Perfectly located for nightlife and visits, cheap, friendly staff,...
But that's all. Because the everything is getting old, the bathroom is tiny, falling into pieces, and the room is not that pleasant; and you are so close to bars you can really hear the music

To book if you want to go out late, and to stay away during the day

We only were in Porto for 2 nights, so we decided saving a couple bucks at this place would help out the rest of our 2 1/2 week trip. Major Mistake. We were on the 4th floor (421, I believe) and had our own restroom....But just Barely. Apparently the other rooms on our floor did not and the public toilet was across the way from our door. So after 2am, when the 250 kids left the bar and street below our window, you could hear every bodily function of a whole floor full of people. We must've been in a dormer, because our tiny 'window' couldn't be seen from the street, nor could we open ours like the other 3 floors below us could. The staff was very nice and friendly especially the breakfast attendants....although "Full Breakfast Buffet" is a bit of a stretch. It was coffee, oj, and three different types of bread. I did like the weird little packet of soft cheese that came with it, though! To sum it up: Miserable sleeping, the a/c didn't even tease us once in awhile with a burst of cold air, noisey and hard to find from the metro station. Please go to Porto...it was fabulous, just don't stay here unless you're looking for an upscale hostel.

We stayed at this hotels for two night in July and I came really close to meltingaway for the heat that was in the room: when we arrived they had no sign of our booking but the extremely nice and helpful lady at the front desk checked through and we were able to get one room eventually; on the other side, the room was on the top floor which is basically the roof. When we got inside there were 45ªC, it had the tiniest window on the roof and even the walls were boiling. To sleep we had to wet one of the towels with cold water and sleep in it but it was terrible. There was a ridiculous fan in the room but the air it produced was even hotter than the air in the room. The first night was a real nightmare because of the heat.
Breakfast was average, with one croissant (not great) and two bread rolls with butter and jam, juice and coffee or tea, served at the table in a tiny room - really hot as well!!

Lots of good things to say here. The staff were very helpful and friendly and spoke good english which certainly helped us. The room was fairly small but not a problem. I was definitely glad that they had air conditioning! Free internet access was available. Breakfast was a nice start to the day - couple of bread rolls, a pastry, orange juice and tea/coffee - but the breakfast room was a bit of a squeeze when full. Location was perfect for us, everything was in easy reach with just a 5/10 minute walk to shops, places of interest. My only major gripe about this hotel was the noise from both outside and other guests. On a Friday and Saturday night the music from neighbouring bars carried on until 4am. We were at the back of the hotel and had the window shut but the bloke singing might as well have been standing in our room! I love music but this was a joke. We might have been unlucky but we could also here our neighbour using the shower, toilet and having a row at 6am (If you're reading this then cheers for that!). If you like a good nights sleep then I would advise bringing earplugs... or alternatively, staying elsewhere!
