Owls Hostel Ribeiro in Porto offers a mixed experience, earning high marks for cleanliness but receiving criticism for comfort and security. The staff is frequently described as amazing and very cooperative, often going out of their way to help guests feel welcome. Reviewers consistently highlight the bathrooms as being modern, spotless, and well-maintained with easily adjustable water temperatures. However, sleep quality is a major point of contention; while some found the beds comfortable, others described the mattresses as extremely hard and the pillows as rock-like. Security concerns were also raised regarding the lack of locks on dorm doors and lockers that did not feel secure. Additionally, the hostel can be quite noisy due to street traffic and cramped conditions in the 6-person dormitories.
