Porto Spot Hostel

NÃO RECOMENDO... O HOSTEL ESTÁ COM SURTO DE PERCEVEJOS DE CAMA (BED BUG), HÁ PELO MENOS 6 MESES. O Hostel é bem localizado e a equipe da recepção é simpática, em especial o Marcelo, que é um amor de pessoa e me mostrou o que havia próximo ao hostel. Após a primeira noite, senti meu corpo coçando, mas por estar em um país diferente, pensei que fosse alguma reação ao tempo, comida, etc. Conversando com alguns hóspedes, me foi relatado que havia um surto de percevejos (bed bug) no hostel e que eu não seria o primeiro caso. Este problema existe há pelo menos seis meses e até agora nada foi feito. Fui à farmácia e de fato foi constatado que as picadas eram dos percevejos. DEIXO AQUI O ALERTA: NÃO SE HOSPEDEM NESSE HOSTEL, NEM MESMO NOS QUARTOS PRIVATIVOS.

My Experience (Arrived on 9/27/2025): When I first arrived, there were a few issues. There was no Wi-Fi in my room, and worse, there was no electricity. I had booked a private room but couldn’t even charge my phone or power bank. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I spoke to someone at reception, and all he said was, “Yeah, we have some electricity problem right now.” Thankfully, the power came back around 1130PM. Second issue: I woke up feeling super itchy and found two bed bugs in my bed. 🙈 Since then, I haven’t been able to sleep properly because I keep worrying there might be more. That said, it is a great social hostel overall. Free light breakfast, most of the staff and housekeeping are friendly, and the location is excellent.

Giving 2 stars because I spent a weekend in room 26 (second floor) with some friends and at least 4 of us came back with bed bugs. We had a few bites during the stay but the big reveal was when we got home and all our things were infested 🙃. The hostel is really nice, the common areas are big and the outdoor patio is great, same with location.

Definitely has bed bugs…my body is covered with at least 20+ small bites!!

i LOVED staying here, but on my last day i learned from another person staying in my shared room that there was a terrible bedbug infestation on the floor below ours. sure enough, bites started showing up. and not just a few - a TON from just a couple of nights. when this issue was brought to the management they were extremely casual about it even though it seems like this has been an issue at the hostel for at least a month. i’m very disappointed because i otherwise had an amazing time and want to be able to recommend it, but can’t in good conscience until this get resolved. i wish i could get back the time i’ve spent combing through all my things since getting back. i had to throw out my favorite sweatshirt and a brand new piece of luggage for my peace of mind because they got infested. i seriously hope the hostel starts to take this issue seriously because i otherwise found the people, food, and location to be excellent 💔

Two words: bed bugs. The hostel is well located and the reception staff are friendly. However, it only took me 2 nights to notice the bedbugs in my private room. On bed sheet/pillow case, then saw a little one running around one the night table. The staff had to find me a room at another location overnight at 2am - walked there with all my luggage in the middle of the night (thank you Luis you were very helpful and nice, also for helping me wash my clothes under high heat). I was informed that the manager would be in, in the morning and that it should be no problem getting my stay reimbursed. I slept 3.5 hrs that night. A total nightmare. However, as I showed up in the morning, I was informed the manager was not there and would not be there, and that the issue will be resolved over email. I have sent 3 emails since then and have gotten no response, no reimbursement. Porto Spot Hostel has ghosted me. A total disappointment. I would highly recommend against staying at the Porto Spot Hostel until they have COMPLETELY resolved their bed bugs problem, because bed bugs being present in my private room only means there are infestations in other rooms as well. If you have stayed within the last few weeks: please wash and dry all your clothes under high heat and check all your luggage for bed bugs. If you already have a stay booked: consider cancelling/switching. Nobody deserves to stay in a room full of bedbugs and getting eaten alive, not to mention running the risk of bringing those back home and to loved ones. Disgusting. Never again.
