Thanks I’ll check it out!I stayed at House of Sandeman. Loved it. Lively and quiet at the same time. Just by the river.
That’s one that hasn’t got back to me. Do you know what time they close reception?Have you tried Gallery Hostel?
There website says they have 24hr reception. Try booking a bed, then askThat’s one that hasn’t got back to me. Do you know what time they close reception?
To clarify, they have both a high-end hotel as well as a pilgrim hostel. It’s only the latter where you get a bunk that looks like a modern wine bottle storage rack! Definitely uniqueI stayed at House of Sandeman. Loved it. Lively and quiet at the same time. Just by the river.
That looks a real hoot, I’ll get onto them tomorrow. Thanks!To clarify, they have both a high-end hotel as well as a pilgrim hostel. It’s only the latter where you get a bunk that looks like a modern wine bottle storage rack! Definitely unique
I think that you mean hostel, not pilgrim hostel. As far as I know there are only two hostels in Porto that are, as Gronze says "orientado a los peregrinos." And according to Booking.com, check in time ends at midnight.To clarify, they have both a high-end hotel as well as a pilgrim hostel.
Which 2 are those please?I think that you mean hostel, not pilgrim hostel. As far as I know there are only two hostels in Porto that are, as Gronze says "orientado a los peregrinos." And according to Booking.com, check in time ends at midnight.
It looks like Gronze/booking might be a better source than Wise Pilgrim. Thanks for the info.Which 2 are those please?
The first two on the Gronze link.Which 2 are those please?
Hi everyone,
I’m new to this site and about to undertake my first Camino.
Can anyone recommend any hostels in Porto that admit pilgrims later in the evening. My plane doesn’t land until 21:05, so I guess by the time I’ve cleared the airport and got into town it’s going to be 22:00. I’ve been firing off emails all day to hostels listed on Wise Pilgrim, with so far, with either negative replies, or more commonly no response at all. Regards Tim
Hi Tim, I recommend Rivoli Cinema Hostel. They have very good location and are well connected with the airport. The price includes the breakfast. If you decide to stay in this hostel, I suggest you book the bed using their website not Booking.com.Hi everyone,

This albergue will not be open when Tim arrives there.Hi Tim
12 days ago I stayed at
https://www.gronze.com/portugal/oporto/porto/albergue-peregrinos-do-porto
I'm surprised if you didn't get a reply to your email. Miguel is the hospitalero who is very helpful and interested in the camino, particularly in Porto - and we talked a bit about the St James Anglican church, about 15 minutes walk away, and why it is hidden behind a high wall...
When I stayed, there were a couple of volunteers living in, and they weren't observing a strict 10pm curfew. I'd say that forewarned they'd be happy to let in someone who has prebooked, up to midnight.
Miguel operates quite relaxed eligibility rules, so for instance a friend was able to stay 2 nights before starting their camino. And I was able to stay there on my way back from Santiago, though no longer walking.
The albergue has quite a strict policy aimed at bed bug prevention, where you leave your pack and belongings in a locker in the hall, and then carry only your essentials to the dormitory. It also negates packing noise in the dorm. I was impressed.
The albergue is well located for the Metro and airport, being 3 minutes walk from the Carolina Michaelis stop, which has a direct train running on Line E to/from the airport.
There's plenty of good food places 10-15 minutes' walk away. Including a Taiwanese street food and bubble tea place (Bao's) that hit the spot for me.
Albergue de Pilgrims Porto. Great place. Ask for Miguel, Bernardo, or Oleana.Hi everyone,

Hi Terenia, although the website says it is only open for registrations until 8pm, my sense (from staying there recently) is that it is worth sending an email requesting late arrival. I think that it is quite likely that Miguel would be willing to make an exception to the rule, after finding out the particular circumstances in an email conversation.This albergue will not be open when Tim arrives there.
Hi Tom, Terenia, Curiously this was the only one that did reply! Telling me that late arrivals were not permitted “in order not to disturb sleeping pilgrims” oh well, maybe next time. I’ve gone with the first suggestion and booked a night at the Sandeman place. Cheers!Hi Terenia, although the website says it is only open for registrations until 8pm, my sense (from staying there recently) is that it is worth sending an email requesting late arrival.

Last year we stayed 2 days at the Port Wine Hostal in Porto after coming down from Santiago by bus. Not an albergue that was set up for Pilgrims, but was a nice place. Was 4 bunk beds in our room and a bath with shower.Hi everyone,

And it lists the check in hours.Booking lists most of the private hostels discussed here — even if you prefer to book using other methods, it’s great for reference
I just booked this for my first night - May 7th. Thank you! How far is it from the Cathedral, if you recall?I stayed in the hostel - and slept in the wine bottle storage rack! Such a treat.
