Nice property, comfortable, clean, there's a bar where you can get food and drink. Only thing I'd say is close the windows or the mosquitoes will get in
This was such a cute hotel. Very well decorated and clean and comfortable. We were aboe to check-in early so we were super grateful for that. Location was great as well. I would love to stay here again if ever back in Porto
Wonderful staff and service here. And any recommendations for the things actually worth seeing and doing in the area were always spot on.
I went with a solo room option, and highly recommend it.
I like the place and its friendly environment. It is very close to all the best attractions in Porto and walking around is very easy and safe. Employees are respectful, friendly and very attentive. The garden is great for friends to mingle and chat.
They had activities and a bar for the guests. Everyone was friendly. The dorm rooms were quiet, insulated from the sounds outside and had air conditioning.

Location is fantastic, walking distance to the centre and surrounded by restaurants and bars. However, breakfast was very poor, the room did not have proper hot water for showering and finally the rooms are located around a bar that stays open until 2am, so if you wish to go sleeping before that time you will need to bear the noise. Overall, I found the property overpriced for the actual offer and facilities.
Overall this place was amazing—location, staff friendliness, great garden bar out back, etc. The only issue was cleanliness—the shelves in my bunk were dirty with some sticky liquid and the bathroom felt kinda gross all the time. Other than that, I’d stay here again and again.
Selina Porto was centrally located and it was easy to access all of the top spots in Porto from here. The layout is somewhat troubling because it is difficult for guests to rest while the restaurant is full. However, this was not too much of a burden.
Super cool hostel and more than just a hostel! Had lovely welcome drinks and so many optional excursions you can book with them if you want. Really great for solo travelling or traveling with people. They had a bar there and restaurant with lovely outside sitting area. Really nicely decorated and the rooms had good comfortable beds and curtains for privacy. The only downside is the bathrooms didn’t get serviced and we ran out of toilet paper a lot (8 bed dorm). Other than that it was awesome! They also let me leave my luggage there free of charge on the day I checked out so I could keep exploring longer. The hostel is good walking distance form the train station and the metro from the airport.

We stayed in a private bedroom and it was pretty good. The room is small but has a lot of storage space. The room was basic but clean. The location of this property is the big plus, we were able to walk everywhere. One thing to note, it is loud. The rooms are facing the bar/patio area and it does get loud. They were hosting a private event, a wedding, the first night we got there so it was even louder than normal. We had read about it and were prepared with earplugs, which solved the issue. I’d definitely recommend to bring earplugs for your stay. Other than that, this property is a good option.
The hotel is really cool very modern. The staff was beyond friendly and helpful. Location is great. My issue is with the room.
I share a room three girls and another guy and I always have the same experience. This is the fourth time this happens to me women leave their dirty panties in the door knob. There was another dirty panty in the only sink to brush my teeth which I had to use the shower, and there was an old dirty pansy in, the bra in the hangers where we were supposed to hang the towels not to talk about all the long hair in the shower and in the sink beyond disgusting it’s always the same issue when there’s more women in the room then guys I never see guys on the where around or anything is really interesting how this ladies Are a little more disorganized

This is a hostel. Did not know before booking this place. Expedia should specify that this is a HOSTEL. I would have never booked this if I knew it was a hostel. The bed was broken and super loud every time I moved. Heater did not work and it was so loud as if the windows were open. No insulation at all. And the bathroom was dirty. Bed was dirty as if they did not change the bedsheets. Had to ask for extra flat sheets to put on top. Room was cute and spacious, but wish it was cleaner and the heater worked and there was some way to make the room less noisy. Great location though.

The room was way too small (I was in a dorm of 4). Bunkbeds were separated by a hallway of not even a meter, lockers were in front of of the sink and the bathroom, making it impossible for 2 people to prepare at the same time in the morning. Not even possible to put luggages under the bed. Thanks the room had the AC because there is absolutely no air circulating. Could hear people and sometimes music coming from the bar way past midnight. Otherwise, room was clean. The common kitchen is not the best (no toaster, but a blender??). Only one fridge (and half is for the cooler), that is packed with food. Managed to put some stuff in it and got robbed. The bar is nice but I would like more spaces for guests vs bar customers ; felt like I had to buy something just to sit outside.
I booked Selina for my stay in Portugal because I was so impressed with the Panamá locations. But Porto was just meh.
Pros: location was great and walkable. Lots of great restaurants nearby. Laundromat nearby. Nice to have a cafe/bar right in Selina. The common areas look hip and trendy. Room had lots of storage. Staff were fine. Nothing was dirty.
Cons: We booked a “large double” and paid $100 more just to find out it’s the same thing as a standard double, so don’t waste your money “upgrading”. If there was a difference, it certainly wasn’t noticeable and staff told us they didn’t have a “large double” other than suites. The cleaning staff don’t come unless you put out your sign, but two of our five days they didn’t come anyway, so we had to request it from front desk staff the third day. The room has a wall that’s just a window which looks nice in pictures but really has no use in practice since you’ll always want it closed for privacy. Despite staying in January and having barely any other guests around, there must be a nightclub nearby because it was still very loud at night. Can’t imagine how loud it would’ve been if there was nice enough weather for the bar on the Selina patio to be operating. Worst part was that there was no hot water for our last two days which made showers painful.
Price was similar to hotels- I will probably just stay at a hotel next time.
