Our Story

Gaia-Porto Hostel is located in a privileged zone of the Historical Center of the City of Gaia, exactly in front of the magnificent City of Porto, separated only by the Douro River and joined by 5 bridges, crossed by several ways of transport (metro, bus, train, or by foot).

The house was built in the middle of the passed century, and was totally rehabilitated with the purpose to give the best response to the necessities of the guests, creating a familiar environment.

We take pride in offering high quality service with affordable prices right in the heart of Porto/Gaia. Our perfect location and wide range of services guarantee you a fantastic stay whether you're visiting for business or leisure.
