Great budget stay for solo traveller
I loved the Rivoli Cinema Hostel. It's ideally located in Porto with tons to do and see only a few blocks away. I stayed in a private room while travelling solo after a group trip ended. I much prefered a private room and communal bathroom to sharing a room in a hotel that was allegedly 3 stars. This was a much better experience and the rooftop hangout is an extra perk!!
Foi ótima! As pessoas eram muito respeitadoras e simpáticas.

Situado en el mismo centro de oporto, a unos 5 minutos a pie de la torre de los clérigos y la estación de tren. Muy limpio, con desayuno rico y camas cómodas. Nos sorprendió para bien la verdad y el personal muy agradable. Sin duda repetiría.

Amazing Hostel
Amazing hostel, the staff were so friendly and accommodating! There’s chances to meet up with other solo travellers which is great. The beds are comfortable and have a privacy curtain which is always a great benefit. The only issue I had was that the bathrooms were mixed gender which I didn’t personally enjoy but other than that there were no issues at all. The location is perfect for tourist locations and very close to the metros. In all I would definitely say it is one of my favourite hostels I have stayed at and will definitely be staying again when visiting Porto!

My spouse, 9 year old child and I had an excellent time at this hostel! The facilities were clean and enjoyable. The location had us walking distance from wonderful cafes, restaurants, and sites. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was included. What more could you ask for!

We had a private room with shared bathroom in the Rivoli Cinema Hostel for 3 nights. It is in walking distance to most of the sights, tours and supermarkets. The kitchen was well equiped, the shared bathrooms were clean and our room was comfortable. It is a bit noisy with the traffic, but it is to be expected on this location.The staff was fun and very helpful. The cinema theme is everywhere, in all the small details! Great home base in Porto!

The room was way too small for the price. Also we booked the property due to the pool but they closed it citing winter despite it not being too cold at the beginning of october in Porto. Hostel room would probably be worth it but the individual room at this property is not good.

Zunächst Ärger um den Uebernachtungspreis mit Diskussionen bis kurz vor Mitternacht. WHnsinnige Lautstärke von der Musik von der Dachterrasse. Kein Stuhl oder Ablage im Zimmer.

Séjour excellent.
Super séjour en plein centre de Porto. Auberge de Jeunesse propre et confortable. Petit-déjeuner un peu tardif (8h30) mais très copieux. Chambre de 4 petite (normal pour une AJ) mais literie confortable. Clim appréciée.
Sanitaires propres.
Bar sur le toit-terasse super sympa. Piscine ressemble plus à une grosse baignoire ou un jacuzzi sans les bulles.
