A surprising time travel to the 70'. very authentic, even the staff was still working there. Value for money and style. Spartan but just right. A rare find!

1-night trip

8/10

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

10/10

Area might not be the best (although metro is close and it's about 20 minutes walking to reach the center, no big deal). Good service and 0 complaints.
3-night trip

10/10

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.
4-night trip

8/10

Property is located fairly conveniently within walking distance to a metro station. Room was clean but old and poorly sound proofed (lots of noise from cars outside and neighbors). Staff was friendly, and the included breakfast was decent. For the relatively low price compared to other hotels near the center of Porto, I would recommend it.
