HI Porto - Pousada de Juventude

I like it very much, and there is breakfast~

Used to traveling all over the world in hotels, hostels, homestays or even camping, I had never had an experience like this before. Of course, the self-service food is edible and you don't have to be demanding. I was with 3 friends in a room which overlooked the towers and we used the shared showers and WC. Of the 3 toilets, none locked. Also, when we arrived we had the pleasant surprise of having hair on our sheets. Of course, the staff is welcoming but when we saw a bedbug (SEE PHOTO) on one of our mattresses, they didn't do what was necessary. In fact, he simply came into the room to spray the bedbug with a special spray, then removed it with a tissue and only changed the bottom sheet. We still had the other half of the week left in this hostel and we did not change beds or rooms even though the bedbugs are in the mattresses and therefore require special intervention. Surprisingly, I looked at the reviews for the hostel and I was far from the only one who had found bedbugs. In short, I do not recommend this hostel if you want to have a good stay in Porto.

Thefts in rooms during the day. Do not leave anything outside the suitcases. Don't want to know anything. No recourse possible. Ask not to do the cleaning before your departure. A shame. Wasted trip.

There are planes, it's noisy, the wastewater treatment plant generates atrocious odors, no air conditioning so you have to sleep with an open bay window, you can hear the other residents on their balcony. No sound insulation either. The mattresses are fine. It's not a hotel, more a home... no requirements to have. 3 nights €200 This is average value for money.
