The place is just a 10 min downhill walk to the city centre. The hotel is quite stylish and the owners (along with their 2 cats) are very nice. Rooms have high ornate ceilings. The beds were quite comfortable. There are wine bottles available in the hotel at very reasonable rates. The breakfast was not exceptionally large but sufficient and tasty. They have a nice garden at the back with a swing and slide for the kids. All in all, great value for money.

It's a 10 min uphill walk while coming back to the hotel. So public transportation is needed, which then is a key point since the buses are not too frequent or do not go to the city centre. The room toilet was very small with no lock. Being an old building, there is no lift in the hotel (we were lucky to have a room on the first floor). There was also no physical door for the part of the bathroom and the main room, only a curtain.

The location, it is easy to walk to the city center, also the breakfast is very complete, it has a small drawback is served at 8 and for travelers who leave early flights must leave without breakfast. I would like to make a suggestion for safety, especially for the elderly: install a small grab bar in the showers, because when a second person enters the shower and it is wet, it is slippery.

The playground was lovely for the kids and the viewpoint was also a bonus. Just being able to sit in the garden and buy a few drinks from reception was perfect as we arrived tired from our journey. Everyone slept really well, as since although it seemed quite hot in the room at first, it was ok with the fans and was nice and quiet. Breakfast was also a good mix.

The slightly hot room but in the end we all slept really well.

I was a bit undecided whether to put 8 or 9 for the rating, but decided on 9 because it was better than I generally expect from places with an average of 8.5 on booking.com. We just needed somewhere to stay with our two small children for one night in walking distance from our transport arrival and departure points, and for our purposes this place was perfect. The big garden was an amazing bonus, and we managed to spend quite a bit of time there even though it was raining. The staff on reception were friendly, and the one who was there when we arrived helped carry our bags to the top floor, which was much appreciated. I was glad I hadn't let a couple of comments from Google reviews put me off, because neither of them applied to our stay. One of those was about a nightclub across the road - we stayed on a Sunday night, which probably wasn't a nightclub night, and anyway we weren't on the road side of the building. In fact it was so quiet in the night that I could scarcely believe we were in a city. And the other was about a bed sagging in the middle, but our beds were all singles and very pleasantly firm, not the least bit saggy. They may well have replaced all the mattresses since that review, as the mattresses I saw through the doorways of other unoccupied rooms also looked fairly new. We would happily stay here again if we needed somewhere in this area of Porto.

Beautiful old house with a few rooms and a lovely garden behind. The breakfast was excellent. We had a room in the front which meant some noise from the street, but we did not mind. We also liked more the fan than air condition in most hotels. The staff was very friendly and helpful and a special bonus for the three cats living in there.

We did not understand in beforehand that this place is a little bit far from the centre. On the other hand it also meant less tourists around and small restaurants which the locals also visited.

A beautiful building with a cool tower behind it; the tower is the Belvedere of the city, you can see everything from this amazing view point. The staff was super accommodating. The electric key access is nice.

The parking situation is rough. You can park for free on the street overnight until 9 if you can find a spot; there’s also a lot 100 meters up there street that’s 10$ all day but not unlimited exits and entries.

We wish we could stay longer. The room was nice and the view was perfect. We stayed in the room in the gardon, total quiet and nice decoration with stone wall. The breakfast room was also nice and gorgeous, but they didn't start breakfast service yet when we came. Would definitely come back during summer to enjoy the garden. Furthermore, the staff was so kind that she offered us the water bottle as we didn't have 2€ cash for it. She was kind and sympathic.

The location is 10 from downtown (rue Santa Catarina), but considering other downtown hotel with the same price range, this is definitely a better choice. Its facilities worth 5m more of walking!

A bit further away from the centre but in a relatively quiet road. Appropriate room. Adequately priced nice breakfast (with a relatively wide range of food, including fruit!). Marvellous garden: it was nice to have the breakfast or at least the coffee outside. Helpful staff (e.g. printing my boarding pass). Value for money.

No airconditioner.

Nice place close to city center and metro stations. Delicious breakfast. Kind staff. Wonderful garden to have a breakfast, coffe or just seat and relax. Room was very clean. It was very cold when we arrived, they gave us additional heater.

This is a wonderful, elegant old building, situated close to the city center but not too close to the crowd. I felt very safe here, everything was spotless clean in my beautiful room, and the staff members were so kind. I loved the garden too! I would happily stay here again when I return to Porto.
