Though our memories of Porto are the warmest ones we disliked the hotel we picked out. There are several weighty arguments for such dislike: 1. The rooms are tiny with no sound insulation (U are aware of what your neighbors engaged with & so do they) 2. The bathrooms are terribly tiny as if constructed for gnomes (when taking a... More

Nice budget hotel. Unfortunately it's quite far away form the historic Porto center. You have to use subway. Hotel is quite old, so are the rooms. But they are kept clean. If you've got a car - there's parking available, but it's 100m away. If you're looking for cheap stay and don't expect much it should be your choice.

Location - Although the hotel is situated slightly out of the main centre of Porto it is still in a convenient location. It is less than a 10 minute walk to the metro station (Faria Guimaraes or Marques which are both on the yellow line). From either of these metro stations it is just a few minutes journey to Trindade... More

My father and I traveled Europe for a month and this hotel had the best breakfast by far. Location was so-so and parking was difficult to say the least. The streets in this neighborhood are very tight. Local transportation is roughly a 8-10 min walk from hotel. The overall location of this hotel was good but not great. Wifi in... More

The location and stuff are great! Staff is very friendly and helpfull. Breakfast is good. First we had a room at the ground floor and the room did a little bit smell like smoke. Later we got a good room at the 2nd floor. There are a few metro stations close and you walk in 10 minutes to the city... More

This hotel is One star but should be more, very friendly and very clean. Yes the rooms are small but all you need it for is sleeping, there was sufficent storage as well, and if you need a bigger room you may need to pay more! The buffet breakfast included orange juice, cereals, yoghurt, fresh fruit, rolls, ham, cheese, tomato,... More
