Appalling Receptionist/Owner will Never be back
As soon as me and my boyfriend walked through the door we were shouted at Because apparently he wanted us to ring the bell before walking in and was saying that is rude to walk through people's houses without knocking first, even though that's a "hotel", not a house. Kept on shouting and raising his voice at me and my boyfriend. Then I tried to re-start the situation and asked what was the check-in time as on hotels.com is says 1AM what he started shouting at me again saying if it says 1AM it's because I changed it and that I'm stupid because nowhere in the world you can do a check-in at 1AM. I tried to explain that's a website and couldn't change those kind of settings myself and he just kept on shouting at me and insulting me (in portuguese as he refuses to say a word in any other language) After shouting and constantly insulting me and my boyfriend for 10 minutes we decided we didn't want to stay in that place as like this wasn't enough, the place was dirty and smelled bad. Then I wasn't shout at again when I asked for my money back as we wanted to leave, he insulted me again saying all the payments are made at reception (you have to add your card details when booking) and last but not the least, when I was mentioning that I had to add my card details at hotels.com he had the balls to say he doesn't work with hotels.com even though I booked the room through hotels.com app This was a horrible experience and quite traumatic. We were shouted at, insulted and disrespected.

Plenty of stairs to climb
An unusual experience. Very clean but modestly furnished, one very uncomfortable chair not even a paper cup for brushing teeth. On the other hand there was a bidet in the bathroom and plenty of hot water. No elevator. Last night i was there i was awoken by shouting at 4.30 in the morning, later the man in charge told me he had been up in the middle of the night when someone was taken ill and had to be rushed to the hospital. So it is a really quiet neighborhood. No little store right nearby to buy water and snacks. But a gracious older building.

We arrived to check in to the property only to find out that there was no electric or water working on the property. We had to find another hotel at a more significant cost than what we wanted to pay. The hotel staff did not notify us prior to arriving for check in that the property was not habitable.

The owner of the place is the most impolite man I ever met. He started shouting at my fiancée who was kindly asking about the WiFi not working. Then he shouted at me for asking help to close the door of the room which you need to clap very violently otherwise the room isn’t closing. I wouldn’t recommend staying in this property with such an horrible person in charge.

Falling Apart
I stayed for three nights in two different rooms. I thought the first one was bad, but ended up moving into one even worse. The place is very old, and in serious need of renovation. If you are travelling alone and want the cheapest possible option, it works for a short trip. I wouldn't say the double rooms are big enough for two people though. The room was not very clean - and the bathroom even worse. There was no soap, the towel rail was hanging off the wall, there was dirt in the bath and on the floor, and one of the towels had a stain on it. Even with the room window closed, you can smell people smoking outside. You can also hear the room next door when they use the bathroom. The reception staff are lovely, and even without speaking much English do their best to accommodate. I knew there wasn't much they would be able to do about the condition of the rooms so didn't want to bother them too much with requests, but they gave good tips about what to do in Porto. As a very low budget option it is fine for a short trip, but if you want anything other than very basic and not very clean, you are better off staying elsewhere.

Do Not Stay here!!!!
Absolutely awful experience. The reception was extremely rude and basically constantly yelled at me while I was trying to check in. The room wasn't soundproof and I heard everytime a car went over a pothole. Would never ever stay here again, our experience here had the potential to ruin our whole experience of Porto

Not a pleasant experience
We had booked rooms for 4 single men and 3 single men. We rang Hotels.com to confirm that this is what we would get and had paperwork to confirm. When we arrived at the accommodation, the receptionist was adamant we would have a double bed and 2 singles in the room. He was rude and uncompromising, the housekeeper was more co-operative and was able to provide a fold up bed to resolve the situation.
