The House of Sandeman - Hostel & Suites

We had an amazing experience here and would highly recommend this place to anyone. The rooms were extremely nice and clean. We also felt very safe staying here. You couldn't ask for a better location, it was right on the water and the views were breathtaking. The staff was so helpful and kind. One staff member in particular, Anna, was truly exceptional. She was personable, kind, and helpful. She took extra time to give us recommendations on where to eat, things to do around town, and if anything ever came up she was there to help us. I would stay here again and was sad to leave.

Loved my stay at this hostel! Staff were great and super helpful. You get free buffet breakfast every morning and they had decent options, you also get a free little snack at 5pm. The hostel itself has a beautiful view of the river Douro from the common area. The beds are big compared to the usual single beds and were made every morning which I love, as not everywhere does it. The room I stayed in, it has 2 cleaned private bathrooms, another thing I love. I cannot really fault this hostel. You get a lot for your money and would 100% recommend.

Stayed in summer 2023. Surprisingly comfy beds, polite and respectful atmosphere with good breakfast. Not quite as friendly as other hostels I have been in, but people are willing to have a friendly chat over breakfast. Would stay again. Was able to get good sleep even in the 14 bed dorm.

Overall, great concept and bed setup for a hostel. Clean, but couples need to book their own private rooms not hostels as you are sharing a room with others and it’s disturbing for others without saying too much. Place was clean, didn’t smell like other hostels I’ve been to in Europe, the location is across from Porto, so a little less to do than across the river. Great view of the river and about a 15 minute walk to Porto and metro station.

This will be one of my top best hostel experiences. Warm and welcoming reception, unbelievable breakfast that's included, phenomenal location (views to die for!) and comfortable beds. What more could you ask for and the price was some of the best in the city and really affordable. My only side note would be for nomads, the WiFi cuts out. Fine if you have to do general work etc, but not so great for meetings.

Easily the nicest hostel I've ever been to. Gorgeous decor, so much hygge, great included breakfast, super cool beds, incredible location. SO much bang for your buck, I will only return here when in Porto. Zero complaints.

The House of Sandeman was an unforgettable experience for me. I have visited many places and stayed in many hostels but this one is different and the best! The rooms have a very different design and was incredibly comfortable, there is nothing much to say about its location because it is incredibly good!! The breakfast was super good and their welcome drink was really cool. They were also so kind. If I come to Porto again one day, I will stay here again❣️

This was our first and last stop on our Camino and both stays were excellent. The beds in the spacious dorm rooms are very comfortable. The rooms and bathrooms are kept clean and everything functions perfectly. The staff are so busy but still so welcoming and accommodating. The breakfast was excellent, portions generous and varied. The location could not be better.
