Republica Boutique Hostel

The room is very spacious, with very high ceilings and private bathroom. The addition of a desk and a reading chair is a nice touch. The bed was also very comfortable.

You can hear all the noise from the street, since the walls are thin, and the windows aren't double panned either. The Saturday i was there, there were two drunk people at 5 am speaking right outside the window, and it was so loud that even with loop earplugs, they woke me up. I had to step outside to ask them to move away. The lighting in the room could be beter as well, and the room could do with a small reading lamp in one of the night stands

We really enjoyed having a private room with a small terrace. The staff were very kind and helpful, and we really appreciated being able to leave our luggage at the property until the evening at no extra cost, which allowed us to explore Porto comfortably before our departure.

Some parts of the accommodation, such as the doors and some of the chairs in the room and on the terrace, were a little worn and could use some maintenance. The beds were not the most comfortable either. Overall, it was a suitable option for a one-night stay.

The hostel has a large kitchen where you can cook. The hot water in the shower was excellent and perfectly warm. Also, the staff were very kind to let us store our luggage for free. Thank you!

The check-in instructions were very unclear. When we arrived, we rang the bell and called the property, but there was no response or answer. We felt completely helpless standing outside for about 10 minutes, not knowing how to get in. Fortunately, a guest couple helped us and guided us to the next building to check in. They really need to provide clearer instructions. For the room condition, they didn't replace the used coffee cups, leaving the dirty ones in the room, which made us wonder if the room had even been properly cleaned. Also, since it was "Happy Friday," the neighboring building was having a party with very loud singing.
