Good neighborhood- plenty of bakeries & restaurats around. Close enough to Metro station. Away from the downtown Porto tourist crush. Walls were a bit “thin” but all our neighbours went to bed @ a similar time wasn’t affected to much.

5 minutes walk to Metro station that can take you to major attractions. Some small restaurants around, location wise is alright. Hotel is old, water pressure is great and A/C works well, acceptable for short stay. Front desk person spoke very minimal English but tried his best to help. Consider the price it is aright.

Great value Porto hotel

Traditional two star hotel within walking distance of central Porto. We ere able to get a space in the underground carpark which was an added plus. Staff were excellent and very friendly. rooms a bit dated, but it sort of adds to the charm. Simple breakfast offered, but exceptional value

It’s a family owned hotel & their attention to detail & providing good service to their guests is evident. Unlike many of the newer, more modern hotels, the rooms are spacious & very comfortable. The biggest appeal to me is that the hotel isn’t located in the heart of the tourist area.

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!

Absolutely amazing! I recommend it 200%! Lovely staff, clean room, and great location. Everyone was so kind — my charger didn’t work at the hotel and a very nice employee even lent me her own. They also gave me great advice to discover delicious local food that wasn’t too expensive. Thank you so much for this experience! I’m sure that if I come back to Porto, I’ll definitely stay at this hotel again. Obrigado, see you soon!
