The location is great, you can walk across to the old town in a few minutes or you can walk to the General Torres metro stop less than 10 mins away that will bring you to the centre. There’s also a park nearby where the views are fantastic from this side of the river. The rooftop terrace is lovely with great views also. The property itself and the room were exceptionally clean with cleaning provided daily. While the room wasn’t the biggest it was comfortable and the walk in shower was very nice.

Not much, the room was a little bit stuffy/warm for some reason but it wasn’t a big problem.

The room was nice and clean, bed was comfortable, perfect for 2. There was balcony attached to our room, but we had to share it with others guests. Due to the weather we didn't need to use it fortunately. Before coming we asked for the heater, because I had read in comments on booking that it could be cold in winter. We got what we asked for - a small electric heater, and it was enough. The staff was really helpful, they cleaned our room every day. There is a kitchen for everyone and common space on the ground floor, but we didn't use it.

The only thing that bothered me was cleanliness of the shared bathroom. There were two showers, but only one worked, and even this one was ugly and dirty. Except that the peeling paint on the walls, poor light, a cockroach over the sink that I met while brushing my teeth (luckily, It escaped quickly).

Clean, modern accommodation just up the hill from the river. It's on the Gaia side, but you can easily catch a river taxi over to the Porto side, or metro or an Uber. It's just a short walk up the hill ... maybe 5 minutes. I was in a double room on the first floor, with a shared bathroom. Bathroom was always clean and I never had to wait to use it. Breakfast available each morning for a small charge. I would stay here again if I ever return to Porto.

Great location near all the port houses, and just nip across the bridge to the historic centre. Staff very friendly and offer good advice on places to eat and we took advantage of 50%discount on port tour and walking tour which they booked for us. Lovely breakfast and potential to use kitchen to cook if needed. Room very clean and comfortable with hot shower and toiletries. Nice to be able to use the gardens/terraces to sit outside. Good breakfast cereal, bread, ham, cheese, yoghurt and fruit.

Parking was sparse outside the property, although the recommended multi-storey car park up the road (between 5-10 mins walk as up hill) was reasonable 6 euros for 24 hours. Very noisy as we had a room at the front, but once we shut the window and put aircon on was OK. Room small especially bathroom as you had to dance around the door to get in. Check in very late although opportunity to leave luggage at reception.

What makes this place special is how the owner is passionet about hosting travellers. We had a very nice talk with him over breakfast. I wish we had stayed there more than one night, it was so nice. He also gave us tips on where to travel to.

I filtered the hotels by ''parking available'' before booking, because we had a rental car. When we arrived, we found out that the parking was in the street. There was space available in the street, but traffic in Portugal is quite crazy and we had a rental car. At the end, our car had a little scratch, and this costed us €60 in the rental company.

The room was small but comfy. Everything was super clean and the bed was really nice to sleep on. Decent bathroom and the stuff was nice and helpful. Location is pretty great, you just walk 10 minutes and you're on the big bridge all ready. It was also quiet and peaceful. I totally recommend staying here

Everything was okay

Clean and cosy hostel situated 10 minutes walking distance away from the Ponte Luis I and Jardim dos Mouros, so Porto itself is easy to reach on foot. WOW museum practically around the corner. Staff was super helpful and friendly. Never used a roof terrace, but will do next time for sure.

All was good.

Great location, clean, comfortable bed and with a beautiful relaxing Garden on top. Staff was extremely nice and helpful. Thank you!

A bit more ventilation would be helpful in certain areas like the reception, to avoid humidity smells. In the bedroom a dehumidifier was provided and worked great!

excellent location. much quieter this side of river as we have stayed on the other side. Got parking on street nearby. Place was spotless. Joan and Regina were super helpful and accommodating. Lovely terrace with river views. Plenty of restaurants to suit all budgets. Would have stayed longer if not booked out. Thanks again

I liked the family-run feel of the hotel, the friendly and correct interactions with the people running the hotel, it's location on the south bank of the river but somewhat removed from it, giving more quietude. The steep granite stairs continued outside, onto multiple terraced gardens with a view over Porto.
