"One of the free walking tours started right outside the hotel."
"The hotel is in an area where they are building a new metro line so be aware - if you sleep with windows open the noise goes all night."
"The location is FANTASTIC in the middle of all attractions so you can almost visit everything with a few minutes walk."

“I found the location excellent, practically next door to São Bento station and within easy walking distance of Porto's main attractions; the friendly staff clearly make a difference to the experience. While some may find the facilities rather basic and the soundproofing not ideal, the central location is a definite plus.”

I found the hotel easily. It's located near several restaurants, supermarkets, and public transport options. I was happy with how very comfy and tidy my room was. The fast, free Wi-Fi was a plus!
I didn't like that I had to leave my keys at the reception whenever I left the building.

good locationmany stairsdamp room
the location was quite good, pretty close to the city center.
i was disappointed to find many stairs up to the reception, especially since i had heavy luggage. also, the room felt damp and dark, and the view faced other buildings, so there wasn't much natural light.
