HI Porto - Pousada de Juventude

BAD BED BUG INFESTATION. I just arrived in Porto from the States and my first night the BBBs feasted in my tender parts in my dorm bunk bed. 49 bites!!! Pilgrims beware!!!

There is no view from the window, you can't see the river, there are big trees in front. There were bed bugs in the bed that bit us. The bed legs were broken, and if we moved, we were afraid the bed would fall over.

I would not recommend staying here. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that cleanliness was not a priority. The room was filthy—dust, dirt, and grime everywhere. To make matters worse, I discovered bed bugs in the bed. I woke up with bites all over, which was absolutely disgusting. It’s shocking that a place could neglect such basic hygiene standards. I also noticed that common areas were just as bad and seemed like nothing had been cleaned in a long time. The overall condition of the accommodation was unacceptable. Stay at your own risk, but if you value your health and a clean environment, avoid this place entirely.

Bed bugs in my bed!! Not a good experience! Still trying to recover from the bites!

The staff at the hostel were nice and helpful but the hostel was pretty dirty especially the bathrooms and my friend and I came away with bed bugs - yuck! I contacted the hostel about the bed bugs, telling them what room and beds we were in but they never responded. We ended up spending around €40 to clean ALL of our stuff. The vibe of the hostel was not social but the location was lovely by the beach. Don’t let the bed bugs bite lol.

I think if I had placed an egg in the room it would have cooked in 2 mins Could do with air con in room
