    There are A LOT of stairs. Whilst that's not something that can be changed, it was a struggle for me to get to the 3rd floor where my bunk was.

    Check in was easy. We were allowed to store our luggage there for a few hours prior to checking in. I love the cinema theme. I love that each bunk has curtains for privacy. Breakfast was lovely too.

    The sound that the doors make when unlocking them, because other people are sleeping

    the amazing theme of movies and how kind and understandable people were there. The events and rooftop bar

    I loved that they put on activities (eg movie nights/dinner) that you could opt into. They were a great way to meet new people. I also loved that you could store luggage (outside of check in & check out times) for free. The staff were nice and would answer any questions about the city and give recommendations. I was super impressed by the breakfast

    The hairdryer in the bathroom was very old-fashioned and took a long time to dry your hair

    I really liked that there were common areas to socialise: kitchen, living room and rooftop bar. I appreciated the free breakfast as not all hostels offer this. The bbq dinner on the rooftop was really nice too. I liked the two wooden shelves in the bunk bed to put your things. It was great that the key card opened the door to the room and also to your locker - no need to bring a padlock.

    I rarely feel at home the moment I step into a hostel or hotel, but at Rivoli it happened right away. The common areas are lovely — clean, cozy, and beautifully designed. The staff is absolutely amazing, and the rooftop is a real highlight: perfect for unwinding after a day exploring the city, with all the main attractions just a short walk away. For its location, atmosphere, and warm hospitality, Rivoli will definitely be my first and only choice when I come back to Porto. Thank you so much — I truly felt at home!

    This hostel is one the best I've been to. I really enjoyed the common areas (the rooftop bar is amazing). Everything was super clean, the kitchen well organized with snacks and drinks that hosts can enjoy at all time. The staff is really friendly and arranging. The beds are big and comfy and allow you some privacy with a curtain. I would definitely come back here for another stay at Porto !

    No elevators and the rooms are up 4-6 sets of stairs. If someone checks out early, the housemaids can come in before 11am to make the beds and noisy talking which can be annoying in the morning.

    Good location and good curtains privacy for the beds.

    The bathrooms feel a bit improvised. The showers are kinda small and uncomforable. The bed pillow could be a bit better.

    Excellent location Bed mattress was super comfortable. Beds had headlights and universal outlets. Kind and reliable staff Rooms had curtains for bunk beds, A/C, and double glass windows Cleaned every day. Everything was tidy.

    Breakfast options were limited. Some eggs and yogurt would be nice additions to alll the high-carb foods, for example. Also, as an older guest (mid-60's) it would be great to be able to request a lower bunk.

    A great staff who were very helpful and upbeat. The common areas were clean and comfortable and it was a lovely rooftop bar also.

    Great option to stay in the heart of Porto
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Bed in 4-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Breakfast is included but all the options available were quite unhealthy (despite a basket with fruits) so I preferred to go and have breakfast outside - but that is my personal choice. Also keep in mind this is not a party hostel - which I like - but overall it had a total lack of social atmosphere. Bathrooms are mixed - which is not my favorite option but it was ok.

    The hostel is clean and the beds comfortable you can close the curtain for more privacy and you got space to put things besides the bed. In my dorm it was quiet and good for sleeping. The staff is very nice and helpful. The location is unbeatable you can walk to tons of options for eating etc and to all interesting points of Porto city center (or take the Metro if you want to explore neighborhoods outside).

    No lift!! Not so great if you have a suitcase or after a long Camino trek. I stayed both dormitory and twin bed room on level 2 and 3 respectively. Limited bathroom to share amongst all. Twin room has such a thin wall, you can hear all the talks , noises..And people walking. Get your own towel and toileraty.

    Central , great common space and fully equipped clean kitchen. Great breakfast, there's even chocolate cake and fruits ..Oh and great coffee

    Strong chemical smell in the hallways. Apparently you can’t be in your dorm from 10am-2pm - seems like an absurd rule.

    Good kitchen amenities.

    Air freshener or cleaning chemical had a strong overpowering chemical smell. Bathrooms were small.

    Really good bunks that had curtains, a shelf, charging ports, ability to open the windows in the dorm. Good kitchen. Free fruits and tea. Balcony rooftop area that was open all night for phone calls/smoking without having to leave the building. Had some social events but it wasn’t overly social.
