Honestly, the location was perfection and the staff were amazing too, however the hotel maintenance was really poor and the walls weren’t soundproof so we managed to hear everything that happened in the street, which made it impossible to sleep.

Very good and affordable accommodation for those who want to explore Porto. For the price, don't expect anything luxurious, but it's very convenient for one or two nights.

Pleasant stay in Porto

Cozy and comfortable structure, located in a strategic area in front of the Rectorate of the University of Porto, the Pensão França was really a very pleasant surprise. The friendly and helpful staff, a very high level of cleanliness, the comfort of the beds and the functionality of the bathroom made our stay truly unforgettable. The WI-FI signal is also excellent. A wide selection of restaurants in the area. Really recommendable

What was good: Very central, everything worked well, nice view on the square, clean. What was bad: very loud outside, old furnishing and rooms. All in all a good place to stay if you can sleep in a noisy environment.

Outdated, but good for a few nights

As others have commented and is apparent from the pictures, everything is rather old and some refurbishing would help a lot. Yet, everything in my room was clean and I did not see any signs of bedbugs (I checked quite neurotically!). The room was very small. The location was excellent but there is a bit of noise from the streets. All in all a good option for a few nights with this price if you do not intend to spend a lot of time in your room!

Excellent value, great location.

Great value choice. Room was bigger that expected with a full size wardrobe and small desk/stool. We had a private bathroom which included a bidet and shower. Plenty of hot water & good pressure. No hairdryer in the room but we were supplied one on request. Marina at the desk was perfectly pleasant. Amazing location, slightly noisy as we were facing the street but we always bring earplugs anyway!
