5/5
Amazing experience for such cheap price. The location is pretty good to walk to the river or trams will take you further into the city of Porto anytime for next to no money. Our room was very spacious with a super comfy balcony to the main avenue. And the breakfast was the best part. Better than a lot of hotels with fruit, pastery and if you want anything else they'll get it for you :) No problems with cleaning and the personal was super welcoming. Amazing stay in an amazing city !

My spouse and I stayed three nights while in Porto. The staff was incredibly friendly, the rooms were clean and the breakfast was simple, but perfect. A hidden gem! It was very easy to walk or take the metro to the heart of Porto. We had room 4 which had a beautiful view on the balcony and private bathroom. The walls are a bit thin, but this did not bother us, as the area is quiet. Highly recommend staying here while in Porto!
