Rooms shabby, tiny, awkward. VMC non functioning, therefore damp. No A/C. Furniture either tired or 'hammered'. Beds uncomfortable. General situation - grubby. One room had no windows & the bathroom window opened on to a seating area ! I couldn't begin to cover all the depressive features of this place. We found another, cleaner hotel after 2 nights and just left the keys on the unattended reception. We had prepaid for our stay, but they can keep the money. It could have destroyed our visit to Porto. There is nothing to recommend in this place.

Peter C wrote a review Oct 2022
Mixed review with the bad outweighing the good. The location was ideal to access Porto tourist areas within a short walking distance. Initial impressions were good, with the reception booking in process being efficient and polite. Cases were carried up to the room. Special dietary needs were provided for at breakfast (Gluten Free) and the breakfast was well provisioned. Room was serviced daily. The room should never have been available for any guests to stay in due to a broken shower base that was impossible to stand on, without serious risk to your physical wellbeing. With the shower base being inadequately unsupported from underneath when installed, it had cracked due to previous use. There had been a botched job to repair the cracked base by using a massive amount of bathroom sealant. This had not stopped extensive water leakage into the bathroom or the total instability of base when standing in the shower. You felt as though you were going to fall through the base at any time. The shower base should have been replaced before this room was classified as usable. The next major issue was the WiFi. The WiFi was next to useless and was unavailable more times than available.

Nice and helpful staff, they understand English. The environment is clean. The accommodation is situated close to the centre. Breakfast includes baguette, cheese, ham, croissant, pastel de nata and coffee and tea. The surrounding area is not quiet. There are a lot of cars.

The staff were helpful and friendly and the accommodation was clean of a good standard, for the price. The bedroom was a bit on the small side. The day we arrived was cold, so we were glad of the extra bedding. Most places of interest were within easy walking distance of the guest house.

A very friendly guest house, great choice for breakfast with homemade cake available every morning. The location is good for walking to the town and locally there re a few eating places. My only moan would be about the squeaky bed which hampered a good night's sleep.

Pros: friendly staff, good breakfast, cute terrace and location. Cons: really uncomfortable pillows, needs some maintenance (blinds didn't work well, door would take some problems to open/close), wi-fi worked well only at times.
