“Beautifully on the mark”

For the cost, this is a bargain, It ain’t the Ritz, just a simple hotel South of the river. Right on the metro, Jao de Deus stop is right outside the door, so direct to old city and easy to airport. Rooms large and comfortable. Shower rooms are spacious and fine ( extractor is on a separate switch and sounds like a rocket, so don’t switch on in the middle of the night). Spotlessly clean. Don’t expect a full English. Breakfast is delightful, continental meat & cheeses, fresh fruits & yoghurts, pastries & toast …….much more. The female maitre-de is a bit brusque but spot on, and nothing is too much trouble. Not luxurious but really like this place and an absolute bargain. Only negative is that if your room is on the main road, it can be noisey.

“Enjoyable ”

Great value and staff were welcoming. Billed asa budget hotel but worth much more. I actually quite liked it but it was not high class. Totally adequate for a short city visit and perfectly located.

Stayed here for four nights. Shared room with my son. Room was decent size to take two comfortable single beds with a nice sized bathroom with excellent power shower. There was an outside decking area to the room with chairs, unfortunately the decking was broken in a few places but we didn’t spend a lot of time out there. The hotel was very clean, the reception staff were very pleasant and helpful couldn’t be faulted. We were able to leave our bags with them allowing us to make most of our last day (boat trip, port tasting and general sightseeing) unencumbered by our luggage. Didn’t eat in hotel as there are numerous reasonably priced cafes and eateries as you walk down the hill towards centre. The hotel is situated within walking distance of the centre of Porto and very close to the tram stop which had frequent trams to the main station. It can also be reached by tram from the airport. Tram fares were very reasonable. We enjoyed our stay, it was an excellent base for which to discover Porto. An excellent no frills budget hotel which I would be happy to recommend.

“good, but noise problem”

The location is perfect next to El Corte Ingles which also has a supermarket in the basement and the metro D line stop is a minute walk away. It has two types of pillows, fridge, small safe and water heater to make some tea or coffee. The bathroom has a hairdryer. On the TV you see many channels ... more

The location is perfect next to El Corte Ingles which also has a supermarket in the basement and the metro D line stop is a minute walk away. It has two types of pillows, fridge, small safe and water heater to make some tea or coffee. The bathroom has a hairdryer. On the TV you see many channels and the wifi is free and without passwords or registrations, but it is a bit slow, I preferred to use the data line of my mobile. The buffet breakfast is plentiful and of high quality. Parking is available at a supplement and is about 150 m from the hotel in another building. I recommend leaving your car for the days of your stay and moving around with the Andante 24h card, unless you want to go to the outskirts. On arrival we were given a room on the 9th floor, but the room was not ready yet, then when we arrived in the afternoon we were moved to the 2nd floor, from this floor the noises were very annoying. Streetcar, cars, motorcycles, you can hear everything despite the insulation of the windows. If it had not been for this reason, my rating would be much higher.
