Ulf, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Jo, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Lovely hotel

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!
Caitlin, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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!
Amar, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

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.
L M, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Bryan, 4-night trip

6/10 Okay

Cheap and cheerful i guess.

Loud from the street. Tough hard beds. Broken electrica
Jonathan, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
