Friendly staff, amazing location across from a church with azulejos (my room looked out onto it), and next to the main shopping strip. The building is charming, a bit worn but it didn't bug me at all. Bathroom kinda tight, but again, not a big deal, I would stay here again! It's the kind of budget accommodation you're happy to find.

The congers were very helpful about providing information regarding to places to go. Very cordial employees at the hotel. The location is good if you want to be in the center of everything. Unfortunately the street was quite busy, being a pedestrian street caused a lot of notices that you can heart until passed midnight. If you want to have a good night of sleep this might not be the place for you.

Well, for 2* hotel is very not bad. The view from my room was excellent, the small from the bathroom - not so much... Convenient to get to and is nicely placed for any other activity.

Too noisy at night
I had a horrible struggle trying to sleep here without earplugs as the windows do not fully seal (see photos), thus all of the street noise leaks in all night. To make things worse, nearby there was what I assume is a traffic signal that loudly beeped all night long. If staying here, bringing good earplugs is a must. That being said, I would not stay here again due to the noise issue. Otherwise, the room was OK as someone who doesn't mind modest accommodations but there were several other smaller, (for me) non-deal breaker issues with the room: 1. The WIFI was pretty weak and did not cover the entire room 2. The room is very tight, was OK for a solo traveler but wouldn't be nice with 2. Also, you can't sit straight on the toilet (have to sit on an angle since its so close to the wall). 3. The water temperature in the shower is incredibly hard to control. 4. Outside of the bathroom, I only had one power outlet accessible that wasn't blocked by heavy furniture, and even that one was behind the minifridge. 5. The double bed in my room was very short. At 6'1, I had to sleep diagonally on the bed. It has to be so short since the room is so narrow. 6. The door is pretty thin so hallway noise gets in. Luckily as a small hotel there's very little hallway traffic. Otherwise, the property is dependable, the staff were great, it was overall clean, and room service was as expected. The location is fantastic if you don't mind the 10-15 walk to the historic district.

The property location is perfect as it is close to all tourist attractions in Porto. However, their rooms are cramps and no heater. Bed in between door and toilet.

My stay in porto
I stayed here for 1 night in porto. Staff was very friendly. Price and location were excellent although i would have preferred an elevator to get up to the fourth flour 🙂 The room was clean, althougg nothing special - lack of soap and a hairdryer was a bit disappointing. But all in all a great stay for that value and a great location to explore porto!

Great location, room's could do with decorating
Great location for us, next to Bolhao metro (Ideal if arriving to Porto by train or going to the airport on the metro) We walked into the centre of Porto Our room looked out onto the tiled church opposite which was great. Rooms need sprucing up abit, our fridge had to be unplugged as it was so loud, but beds are comfortable.

Loose Hotels.Com reservations. BEWARE
We arrived on New Year's Eve and they did not have our Hotels.com reservation and were sold out. This was the second time this occurred in Portugal. They also stated that it was impossible that we had that rate (we had booked 7 months prior) because the rate was 3x that. They don't have an electronic system but write everything down by had and reservations get lost. BEWARE. They did find another hotel in their group for us to stay and honored the rate...it was a long, long walk away.

Functional and no-frills close to a metro stop
The hotel is at a good location, very close to a metro stop and shopping. My room was a few flights of stairs away in a different part of the building and what I consider to be functional, no-frills room. There was a bathtub but amenities was only 2 packs of facial soap and 2 packs of bath gel. For what I got, I think the room was a little expensive. It's not bad but probably could have found a better value somewhere else if I had the time to more research.

Great for getting around
Overall, my stay was brief but a very good one. A very central location in Porto meant that it was easy to get to the airport, using the metro. However, I had a little trouble finding the hotel from the bus station but it wasn't too much of a problem. The staff were efficient and welcoming and I enjoyed my stay.

The hotel is comfortable and superbly well located. A good choice for short stayings (2 to 3 nights) but not the best option to longer travels (more than 3 nights). Needs however to include breakfast option to ease the life of the tourist.

Charming little place
Perfect for sightseeing and relaxing in the city. You can walk everywhere. Take the metro from airport and get off at Balhoa stop. Blue tile church across the street makes an easy landmark to locate hotel. Small room but typical by Europe standards. Very clean and comfortable

Quick visit to Porto
This hotels location and price was the main reason for staying. Really easy to find and just opposite one of the metro stations. Lots of shops and restaurants close by. Room was cool, and comfortable. The bathroom was just right. The only slight issue is the noise from the main road if you have the windows open but easily fixed by closing them and putting the air-con on. And as its a old building, when sleeping in late you can hear the maids in the rooms above and below cleaning the rooms.
