incredible. Thanks to the wonderful staff for their help while I was there.
