The room was definitely clean and the attached bathroom as well. The gentleman who helped us was also very nice. But. But it was definitely in a very depressed area that was quite a walk from the main part of town. And the immediate area was odd, many homes and storefronts boarded up, abandoned, etc. maybe it’s coming back? Not sure, but it’s not there yet. The room is very noisy - close neighbors and thin walls, yes, but mostly it’s the pigeons, seagulls and street noise. And we were on the 3rd floor. I think the advertising on this property is misleading. It’s not a bad place, and maybe for the price, that’s what you get, but I would have liked a bit more honest info prior to booking. Maybe this can be that for you.

Great stay
We had a great time here even though just staying for 1 night. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. The room was spacious, modern and very clean. The only downside I would say is that our booking said King size bed, but we received a double. Highly recommend a visit.

A localização do hotel é muito boa. Em um primeiro momento você não vai achar isso, pois é uma rua não muito bonita. Entretanto, depois você descobre que está perto de tudo. Uma grata surpresa! Por fim, destacaria o atendimento por parte da recepção. Nos deram ótimas sugestões de onde se alimentar e o que visitar e como visitar na região. The location of the hotel is very good. At first you will not find this as it is a not very beautiful street. However, later you find that you are close to everything. A pleasant surprise! Finally, I would highlight the reception service. They gave us great suggestions on where to eat and what to visit and how to visit in the area.

Nice-enough rooms let down by poor service
Stayed here for three nights during a visit to Porto. Whilst it wasn't horrible, I wouldn't stay again. The room was clean and fully-equipped when I arrived, but overall the hotel was let down by its service. It turned out there was only one key to my room, which is why it wasn't cleaned or restocked. I was only made aware of this just before my third and final night in the hotel. The concierge asked if I'd like it cleaned but at that point it seemed like a waste of time, though I took him up on the offer of new shampoo and soap. Some of the staff were very on the ball and spoke good English, however when I arrived I was met by somebody who spoke very little English and with my limited Portuguese we ended up communicating through Google Translate. Provided the housekeeping staff can access your room, they'll leave 8 small crackers and a miniature muffin. There's a bakery, Fumeiro, down the road which they direct you to for a fuller meal. I was on the ground floor. There are bars over the windows so you can safely open them, but be prepared for people peering in. A drunk (?) man also garbled something at me when I was lying on the bed looking at my phone, which was fun. Obviously the hotel can't control this but if you're on the ground be aware. Even allowing for how cheap this place is, the service really isn't up to scratch which is a shame as the rooms are nice enough.
