Honestly my best hostel experience in over 15 years of wandering here and there. Sweetest and most welcoming staff, bright, clean, fully equiped community kitchen, an amazing rooftop patio/bar that's actually open and accessible ✨️
Everything was perfect! I stayed in a single room, very descent and clean.
The famous beautiful train station 10mins walk, the bougie McDonald 5mins walk. Everything is literally close by. Caique was the life of the party, he gave me amazing recommendations on what to do around and how to get there. The staff were fantastic. My only issue was that when doors in other rooms were shut, it affected my door. If you’re a light sleeper, you might have to wait until everyone goes to bed.

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!!
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!
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.
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!
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!
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.
Very lovely receptionist, good breakfast for a hostel.

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.
Hilfsbereites Personal
It was a nice as three years before when booked the hostel for the first time. Very nice house, excellent and clean bathrooms. The rooftop bar is always a place to stay. And the staffwas very polite and helpful, thank you so much. :)
