Great location, incredible staff. I've stayed in selinas in South and central America and this is very similar. Kind of luck an up-market hostel/hotel for millennials. Good vibes, good music nice drinks and really helpful staff.

This is the second Selina I've stayed at. They have a hotel or hostel option. I chose a private hotel room with a private bathroom. The reason I chose the Selina was that I had an awesome experience at their location in Cusco, Peru. I had a similar experience. It is a great place to meet travellers from all over the world. They have a central patio that has a bar and restaurant. Every night people of all ages, from every continent hang out there. I met some great people there. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I booked a 6 bridges riverboat cruise at the front desk, which was very reasonably priced. There were other options as well. From the hotel it is a quick walk to the river and to the center of town. Porto is pretty small town so it is easy to walk around and see the city. There were excellent bars and restaurants very close to the Selina. They even have a tattoo parlor, which I did not take advantage of, but it is an interesting amenity that might appeal to a lot of people. I would definitely stay at the Selina in Porto again, and in other cities around the world.

Really nice beds (like really nice) and the staff was wonderfull! I made a lot of friends there, as it was a very social hostel 😊 Really nice with the welcome drink to meet people, and the free walking tour worked as a great tool to chat woth a bunch of new people 😍 I really enjoyed Porto and the hostels placement was really good, i did not use public transportation one time while i was there because of the central location of the hostel.

Best hostel we have stayed in. Central garden & seating area was great particularly when we had a small room it made all the difference. Bedding changed everyday was excellent. Location was fantastic. Reception staff were v polite and helpful but perhaps improved training, didn't go out of their way to find out answers when didn't have info to hand. A welcome drink in price would have been nice. Not the cheapest hostel. We would come back.

Great location, rustic / hip vibe, large open area in the courtyard with a bar. We had the Suite room, which is apparently the largest, and it was nice indeed. Lots of light. Friendly staff, overall a good experience.

Selina is the cleanest , newest, highest quality hostel one can find. Location is great in safe neighborhood with lots of cafes and walking distance to everything. The bed is so comfy like a 5 star hotel and has privacy with curtains. Great huge showers. Awesome people , met lots of great people and enjoyed the pub crawl and walking tour and Douro tour with them!

Best location out of any hostel I have stayed at - very lively area with countless places to eat, drink, lounge, or walk around. The bar in the centre of the hostel was very unique and provided numerous areas to sit while having a drink or some food. The room was a very good size with comfy beds that had curtains for plenty of privacy.

I loved the location, everything is so near, Galerie de Paris to go partying, great restaurants and bars to hang out, all the monuments etc... It's really top! Hostel is cool, people are relaxed, staff is also very motivating though it depends on a person, some waiters were really easygoing not to say uniterested...I loved the music in the bar, really good house music.
