    Nothing in particular :)

    The Lobby offers a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for relaxing, reading, writing, working on your laptop, or even enjoying the board games they provide. The amenities are excellent—you can cook, as well as wash and dry your clothes with the machines available. The location is fantastic, making it easy to explore the city; I found myself going on walks almost daily to soak in the surroundings. I recommend to order at the bar thr “Green wine” it is like white wine with an extra something that makes it better :).

    Overall, I was happy with my stay at this property.

    • Twin Room with Shared Bathroom
    • Stayed 3 nights

    1. There was no hot water pressure to the 5th floor room with a private bath that I engaged. Ownership has been aware of this issue, yet doesn't fix it. I paid for a working private bath- don't take my money and then tell me I have to use a semi-private bath because there isn't enough water pressure to take a decent shower. 2. Cooking utensils and equipment wear out. Replacing or fixing them is a cost of doing business. In most cases, these costs run less than a 1000 Euro a year. Owner: You wouldn't have this worn out/broken stuff in your home, so don't inflict them on your staff and guests. We're the ones that keep you in business.

    The staff are wonderful. The location is fanstastic. The range of services (laundry, bar, good sized kitchen, plenty of seating and power outlets, etc.), and amenities is impressive.

    • Single Bed in 10-Bed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    There was nothing I did not like but I guess I would have preferred more privacy (I did book for a mixed 10-bed room) during New Years Eve so I cannot complain...

    I booked this place last minute for New Year's Eve and couldn’t have been happier. It’s in a great location, the beds were super comfy and clean. The best part? The staff! Guilherme was amazing—he made sure I had everything I needed, gave great tips on exploring Porto, and made everyone feel at home. Special thanks to Jaz, Hugo, and Isabella for their company! Honestly felt more like staying with friends than at a hotel. Would definitely come back!

    The lack of clothes hangers, and no place to place one's opened luggage other than the floor or on the bed. since some kind of chest or luggage rack isn't provided. Dull knives. Bathroom sink clogged with hair.

    A fabulous location, clean sheets, good water pressure, and the heating worked.

    This was a great Hostel….. not usually my thing anymore as a now senior citizen , but I wasn’t the only one . The room was comfortable with a nice firm mattress . No frills but I don’t need them. The reception, bar and lounge was a fun place to hang and socialize and nicely decorated

    We asked for a corner room with terrace, all good. The only problem, there is no soundproofing between our room and the adjacent dorm rooms. If we stayed again, we’d ask for a room on the 5th floor.

    We didn’t eat breakfast at Nice Way. The location adjacent to Sao Bento train station is a real bonus, especially during the subway expansion project.

    The room was super basic....nowhere to put anything, one single light in the center of the ceiling...gave off prison vibes, but the overall vibe, location, good laundry facility, 2 euro wine, friendly staff, etc, made it more than worth it. You can definitely get a nicer room for what they charge for a private room, but the communal aspect makes up for it.

    Lovely vibe. Really nice common room with lots going on....bar, several different tables and couches, games, good wifi, friendly staff. The common area makes this place what it is...a great place to connect with other travelers. One day it rained all day and we were tired from traveling anyway, so we did laundry, played games, read and hung out. Could not have done that in a normal hotel.

    I found it a bit pricey for a hostel, but the cost was similar to others in the area. I chose this one because I needed a good workspace, and the common area looked ideal for that purpose.

    Location is perfect and the common space was great to work.
