Good little base for exploring porto

I know for some people having to leave your key at reception is jarring and confusing but in practice it's not too inconvenient as the hardworking hostess is always at reception at all hours. The location is great for access to a direct metro to/from the airport, although it's not right in the centre of the action. I would recommend this hotel if you're happy to use the metro and/or walk into the centre

Got to the reception and was meet by a women who didn’t speak very good English,Filled out all the forms and was told I needed to pay €6 euro bedroom fee..No problem went to pay with my card but they only took cash..No problem I will get to the cash machine and draw it out for you..All day and the following day i was meet with “You owe me €6 euro today” She was very rude and hounded me for this €6 even though I paid when booking £10 for another “tax”..The hotel it self stunk from every corner of cigarette smoke constantly! It was disgusting to the point I had to leave my window open all day and night to try and air the smell out! Didn’t work bearing in mind we was on a busy road so the noise was constant! The bathroom is so small you can’t move when showering if you can shower that is! The bed the sheets where damp and not dry! Your key you have to leave behind the reception if you leave so any one can have a nosey in your room! All in all a really bad experience and would never book here again.

Rude receptionist (Lady)

I have arrived 2 hours before the check in time, I approach very friendly to the receptionist and asked if I could check in earlier because my flight was on that time and there is no where else for me to go, that I could even pay a bit extra if necessary. Her answer”do you want me to get in to the room and wake people up after that smash them out for you to have a room on this time??!!, have you seen anywhere else check in being before 3pm?!! “ To be honest, I felt so bad that I couldn’t even talk!! I just answered “THANK YOU” Apart of her, all went good after checked in. But I won’t go back again to this Hostel.

RUN AS FAR AS YOU CAN FROM THIS PLACE!!! So we’re a family of 4. We booked accommodation for a family room for €485 for 9 nights and upon arriving she demanded that we pay €7000 for two extra people! We said we’re happy to pay €15.85 per person per night (as what was stated on their website) but she continued to scream at us in Portuguese and tried haggling it down to €3600! She laughed in our face when we said can we get our money back so we thought since we’ve already paid we might as well have our mum and brother stay and my partner and I find another hotel around the corner. Every time you leave your hotel room you have to hand her the keys and buzz to come back in. On the first night she demanded my mum pay €28 to get her key back! I cannot believe how this place is still allowed to be running. Seriously one the the worse humans you can ever encounter. Please do not stay here unless you are happy to get ripped off and abused.

Overall good but broken doors

Hotel was in a good location and nice for what we wanted. My only issue is the double door to the small balcony was swollen and didn't close. We closed the shutters and doors best possible but unfortunately could hear the traffic from the busy street all night.

I don't recommend

I stayed for one night at this hotel and it was one of my worst experiences. The card reader did not work to pay at the hotel. I had to go out of my way, after a long days travel, find an atm to grab cash. In the evening there was a football game playing loudly in the reception area. It seems as though it wasn't a place of business but a place where the owner's friends can come and scream and shout at the television, hanging out. The room itself is quaint, but the nonsmoking room was strongly sprayed with air freshener to mask the cigarette smell. Although check-out time is stated on the Hotel.com noon, the owner insisted I leave at 11:30AM the previous evening. The very next morning, at 11:31AM, the owner banged on my door several times, shouting to leave. At 11:32 AM, as I was double checking if I left anything behind, she was banging on my door again. That was very rude, and stress inducing. There is an upsoken rule of courtesy. A minute or two delay does not warrant such a reaction. I am not a burglar. I am a guest. As it stands, I would never recommend spending a night at this hotel.

Positively surprised

I dont know if all rooms in this hotel will fot thks description but i was in Room 11, a recently furnished room, modern, overlooking the street and with a private bathroom. For the price paid, it was a great deal. It is situated around 20-25min walk from the river but of you dont mind walking its great.

Good value

This is a cheap place but good value. If you're after luxury to stay in all day this is not the place for you. But if you just want somewhere cheap to sleep in this does the job. the room and especially the bathroom is small but clean and adequate. The free WiFi worked very well. No lift, stairs only. Everytime you enter the building you have to ring the doorbell from the pavement but its no bother - the owner lets you in 24 hours a day. Good location - really close to a metro station of the same name which is only two or three of stops from city centre and station. The airport is one change away. There are cheap cafes nearby.

Didn’t like the host lady wasn’t very polite. The room was tired, dated not particularly clean on last morning I found ants running around the room. If you go out every time you have to leave key with her so when you come late at night you have to ring the door bell so she can open doors. And then see hers unhappy face. Would be easy if you go out take key with you. Definitely next time I stay somewhere else and not gonna recommend this property to my friends.

We were pleased with the staff who were friendly, courteous, and helpful. The location of this small hotel was ideal. It is located within walking distance of the historical area of Porto. It is also within walking distance to the main subway system and to the train station. A small, family owned restaurant is right next door and directly across the street is a neighbourhood pub/coffee shop. We enjoyed our stay here.
