It was centrally located. The staff was very friendly and professional. It was very affordable. Their breakfast offered gluten-free bread. There was a lot of street construction in the neighborhood.

A nice small friendly hotel
To start with I was allowed to check in slightly earlier which was a bonus. The rooms were fine - basic but adequate and the bathroom was clean & shower superb! Breakfast was good and the staff were friendly and a big Thankyou to the ladies on reception who helped me purchase my Boavista match tickets online . The metro station Aliados is 5 mins walk away max. A bit hilly walking back from the river but I would definitely recommend this for a low cost stay

Weekend break in Porto
The hotel is in a quiet side street, just off one of the main squares in Porto. It is really handy to walk to nearly all the main tourist attractions, although we hadn’t realised Porto was so hilly. Very close to a couple of railway stations. Receptionists were very friendly and spoke excellent English. Rooms ok, beds comfy, where we were it was very quiet. Breakfast is help yourself. Good range of breads, pastries, yoghurts, cereals, not much cooked and a bit basic. Didn’t eat dinner there as there are hundreds of places to eat. Very enjoyable stay, lots to do in Porto.

The hotel is in a historical building and it has got very interesting architectural. The location of the hotel is great. It’s close to many restaurants and historical sites. The staff were fantastic. There were lot of selection of fresh fruits and hot food for breakfast. It will definitely recommend this hotel.

We stayed at hotel internacional for three nights. The location is amazing if you wanna do sightseeing since you can walk everywhere. The room was small but very nice. There was a bit of mould in the ceiling of the bathroom which could be easily removed. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast was good.

Would definitely chose this one again
A perfect place to stay in downtown Porto! Right off the main plaza but actually very quiet. Conveniently close to everything we wanted to see. (Parking (we chose the public lot to save a few bucks) was a few blocks away but once our car was there we walked everywhere). The hotel restaurant looked good but there were so many great options nearby that we didn’t have the chance to try it. Service was friendly and helpful

The hotel staff were exceedingly helpful. The building inside is very quaint, however the rooms and breakfast are basic, but clean. Our room was very small, but we were moved to another room without any hesitation. The location is great, plenty of transport links and easy walking distance.

Hotel was in a very good location. So close to everything - we only used the metro to get to and from the airport. Staff were very friendly and the breakfast was lovely. Room was quite small and basic (no fridge) but comfortable. Bit noisy if you keep the windows open but was ok for what we needed.

The hotel is very quaint. I love that it’s small and hosts just a few people at a time. The decor is beautiful in the common areas. The room was perfect for one person, but would have been a bit too small if there were two of us. Breakfast was satisfactory and had good choices. The restroom door in my room did not close all the way. It would’ve been an issue if there was more than just me. The shower head sprays all over the place (in and out of the shower, but can probably be easily fixed (room 313). Also, the window did not open properly and at times the room got quite a bit humid. The bed was comfortable and I appreciate the options in pillow types. The location is perfect and just walking distance from literally everything.

Very centrally located, near all attractions, shops, bars and Sao Bento train station. The standard double room we had was very, very small but otherwise in good condition. Due to the minimal size of the room, the air-conditioning blows straight onto the bed, which is not ideal. Breakfast had little choice and not great quality. Staff stuck tightly to the 2pm check in time, although I'm sure that rooms must have been available when we arrived at 12.45 pm. For the heavily discounted price we paid this hotel was alright, but their standard room rate is in no relation to the quality.

Nice hotel in the center
The hotel is close to the Sao Bento train station, and to all main attractions in Porto. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is plentiful, although there was little variety day to day. The room is good size and with good windows that completely shut out street noise. Floors are creaky, making it hard for me to move around while my wife was sleeping. Plumbing is new and smooth, but the shower controls were a little confusing at first.

Parking is not park of the hotel it’s down the street. Felt like a very safe location but had police stationed right at the corner 24/7. Room was clean and Nice. The beds were firm. It was a nice hotel, very centrally located. Easy to moderate walk to most things.

Disappointing stay
Just stayed here for two nights in Nov. 2017. Despite some reviews hinting at the state of the hotel, I was not prepared. An old hotel isn’t bad, but this hotel just needs a facelift. The bed was incredibly uncomfortable. I could feel every single spring and there was absolutely a slope in it based on where previous body weight has been. I had to sleep diagonally in the bed so I didn’t feel like I was going to roll off. The white tile in the bathroom looks stained and dusty, and there were spots of black mold above the shower on the ceiling and the surrounding molding. The air conditioning couldn’t be used because it gave off a pretty gross moldy smell as well. The caulking and grout in the shower were stained black with mold and soap scum, and the faucet on the sink was placed so far away from the actual sink, that it was impossible to use the sink without flooding the entire counter and bathroom. Everything else just looked like it needed to be replaced, from the lobby to the actual room. Really kind staff and a cute BASIC little breakfast, and the hotel was in a great location, but other than that... I would not recommend at all. I know you get what you pay for (and I did book last minute and got a very cheap rate), but this seemed to much worse than the 3.8 star rating the hotel has on here... unless I just have very high expectations!
