I will be in Porto for 3 nights prior to beginning my Camino April 14th to 17th. Forum members have provided recommendations for Albergue De Peregrinos and for Gallery Hostel. Any thoughts you have as I decide between the two would be appreciated. Thanks

Hostels that are not pilgrim specific can be quite noisy, with lots of young people in town for good partying. I learned my lesson in Barcelona. I stayed two nights in the pilgrim albergue in Senora de la Hora. The hopitalero couple is lovely. The albergue is on the metro line that goes from the center of town to the airport, so that is convinient.

I stayed in the albergue de peregrinos last March. Very basic but adequate. At 5 users who can complain.. No one else was there that night. It is in a small separate building behind a seminary. You are given a key which you need to return in the morning. It is off the beaten track and it took me a while to find it.

Thanks for responding. I wonder if it's still the same because folks are saying this one is only about 6 or 8 months old?
