this is a very nice pension, simple, complete, clean, with nice small rooms for a very good price. The breakfast is 3 pieces of bread, coffee and juice, just what you need to get you started in the morning. Unfortunately it is in the middle of the party scene in Porto and the noise from the street is very loud... More

The Pensao Cristal is a lovely little family run hotel, right in the heart of Porto, near to Sao Bento train station and all the major tourist spots. The rooms are clean and functional and the hotel serves a pleasant breakfast from 8am. Ana, the hotel owner is a really lovely and kind woman, who is always cheerful and happy... More

First, as the other reviews have mentioned, the restaurant/bar downstairs is very noisy until as late as 4:30 to 5:00 in the morning. Also, the rooms are tiny.

the hotel is situated above a winebar, and they had extremely load music every (weekend) night. We did not sleep at all during the two nights. The hotel management did not help at all. They blamed the neighbour and told us to complain in the bar next door. Rooms and breakfast were poor to average. Apart from the location, I... More

What a charming place. Loved my room. It was fairly spacious, as was the bathroom, and the decor was lovely. The staff were very helpful. The only criticism I have is regarding the fact that each time you leave the hotel you must leave your room key at the reception desk and then collect it again when you return. Because... More

My husband and I traveled by plane up to Porto, car rental was already arranged before hand. Rent a car agent fetched us up and so was given a car, we have to travel up to Galicia and back to Porto. On our 8 day trip from Porto-Galicia-Porto this was the first stop. Overnight stay in this B&B was a... More
