The Yellow House in Porto, Portugal

This is a great place to stay. It's much more like living in a communal house than a hostel. If you like those big, blocky affairs that feel like dorms (some do) then this is the opposite of that. Everyone hangs out in the kitchen, garden or living room. It feels like the kind of place you could sink into for a couple of weeks, easily. Good sized rooms, good beds, great breakfast and the strangest painting you'll ever see in a hostel. Tom, from USA ~ 10th Nov 2009

I absolutely adore this hostel! I stayed in a 6-person room and not only was it roomy if there had been 6-people staying at the time but there was also a private bathroom for the room which came in handy. The staff are so sweet and friendly, the bathroom and showers I found very clean, and the breakfast is very good. The location is about a block or two north of ideal, but if you like to walk it is right by Santa Catarina which you can take down to the river. Highly recommended!
