It's very basic, dated. But clean if you're the type of traveller that just wants a bed and shower it's ideal. Plus the metro close by has links to all the tourist spots.

Good neighborhood- plenty of bakeries & restaurats around. Close enough to Metro station. Away from the downtown Porto tourist crush. Walls were a bit “thin” but all our neighbours went to bed @ a similar time wasn’t affected to much.

5 minutes walk to Metro station that can take you to major attractions. Some small restaurants around, location wise is alright. Hotel is old, water pressure is great and A/C works well, acceptable for short stay. Front desk person spoke very minimal English but tried his best to help. Consider the price it is aright.

When everywhere else was trying to charge crazy money because of the Porto match in town this hotel stood out as exceptional value. While a little bit dated, it has a lot of character and charm and is exceptionally clean. It was really a lifesaver for us. Couldn't recommend them more highly enough.
