    We had a wonderful stay at Sweet Swell in Porto. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our time there. The newly renovated house had a beautiful design, with wooden floors and high ceilings that added a touch of elegance. The room we stayed in was spacious, clean, and had all the amenities we needed. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the bus and metro station, as well as the city centre. We also loved the communal kitchen and living room area in the back, a great spot to relax and socialize. we highly recommend this hotel for a fantastic stay in Porto.

    I couldn't believe the value for money at Sweet Swell! The room was spacious, clean, and brand new, with a private bathroom that was also pristine. The central location was perfect for exploring the city on foot, and the staff, especially Miguel, were incredibly helpful and gave great recommendations. Plus, the common areas and garden were lovely places to relax and meet other guests.

    The hotel breakfast menu could use a little improvement - maybe adding some more variety would be nice.

    The staff, especially Miguel, were incredibly helpful and gave me great recommendations on what to see and do in the city. The room I stayed in was spacious and modern, with a comfortable bed and a big bathroom. The communal kitchen and cute little garden were also a nice touch. The location was convenient, with a Metro station nearby and the city center within walking distance. Despite being on a budget, the price was very affordable. I highly recommend this hostel for a pleasant stay in Porto.

    I had an amazing stay at Sweet Swell in Porto! The pictures really don't do justice to how beautiful and new everything is. The room was sparkling clean and spacious, with a lovely view of the garden. The common kitchen and garden were also very clean and tidy. Our host, Miguel, was incredibly welcoming and helpful, providing great recommendations for attractions and restaurants. He even became our surf tutor! Highly recommended for surf classes, especially for beginners. Excellent value for money and convenient location.

    I would recommend this hotel.

    The facility itself is wonderful, with a minimalist style that we adored. The host was incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. The kitchen and living room were great additions to the hostel. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable, with privacy and individual power sockets. The staff was helpful in providing directions to nearby laundromats and printing facilities. Having luggage storage available would have been convenient. we highly recommend Sweet Swell for a great backpacking experience.

    Sweet Swell exceeded our expectations in every way. The beautifully renovated house had a warm and inviting atmosphere, with stunning wooden floors and high ceilings. Our double room was spacious and immaculately clean, with a comfortable bed and a luxurious private bathroom equipped with a rain shower. The communal kitchen was fully equipped and the small garden provided a delightful spot to relax. The hostel's location was perfect, just a few minutes' walk from the bus and metro station, and a short stroll to the city centre. We were impressed by the helpful tips and recommendations provided by the hosts, who were friendly and attentive throughout our stay. It's worth mentioning that this hostel was the cleanest we have ever experienced, which added to our overall satisfaction. Despite a slightly firmer bed than we're used to and the absence of laundry facilities, Sweet Swell is an exceptional choice for anyone visiting Porto. we highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again.

    The room was absolutely charming, with a cozy atmosphere that was perfect for our romantic escape. The cleanliness was top-notch and the bed was incredibly comfortable, making it difficult to leave the room. the location was ideal, with many attractions within walking distance and easy access to public transportation. We also appreciated the helpful staff, who provided us with useful information about the city and its activities.

    We found that there were only two toilets available in the common areas, which led to long waiting times. there was a window in our room that faced the street, allowing both noise and smells from cars to enter.

    Our stay at Sweet Swell was fantastic. The rooms were clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated. The location was perfect, just a short walk from all the attractions and close to the metro. Miguel, our host, was amazing. He provided us with a list of things to do in the city and was always available to help. The price we paid for the quality of service was unbeatable. The communal kitchen and living space were also great. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting the city.

    I had an amazing stay at this centrally located hostel. The room I stayed in was large, clean, and extremely quiet. The private bathroom was brand new and spotless. Check-in was a breeze, and Miguel provided me with a list of must-see attractions in the city. The price I paid was surprisingly low considering the high quality service I received. The whole experience was affordable and enjoyable. The hostel even had a beautiful garden where I could relax and meet other friendly guests. The kitchen and living room were immaculate, and I appreciated the privacy offered by the layout of the hostel. The host went above and beyond to ensure I had a pleasant stay and was always available to answer any questions. I highly recommend this place to solo travelers or those traveling with others who want to explore the city on foot and enjoy a peaceful night's sleep.
