Rosalma Hostel

An excellent hostel in a very central location. You can walk everywhere and there is a metro station 2 minutes from the hostel with connections to the two main train stations. Staff was very helpful and accommodating. The place is very clean and looked after well. There are very nice communal spaces and a lovely garden. The kitchen is well-equipped. I had a very good stay at Rosalma and would definitely stay here again.

Good: Hostel location is great, very near to the Bolhao metro station, Bolhao market and St Catarina shopping street. Bed is enclosed with curtain, good privacy, feels more like a capsule hotel. There's a balcony viewing the garden with drying rack to hang wet towels. There's a garden, living room and proper kitchen which is great if you are staying with friends and/or want to hang out with other travelers especially in the summer. Can be improved: Shower cubicles are very small and no separation for dry area. Barely any space to hang your clothes & towels and everything will be wet by the end of shower if you are not careful. Toilet cubicles are also very small with many missing proper buttons to flush. Generally the cubicle locks don't feel secure and you can see gaps between the door, so may be uncomfortable especially for women since it's a mixed bathroom. Storage is located inside the bed cubicle. Rather small and you need to bring your own lock. Power plug is located at the foot side of the bed, so difficult to lay down and charge unless you have a long cable.

Amazing stay. The lady on the reception was very kind and nice. She welcomed in a very professional way. Amazing stay.

The shower was cold, that’s the only thing I got disappointed But, generally I can say it was a nice experience to stay this hostel

Excellent hostel located in the main street of Porto. The hostel owner is very friendly, the beds are very private and comfortable. Also very clean for a hostel. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

I don’t like the smell in the room but bed was comfortable and bathroom was good
