Our verdict
Being Porto is a calm, family-run base in the old town, a couple of minutes from the river. Its Hostelworld atmosphere score (8.3) is lower than its 9.2 overall, which fits a hostel that sells itself on a tranquil stay rather than socialising. Plan your arrival: check-in closes at 23:00 and breakfast is not included.
