“Great value, friendly staff, good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 October 2010

This is a great value hotel. The multi-lingual staff are firendly and helpful, proving msp and suggestions for things to see and places to eat. The rooms are very clean and the whole place has the sense of being well run. Breakfast is good. It isn't luxury, but it is great value.
The location is a bit outside the city centre. However, this means that it is quiet and you feel safe walking there at night. It's possible to find (free) parking nearby in the street. However, you don't need a car - the nearest Metro station is a couple of blocks away. We also walked into the city centre (2 or 3 km, maybe)

“Great Value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 October 2010

We stayed at this hotel in October, it was a really nice and clean and very easy to get too. It is about two blocks from the nearest metro line and as long as you realize that it on Rue St. Helena then you are good to go and it is easy to find. We stayed in the apartment part of the hotel and had the entire place to our selves which was pretty nice. The only problem was that we could not get the heater in the apartment to work so I used lots of blankets at night. Otherwise the internet was good and fast, the facility was clean, breakfast was good and everything was just fine. Excellent value for the money!

“Great little hotel with very freindly staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 July 2009

5 of us stayed in this hotel in July 2009 and we loved it! The hotel is near the center of the town, very close to metro station and bus stop. The bus ride to the beach takes 30-40 minutes. The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone who is looking for a budget accommodation in Porto.
