We loved the hostel. The staff was great, the rooms amazing and the terasse is so beautiful. The overall design of the hostel is really nice. We did everything by foot from there and the train station/metro is a one minute walk. We were at the fourth floor so the view was really cool too. We recommend one hundred percent!

Stayed for two nights last August before walking Camino Portugese. Had a lovely stay, staff friendly and helpful. Rooms offer privacy even with other occupants. I am older lady travelling by myself for the first time but felt very comfortable and safe in this hostel. Hope to stay there again in the future.

It was raining while we were there but there is a rooftop patio that would be wonderful in better weather. It's on a hill so there was a great view out our... More

I recently stayed at Tattva on a visit to Porto as part of my travels and loved it - stayed for 4 nights but could have stayed a lot longer. I paid about 11 EUROS a night and stayed in a 10 bed dorm - don't normally like big shared rooms but there it wasn't a problem - the rooms... More

We stayed here for 3 nights and would definitely recommend this place to our friends. The rooms were modern, clean and comfortable and the free continental breakfast in the mornings was definitely a bonus! The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and spoke excellent english. Great value for money!

Thank you to Daniella for the enlightening city tour!! Your knowledge of this city and for that matter the history of Portugal answered so many questions. The fact that you took time after working all day to show us around and teach us about Porto was beyond what I would expect of anyone, clearly your passion goes beyond making people... More
