The stay at this guest house was immaculate. We loved that it is located in a safe and quiet area. The room was tidy and you would find everything you need. The breakfast options were broad with all being fresh and delicious. The staff at the hotel were pleasant and welcoming, always ready to help. We were able to leave our bags upon check-out, which was important for us as we had a night bus. We would highly recommend this place. Obrigados!
There is a small supermarket right in the same street and a delicious Taberna, great for dinner.
Rooms are small but really clean and private. Great stay.
All of thestaff were lovely, from the moment of check in with the reception lady to the housekeepers, great location surrounded by lots of local eateries and parks closeby, walking distance to the waterfront too. Highly recommend a stay here.
We loved it!!!! Staff really friendly and helpful. The rooms were nice and clean. Great location, there's a restaurant next to it with delicious food and great drinks. Walkable distance from the port.
Staff were very accommodating- allowed us to have breakfast very early before we had to catch a train. And a welcome drink of Port wine was a nice gesture.
The staff were all so sweet and lovely! And the breakfast is delicious with lots of variety and well worth the money. Overall a great stay and would stay again. The area is close to the centre but further away from most of the tourists so it’s quieter, and neighbourhood isn’t as well lit as would’ve liked for a female solo travelled at night so would suggest to be more cautious. There’s also plenty of nice restaurants in the area. Would stay again if were in Porto again!
A small friendly guesthouse with great staff.
Breakfast was nice and fresh, but no hot dishes.
A 15 min walk to central Porto. 5 min walk to Metro-station Carolina Michaelis, 25 min ride from the Airport.
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.
I really loved the way they done it. The hotel looks great staff is amazing all of them. Very comfortable clean and the rooms are complete. I will definitely book again when in the city.
