We have stayed here previously and recommended to friends, it was comfortable, well priced for location and quirky. Still really like the concept and hotel however we were a little disappointed this time. The air conditioning wasn't working and we informed reception on arrival as it was 26.5 degrees in our box, the ceiling vent was also broken so no air at all in the box. V uncomfortable. Reception advised that air conditioning yarts working when temp hits 24 degrees? This wasn't the case and we felt fobbed off. Seemed to not understand what we meant by the vent, no attempt to repair or come and check it out, we were not offered alternative room. Said he would call company to repair and no further action. Reported again to reception following morning and again told that air con was broken across whole hotel, that they would report and then change our room, we went out for the day, when returning it was another receptionist who stated she hadn't been informed..we requested to move room and she assured us air con was working. It wasn't and another uncomfortable night sleep in a hot box however vent opened but then we awoke due to noisy customers. Following day still no sign of repair and another customer complained in the nighttime. Air con then came on at 11.30pm.on our final night, was set to 20 and didn't then turn off. Not sure what occured this time but it was uncomfortable and bad service. The hairdryer didn't work in room. Would return however they need to ensure listen

A very unique and funky property! The rooms are interesting, clean, and surprisingly spacious given their unique construction. Staff were welcoming and very helpful. Location is convenient too, located centrally in Porto meaning everything, including the Ribiera, is walkable.

It's an interesting take on minimalist - and very very economical - way to stay! This was hands down the most economical place I could find at the time of my travel and I'm glad I took advantage of it. The bare wall bathroom and "no window, just a box" theme certainly isn't for everyone but if you are looking for an efficient, and quite honestly sufficient, place only a few minutes walk from Bolhao market/via Catarina shopping area and/or 5min from Sao Bento station, this place is a find. It worked out great for me bc I had two day trips that started from Sao Bento and ended in Praca Batalha area which is also close. Facilitates are really sufficient. Shower was good. I do recommend having flipflops ( because the shower floor is more concrete than tile) which people don't usually need for an ensuite bathroom. Self operating lockers for storage after the check out. Staff very pleasant, they monitor the front desk 24hrs. No communal fridge but they were happy to hold my few cold items in the fridge in the back overnight, which was very much appreciated. I didn't get to utilize the communal areas in the 5th floor but the concept of bring your own movie to hook up to a big screen/stereo is brilliant. I did think that the area right outside of the place was a little run down, not dangerous in any way, just in "some neighboring lots are empty so it looks sketchy at night", kind of way. Again , the theme is not for everyone, but for the location and price I would return to stay.

Nice place - and room was comfortable and clean - so not a bad place to stay. First room was given had a very foul smell in it - so was given another. Some staff at front desk were extremely rude, seemed to be prioritizing helping people they knew and not following order people were lined up in.

Great for pictures but not comfort

We’re pretty flexible travelers and genuinely looked forward to our stay here both for its vibe and price point. But we quickly discovered it’s a glorified hostel. The rooms were sweltering hot with no means to cool them down meaningfully. The bathroom was moldy. And we didn’t get a chance to explore the sauna because we’re pretty sure we walked in on a couple really putting it to use…. But the bar and restaurant downstairs are great, as is the location. So you get what you pay for.

The side street this hotel was located on was a bit sketchy, but very close to the main road. Staff and the quality of the hotel was great- definitely geared toward an under 45 crowd. Rooftop pool was unavailable due to maintenance which was a bummer. There was a considerable amount of mold in the bathroom of my ‘box’- around the base of the shower and in behind the sink. The industrial aesthetic, dim lighting and absence of windows might lead one to overlook it. I would stay here again on a solo trip but the box might be tight for two people.

Location was fantastic. The bed was really comfortable and the bathroom had hot water forever. It was a little claustrophobic (it is a box- they’re not exaggerating) but the bigger room seemed ok. It’s well laid out and well appointed. The restaurant is top notch and great value. The sauna is a great touch as well for weary travelers. The roof top is also quite nice. Staff is superb and very helpful.
