Rooms are much smaller than they look in the pictures. I am 6’2 and barely fit in the bathroom. Some rooms have no windows. Besides that, it is a very interesting option for a cheap hotel in a very central area. Would go there again.
I'd like to start my review by acknowledging that I was somewhat inattentive when booking this hotel. It can be challenging to know what to look for when you're unfamiliar with a place. After considering several options, I believe I made a mistake with my choice. When booking this hotel, it's crucial to pay attention to the room size and the view. Rooms with a city or garden view have windows or even a balcony, while rooms without a view are on the top floor and only have a small window in the ceiling. Additionally, there's no elevator in the hotel, making it difficult for many guests to reach their rooms, especially with luggage. I strongly advise against taking the breakfast option. The food was very poor, and the coffee was tasteless. For 7-10 euros, you can enjoy a delicious breakfast at one of the many nearby cafes. I particularly recommend walking a bit to Hakko Cafe, which offers excellent breakfasts. On the positive side, the room and shower were clean, with daily housekeeping. The air conditioning was effective, and the hotel has a fantastic location, within walking distance of all the beautiful places in Porto.
The hotel was exactly what I was looking for, which was mainly somewhere to sleep, and more - I arrived on a later flight than originally scheduled and was still able to check in late (after informing the hotel). The room was clean and my stay pleasant.
We arrived at the hotel and found it to be on a footpath street. Lovely area to have access to everything in the city. Step out your door and stores, cafes, restaurants and lively activity is everywhere. Our room was upgraded and wound up with a view of the back gardens that were so beautiful. The sunsets while we were there were incredible. Don't forget to stroll the gardens and maybe have a few moments with one of the kitties!
A nice hotel in the centre of Porto. Although the room looked a bit old, it was comfortable. Only two things: 1) there's a sign in the hotel's entrance that indicates that pets are not allowed in the property - one night as I entered the hotel a dog runned to me barking / 2) As I had a very early flight I was told to reception to wake me up at 2 a.m. but they never did. I think that the owners should be more careful with property rules and customer service.
