Impressive room with own bathroom. Friendly owners and helpful staff. Good location near train station and historical center. Basic but delicious breakfast with homemade cake. Would recommend.

I stayed at Being for 3 days while exploring the city. The staff went above and beyond, waiting for me when my flight was delayed and offering me sweets upon arrival. The hostel has a charming character and the beds were clean and comfortable. The breakfast was simple, yet delicious, with quality ingredients like fresh bread, ham, and cheese. The kitchen and living room provided a relaxed atmosphere, and the view from my room on the 4th floor was stunning. Highly recommended!
I recommend this hotel.

the friendly and helpful staff went above and beyond to ensure I had a great experience. They even helped me book a rental car to explore the area. the hostel itself is beautifully decorated and located right in the downtown area. the rooms were clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated. I would definitely recommend Being Porto to anyone looking for a great hostel experience in the heart of the city. Cons: Nothing to be said. 😊.

The staff is amazing, including the guys at reception. The breakfast is nice, with homemade jams and cakes. The rooms have high ceilings and shuttered windows. The hostel is clean and the location is convenient.

The hostel was recently refurbished and had a nice, clean, and well-decorated property. The staff were friendly and helpful, making the stay enjoyable. the location of the hostel offered a beautiful view of the city and river, which was a great advantage.
Some of the other guests were disruptive, with one sleeping in the corridor and another being drunk and snoring loudly. This affected the overall sleep quality during the stay.

The staff at the hostel/hotel were incredibly helpful and friendly. They went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable and even held my luggage for me while I was away. The breakfast provided was simple but delicious, with fresh bread, ham, cheese, and fruit. Additionally, the location of the hotel was perfect, as it was centrally located and within minutes of various attractions.
One downside of the hotel was the noise from the street outside. The windows were not soundproof, so it was quite difficult to sleep with the noise of the busy street.

I absolutely loved my stay at Being Porto! As a solo traveler, the friendly and helpful staff made me feel right at home. The hotel's excellent location provided a beautiful view of the city and river from my room. The facilities were clean and the breakfast, especially the delicious pumpkin jam, was a great start to my day. Suitable for couples, friends, and solo travelers alike, I highly recommend this hotel.
Would recommend this hotel.
