Andarilho Oporto Hostel

hostel? the lack of a better name and a listing requirement we were forced to belong to this group. Actually we are a group of friends who have always had the habit of traveling and sleeping in friends' houses and also to receive their friends at home.

The idea of a tourism based on a type of accommodation where the family kind of comfort is the most important characteristic. a place where there are no employees, and are the owners themselves, who receive the guests, setting the rules of operation very similar to our own house, making the environment very much the reflection of our personality and genuine way of life in this city, where we are welcoming you.

hoping that each guest will identify a bit with us and the with the reason why we think it's a good idea to visit Porto and live a little of what we live here.

Wonderful for all backpackers, in the Oporto city centre, Andarilho is a low profile hostel, perfect for the independent traveller and small groups.

We offer you a friendly intimate atmosphere in a early 20th century building aura. With a big living room, a fully equipped kitchen and a 200 m2 garden Andarilho is the best place for you to meet other travellers.

the so called civilized world is apparently doomed to survive counting on the success of the quality of its services. Globalization is the key to a future that by democratizing the access to the general right to tourism. This would be a very promising idea if all this globalization and tourism concepts were not the usual instruments of corporate control of what should be a healthy and productive cultures exchange.
so we watch the blooming of new packages, new names and types of tourism: low cost, the hostel,charm and design tourism, etc..
our idea is to achieve a good fusion between your rest / fun and get to know our local culture, and we wanted to do that within your area of interest or work so we could get a small taste of what your culture has to offer. thus making your visit to our city not only a tour but also a cultural interaction, deviation from the normal tour of one-way visits.
