Beautiful place,perfectly situated. The staff are friendly and efficient. Breakfast is great (though the coffee included with breakfast isn't so good). My only suggestion would be to set the room temperature so guests can't tamper with it, one of the occupants cranked it up to sauna levels, which is neither customer nor eco-friendly. Otherwise, it was close to perfect and I'd stay again

I will definitely come back!! The staff members were really friendly. I have got a welcome drink on the first night which was really nice. Breakfast variety was plenty.
The design of the room reflects the winery itself. There is plenty of place to store things. The good thing is there is a door separate the bedding area and bathrooms. There is 4 bathrooms to share in a 14-bed dorm and i never need to wait for a second to use it.

Sandeman’s is the place to stay in Porto to experience this beautiful city! It’s a cool hip hostel that caters to pilgrims walking the Camiño de Santiago. Excellent!

Absolutely surpassed my expectations. I stayed in a suite and the room was nicer than most hotels for an incredible price. Outstanding view. Staff was friendly and remembered me every morning (tho I was only there 2 nites)! Breakfast was good and online ordering was easy. The record player and records were a great added touch. I did a tour of the cellars there as well and the hostel provided discount tickets. Such a great visit. I’d absolutely come back!

A really perfect place that I would stay at again and again. The value for money here is incredible, as it includes a great breakfast in the morning, great beds and showers and very friendly service. The loaction is amazing, walking distance to enjoy Porto and the staff are helpful with recommendations. I have been traveling around Europe for a while and will not soon forget my stay at this place.

My first time visiting Porto. It is a cute little town. Hotel was very nice and quiet. Welcoming, professional staff. I was traveling solo. Enjoyed my breakfast every morning😎.
There’s lots to do around there, wine tasting, shopping.. etc. If I ever find myself in Portugal/Porto again, I'll def be coming back here.
Thank you!

Chose to stay at Sandeman at end of my Camino. Probably one of the nicest places I stayed. The sleeping pods are brilliant- very comfortable bedding and a good size with high ceilings plus a light and plug. The pod itself is quite roomy.
The location is good across the river from Porto but access to the Metro is simple but does require an uphill climb!
The breakfast, welcome drinks, snacks and common area is brilliant.
