Staff (the old couple) was unprofessional and unfriendly! (especially the woman). The rooms were good but not well isolated (is next to a busy road, we could hear cars driving by all the time).
Staff was always there when you needed. Residence is comfortable and just a few steps away from the Metro Station that take you to Porto and Gaia Downtown
I know for some people having to leave your key at reception is jarring and confusing but in practice it's not too inconvenient as the hardworking hostess is always at reception at all hours. The location is great for access to a direct metro to/from the airport, although it's not right in the centre of the action. I would recommend this hotel if you're happy to use the metro and/or walk into the centre

A great location for visiting the walkable city of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia just over the river. It's clean and the reception is friendly. It's not luxurious but (a) you knew that when you saw the price and (b) you're going out first thing in the morning and coming back last thing at night, you came here to see Portugal, no the inside of a room. Only thing I would say to Expedia is, we got the non-smoking room we asked for but you describe the property as smoke free, and I am not convinced it is.
I have arrived 2 hours before the check in time, I approach very friendly to the receptionist and asked if I could check in earlier because my flight was on that time and there is no where else for me to go, that I could even pay a bit extra if necessary. Her answer”do you want me to get in to the room and wake people up after that smash them out for you to have a room on this time??!!, have you seen anywhere else check in being before 3pm?!! “
To be honest, I felt so bad that I couldn’t even talk!! I just answered “THANK YOU”
Apart of her, all went good after checked in.
But I won’t go back again to this Hostel.
This is a great little hotel, the bed was so comfortable. Staff were really friendly and there was a kettle in the room. All in all a pleasant stay.

Overall good but broken doors
Hotel was in a good location and nice for what we wanted. My only issue is the double door to the small balcony was swollen and didn't close. We closed the shutters and doors best possible but unfortunately could hear the traffic from the busy street all night.
RUN AS FAR AS YOU CAN FROM THIS PLACE!!!
So we’re a family of 4. We booked accommodation for a family room for €485 for 9 nights and upon arriving she demanded that we pay €7000 for two extra people! We said we’re happy to pay €15.85 per person per night (as what was stated on their website) but she continued to scream at us in Portuguese and tried haggling it down to €3600!
She laughed in our face when we said can we get our money back so we thought since we’ve already paid we might as well have our mum and brother stay and my partner and I find another hotel around the corner.
Every time you leave your hotel room you have to hand her the keys and buzz to come back in. On the first night she demanded my mum pay €28 to get her key back!
I cannot believe how this place is still allowed to be running. Seriously one the the worse humans you can ever encounter. Please do not stay here unless you are happy to get ripped off and abused.
Got to the reception and was meet by a women who didn’t speak very good English,Filled out all the forms and was told I needed to pay €6 euro bedroom fee..No problem went to pay with my card but they only took cash..No problem I will get to the cash machine and draw it out for you..All day and the following day i was meet with “You owe me €6 euro today” She was very rude and hounded me for this €6 even though I paid when booking £10 for another “tax”..The hotel it self stunk from every corner of cigarette smoke constantly! It was disgusting to the point I had to leave my window open all day and night to try and air the smell out! Didn’t work bearing in mind we was on a busy road so the noise was constant! The bathroom is so small you can’t move when showering if you can shower that is! The bed the sheets where damp and not dry! Your key you have to leave behind the reception if you leave so any one can have a nosey in your room! All in all a really bad experience and would never book here again.

On à séjourner dans cette établissement en couple. J'ai pas grand chose à redire c'était très bien. Personnel très fort sympathique nous reviendrons. Je recommande pour les futurs voyageurs.
Boa localização porém, reservei acreditando ser um hotel. Na verdade é uma hospedaria sem nenhum serviço. A senhora que nos atendeu foi bastante prestativa. O barulho a noite é insuportável por conta do trânsito e ambulâncias já que está próximo ao hospital
Det var en billig overnatning og som sådan ok.
Rengøringen var ikke super god og det lugtede af bl.a. af røg i værelserne. Der er en markant støj fra gadens biler.
Check-in og receptionen var helt okay.
No era lo que describe en el portal web, la atención desagradable

Esistono i citofoni e i sorrisi ai clienti.
Io direi a questa donna di mettere un citofono,non parlo di videocitofono "tecnologia troppo avanzata";non si può ogni volta che esci lasciare alla "reception"la chiave e poi quando torni,suonare ogni volta e aspettare anche 5 minuti,mai vista una cosa simile.La struttura è vicina al centro,alla metropolitana,ma la scocciatura che dimostra questa donna,la chiave lasviata ogni volta e il fetore che proviene dal bagno,rovinano l'aspetto positivo del loco.
