Rosalma Hostel Porto presents a stark contrast between its physical charm and its current maintenance standards. On the positive side, many guests enjoy the 19th-century decor, the spacious kitchen, and the helpfulness of the front desk staff. The location is also a major draw, being situated near shopping and transit. However, the hostel is currently plagued by severe reports of bed bug infestations. Multiple reviewers describe finding pests in their beds across different rooms, with some claiming the issue has persisted for over a year. There is also significant frustration directed at management for allegedly re-renting infested beds and refusing refunds. While the building and social areas are attractive, the recurring hygiene issues are a critical concern for many travelers.
