Bed bug reports

Staff was very nice and the hostel was centrally located. Room was spacious and quiet. Our main issue was the cleanliness of the beds. We got a private room and it seemed like the beds weren’t properly cleaned (we saw hairs on the bed). My partner also woke up with bites on his arms, and I woke up feeling itchy. We suspect bed bugs but didn’t actually see them on inspection.

I absolutely regret booking there and am currently writing a complaint. I found bedbugs, MULTIPLE ones of them on the bed and the towels I used. This completely ruined my experience and even a few days later, I shiver from it and am still horrified by the thought of the bedbugs. This is without mentioning that there was no bottle of water in the hostel. The room I got didn't even look like any of the ones pictured. I honestly cannot believe this is the experience I got for the price I paid.

I got so many bed bug bites and couldn't sleep at all. I woke up at 12 am and came down at the lobby. I took some pictures of the bed bugs with the blood they got from me. I told them about the bed bugs and showed bug bites on my body. The front desk person took pictures and told me they would contact me later but did not. I am very disappointed.

Got bitten by bed bugs all over my body staying at this hostel. Management also is ignoring my emails and complaints. Very disappointed! Vibe generally of the hostel is nice and location is great. But the bed bugs ruined my experience in Porto!

The hostel is very nice and a great place to meet people. The staff is also helpful. Unfortunately, my bed had bed bugs and I got bitten all over my body. This made my experience unpleasant compared to other people at the hostel.

Vibe Analysis
Lost Inn Porto is a central Porto party hostel near Se Cathedral, with a handy base for the Camino and daytime city wandering. The setup leans lively rather than restful: loud music, late movement, and social energy are part of the deal, even when the actual atmosphere can feel hit-or-miss. The strongest practical perks are location, a kitchen, common areas, bed curtains in dorms, lockers, lights, sockets, and free sangria around 9pm. Some private rooms seem more comfortable than the dorm setup, and the building can feel modern and cosy when the basics are running well. This is a better fit for younger travelers who want a cheap, central, loud place and do not need quiet nights. It is a weaker fit for pilgrims, light sleepers, older travelers, or anyone who wants polished service and reliably clean bathrooms.
Signals to check
- Noise can run late, with loud lobby music, street noise, door slamming, and people moving through dorms at night.
- Bathrooms can be cramped, limited, dirty, or short on basics like toilet paper or soap.
- There are serious cleanliness red flags, including bedbug claims, dirty bedding, stained sheets, and insects in shared areas.
- The surrounding street can feel sketchy after dark, especially for solo travelers.
- Service and booking handling can be rough, with payment confusion, overbooking issues, age-policy problems, and uneven staff attitude.
- The hostel appears to apply an under-45 policy in some cases, so older travelers should confirm directly before booking.
