Average 2 star hotel in quiet location with very few restaurants, shops or bars nearby. It was a good 30 minute walk to the city centre and a 10 minute walk to the nearest metro station. Basic breakfast and hotel room, with no fridge, kettle or safe.

Angie, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely amazing! I recommend it 200%! Lovely staff, clean room, and great location. Everyone was so kind — my charger didn’t work at the hotel and a very nice employee even lent me her own. They also gave me great advice to discover delicious local food that wasn’t too expensive. Thank you so much for this experience! I’m sure that if I come back to Porto, I’ll definitely stay at this hotel again. Obrigado, see you soon!
