I was in Porto just for the night and I really wish I had stayed here when I was in Porto previously! This is a really cute place to stay. It is well renovated and is really clean. My room was small but really comfortable. The icing on the cake though is the staff. Every time I walked passed a staff member they greeted me and asked if I was ok. I felt very at home here. I am sad that I wasn't able to experience the patio, bar etc while I was here.....just means I have something to come back for :)
We stayed here for 4 nights in 2 single rooms. The guest house was clean, and location was perfect, either for walking into Porto or using the metro.
The staff were lovely and went out of their way to be helpful. Breakfast was excellent.
We would highly recommend and would most definitely stay here again if we came back to Porto.
We reported twice that there was blood stains on our sheets, then we noticed bug bites on our arms, face and hand. We told the hotel receptionist that there are bed bugs on the bed we slept onand all she said was I’m so sorry have a nice day.
The room was good with a balcony to have a pleasant night drink after exploring Porto. The room condition was ok.
The straff was really nice. The breakfast was good, but not great.
Overall, with all ups and downs, it was a nice place to stay.
very good experience at boavista. excellent transport and amenity connections and walking distance to central and the river, simple but nice and clean room with a nice view, helpful and friendly staff, tasty breakfast buffet. Would stay again.
Best stay we had on our 2 week vacation to Spain/Portugal. The receptionist was absolutely lovely, quick messages, and a fantastic guide to help us out sent before we arrived with parking info. Loved the little patio and the welcome beverage. Was close to everything but quiet enough we didn’t hear any big city noise.
