Wonderful, beautiful, so lovely. I hope to go back soon! I stayed for 2 nights but wish I could have stayed forever. The staff was so wonderful, the location was fantastic, and the other hostel guests were so nice. The hostel helped set me up on a day tour of the Douro river, and I am grateful to them for... More

This is a great hostel, I have travelled hundreds of hostels already and I can really recommend you this one, it's really one of the best! The neighborhood is a little strange and you wouldn't expect such a quality hostel in there, but it's absolutely great! That's how Portugal is, the facade is a but run down, but it's all... More

All other positive reviews have already said what I completely endorse. I am visiting Portugal for the second time and chose to go to Porto again just to stay at the Gallery Hostel. I was hesitant to write a review so I could keep this gem of a place a secret, but since TripAdvisor rates it a 2 star location... More

On a recent 7-month trip around Europe and the UK, I stayed at this hostel at the very start of my trip. The problem with that was the standard set by the Gallery Hostel. I was expecting every other hostel to be as good as this was, but none could match it. This hostel was the best I stayed at.... More

Location of the hostel is excellent, close to the center, on the art district. Design of the building, rooms and the winter garden was very good and warm. Most important thing to say about Gallery hostel is 'the staff'. They were very friendly and helpful. Chatting, having dinner was a pleasure like you're with your close friends. Lastly, breakfasts were... More

Besides a noisy bed, all the rest was excellent! The place is amazing, the staff helpful and food is delicious. Decoration is clean and well done. I had a great time there! The location is also great!

Stayed here with 7 of my cousin so there was a total of 8 of us ranging from the ages of 15-25 and it was an amazing stay! We booked two rooms, and the layout of each room suited my family perfectly!

This is a hostel, only in the sense that rooms are shared with other guests. Very clean and wonderful downstairs lounge areas. Great breakfast and kitchen as well. All the staff mingle with the guests - in fact, I thought a few were guests for most of my stay! Would highly recommend if staying in Porto.

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The Gallery Hostel is set in a privileged area of Oporto, known for its art galleries and modern shops, at a walking distance from the main points of interest in the city centre such as museums, monuments, gardens, restaurants and bars. Located in Rua Miguel Bombarda, the Hostel is established in an historical building with more than 100 years old, which just went through a renewal in order to respond to our guest’s needs and expectations. With high standards of comfort and carefully decorated, you will find a familiar and cosy atmosphere, complemented by a multilingual and professional team. Composed by several types of rooms, the Gallery Hostel is divided in two sections. You can choose between staying in the main building in a 6 or 4 people bedroom, or in one of our Garden Suites, always offering a privileged privacy. In the main building, each room is named after the most renowned artists of Oporto such as Sophia Mello Breyner, Almeida Garrett, Julio Resende, Silva Porto, Siza Vieira and Souto Moura. Also creating an original feeling of the city and enhancing local culture, the Garden Suites are named after the main Oporto city parks (Cordoaria, Botânico, Serralves and Palácio de Cristal). Our services and common areas have also been developed in order to satisfy any need the guest might have. You can choose listening to music and drink Portuguese wine in our Lounge Bar, watch a DVD in our Movie Theatre or play a game, surf on internet or read a book in our Library, have a chat or chill out in our interior gardens, enjoy a meal in our open kitchen and breakfast area, between others. ... more   less
