10/10 Exceptional

Parking underground was a bonus. Good beds and fairly quiet room considering that hotel is close to historic district. Good breakfast.

Value for money

Excellent value if you can accept the compromises. The room was old, but clean. The main issue was nois. Everything in the building was noisy. People taking a shower or flushing the toilet just resonates from other rooms. Air conditioning was also really loud. Add to that all the noises from the neighborhood. Nevertheless, I slept like a baby for 4 nights here after spending the days in and around Porto. Breakfast is very basic but included, so again you can't beat the price. Location: Don't let the distance from the center fool you. It's really fine with the metro. And all downhill if you decide to walk to the center. Of course, the way back is trickier.

Good budget hotel

Nice and friendly, close to the metro. Breakfast very limited could almost say poor. Wifi and cleaning worked well and staff were friendly.
Ulf, 4-night trip

Clean, friendly staff, close to the city. The rooms were nice, bed was comfy but the pillows are a little lumpy. Great for the price.
Jo, 2-night trip

Lovely hotel

Lovely hotel! Excellent service, everyone was very friendly. Only a short 30 minute walk to the centre of town. The hotel has a lot of charm and was very clean and in a quiet area. Highly recommended!

Great Place to stay!

I was in Porto by myself, very good hotel for the price and service. They were so kind to help with parking my rental car in the garage since it could be tricky for some people. I also forgot my toothbrush and they were so nice to help me out with that too. Close to city centre and subway!
Amar, 4-night trip

Loud from the street. Tough hard beds. Broken electrica
Jonathan, 1-night trip

Not an amazing place and my bed (twin room) was a little uncomfortable. But excellent value for money and included breakfast. Would stay again for the price I paid.
