Hotel needs urgently renovation. Old floors chipping, gappings between planks. Seems that had water damage before. Room 602 Mattress too hard. Customer service was very good. Breakfast basic but good. Parking space small but free. Overall I give a 3 star because free parking, 3 blocks away from Marques Metro station (three stops away to downtown) and very helpful people. Property needs renovation.

In general I'm happy with my stay at Palanca Hotel. It is dated, simple but pratical. Spacious bedroom, reasonable storage space, a table and chair. The toilet has a bath with shower (No hair dryer). I could here the elevator up and down, people shutting their door. But at night it gets quiet enough to rest and have a good sleep.The breakfast was great with a selection of bread rolls, butter and jam, ham and cheese slices, yogurt , coffee, milk, cocoa powder, cereals, juice and teas selection too. The check in and check out was quick and easy. The owners and staff were friendly. So I certainly recommend it to everyone for the price it's certainly worthwhile.

The room was adequate, according to the relatively good low price. Even though it was an old place, it felt good. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable. The area around was fine, it was easy to get to the city centre, and we liked the park nearby, too. It felt more local. The first room we were given had an issue with electricity, after reporting it we were moved to a different room and all was fine there. What we didn’t like was the "continental breakfast", it was poor and the second day we didn’t even use it - preferred to eat somewhere else.

Pretty good !!

The room was small, but the price was right !! , It was a uber ride to get into town , could have walked but a bit far. They did have ham and cheese and rolls for breakfast, I wish Europe had some type of eggs so tired of lunch meat. The staff was friendly, no refrigerator that was a bummer. But right around the corner was a fantastic restaurant, walking distance, can't remember the name but we went twice !! Leave the hotel out the door make a right go to corner and make left and it's literally right on the right side of road, both times we got lucky because it was packed with reservations so go right at 7 when they open !!

Property is located fairly conveniently within walking distance to a metro station. Room was clean but old and poorly sound proofed (lots of noise from cars outside and neighbors). Staff was friendly, and the included breakfast was decent. For the relatively low price compared to other hotels near the center of Porto, I would recommend it.

Comfortable Stay

We stayed 3 nights at the Palanca. The Palanca is a small hotel in a residential area about 30 minutes walk from the centre of Porto. The room was comfortable and the breakfast great value at 2 euros 50. There is a Metro station five minutes away. At the airport we bought a 72-hour Metro and Bus pass, which proved to be a bargain at 16 euros. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful, although, annoyingly, the receptionist, when we paid our bill by card, insisted we pay in £s rather than euros. This meant our stay cost us £6 more than if we'd paid in euros.
