Central location, everything from central train station and metro to oldtown is walkable around hotel. It seemed that the area around hotel was safe. Receptionists tracked who are coming in and leaving hotel inside premises and through main lounge are, so again it seemed safe to leave stuff at hotel. The view from window and balcony was directed into municipality square, and the view of Porto was a plus. Room (including bathroom and WC) was pretty clean, the cleaning could be done everyday upon request. Hotel has two stars, and it fits perfectly budget hotel definition what type of amenities is offered and how much you are paying.

Internet speed was ok, but it was unstable during my stay. Another inconvenience was that I have got room at 4th floor, and to reach it, you need to use elevator which was extremely small, and you will need to got through hallway by stepping down couple of stairs and later stepping up of couple stairs. So, individuals who need to use wheelchair or with limited mobility will struggle.

No frills hotel in great location, great connections. Staff was there, unobtrusive but always there to help. Hot water was very hot and almost immediate on the fourth floor.. Price was good. Booking and communication was good. Everything that you need is walking distance away. Perfect spot to explore Porto on foot as all main attractions were a throw away.

The pillows, the only thing that was not comfy.

It was very close to the metro station (just outside the hotel). The hotel is in the city centre. The hotel was clean. The personnel was helpful. Room was comfortable. Bathroom had everything that was needed (shower in the bathtub, bidet, toilet, washbasin, hairdryer)

Not all rooms are on the same level as elevator exit/entrance. It may happen that you have to go down/up a couple of steps to reach your room. But it was clearly stated in the description so I was not surprised.

Great location, easy access, clean rooms. You can open the french door and see the square from your room which is very similar to ST. Wenceslas square in Prague.. Also when looking for the dinner go for Pedro dos Frangos which is just around the corner.

Personally I think the beds are too short comparing with other hotels. While the mattress was ok, I did not have a good sleep.

Third time booking Hotel Paulista . Location is great it is by Aliados metro station , walking distance to all tourist land marks , the view from room is great , you can see all the square and people passing by having fun . Staff are nice and helpful . I joke with friends , that Hotel Paulista is my home when in Portugal 🇵🇹

Excellent location Very friendly, helpul staff

All good. It is exactly as shown in the pictures, so no complaints. I would even stay here again, no doubts. If I have to be really really choosy, the floor layout and room doors resemble prison cells. Certainly not an issue. Also, the bed was a bit short, about 5'6" if I m right.

The single room was very spacious and the included facilities were complete as listed in their description. Breakfast was okay and it was cheap, but what I liked the best is the location of the hotel - it's just a few minutes way to the tourist attractions in Porto by foot.

The room was not soundproof at all, I could hear every noise from the voices in the reception and the clanging of the dishes in the breakfast dining areas during the morning and also the footsteps from people passing by my room.

The location was excellent and the breakfast was good too. A very convenient place to stay - thank you. Friendly and helpful staff, and lovely to be given a map of the city on arrival. This really helped.

It would have been good to have a small kettle to access in the kitchen area to make cups of tea in the early evening etc..

Location is the best, rooms are big, comfortable beds.

Get earplugs if you'd like to sleep till later, the breakfast served downstairs is not in an isolated space and you hear everybody.

The best thing about this hotel is the location. It is only 5 minutes away from Sao Bento train station and 15 minutes from the Luis I bridge. There's a metro and bus stop right in front of the hotel. Our view was very nice off the townhall. The staff is very helpful and can give you tips for excursions. There was a small fridge on the room, enough place to store your luggage, and lastly there is an elevator in the building.

It was very cold in the room. I think that is the reason there were 4 blankets in the room, which we used all. Next to that, we turned on the airconditioner to a high temperature, which also worked a bit. It could be a bit noisy, because it is located in a busy street. The first night I used earplugs, the second night it was quiet.
