The accommodation is located about 500m from the metro station which makes going sightseeing in downtown Porto very straightforward. There are multiple supermarkets within 300m of the accommodation which is great for getting our supplies. There are also a few cafes in the neighborhood and there is even a seafood market that sells fresh seafood probably right off the boat since it is very close to a pier. The market also houses other local fresh produce vendors as well as eateries which we didn’t have time to try. The room itself is nice and cozy. There is a comfortable common dining area which we used for our meals.

The sink in the bathroom is very small. The first floor entrance area of the accommodation was too fragrant for our liking.

We stayed in a family room which was spacious and very clean. Localisation was really good. Short walk to the main beach and close to restaurants and shops. Easy access and nice staff

The apartment is next to the street which is quite noisy at night so anyone who struggles with sleep might find this a bit challenging. Also there are no pegs in the bathroom or in the room so there is no place to put your towels to dry after shower. Second card to open the room would be much appreciated as there is only one

My stay at the hotel was absolutely wonderful. The room was exactly as pictured on Booking.com — clean, with a small fridge and a large TV. The bathroom was recently renovated, very clean, and they provided toiletries, which was a nice touch. The hosts are extremely kind and welcoming, always smiling and ready to help. When I needed to extend my stay for an additional night, they were very accommodating and arranged the booking for me, which I greatly appreciated! There is a shared kitchen on the floor with all the necessary equipment. I didn't use it, but it looked well-maintained. The location of the hotel is very convenient, with the ocean nearby, plenty of restaurants, and a Lidl supermarket within walking distance. Overall, my stay at this hotel was perfect!

The hosts were kind, helpful and went above and beyond their duties to makes us feel at home. I have stayed in MANY places through the years, and I can definitely say, within this price range, this was my best stay. I strongly recommend them. We even forgot a couple of items there at the check-out, and the owner came after us with an electric scooter just to give our stuff. Amazing hosts.

LOW Price + Location = perfect combination. The pension is located in a very authentic, non-touristic place. It is on the Camino de Santjago route, surrounded by small 6, shops, and fishermens. The metro is just 3 minutes away,the beach is just 4 minutes by walk.the room is clean.There is a common area with microwave, kettle for self serviced meals and there are vending machines with snacks and drinks.

Just one key card for the room (main entrance, room and electricity in the room).

The room was nice. It was an attic room with a skylight window. It did get a little warm but there was fan available. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom and the decor were nice.

I didn't like having to have the fan directly on me to remain cool in the room. There were points where the ceiling was a bit too short.

Location was very good - nice restaraunts and bakery round the corner. Stuff was very friendly and helpful. Also little fridge in the room and a kitchen downstairs was good. Beach very close.

Only thing which was a bit annoying was that we only had one key (door card) per room.

Very nice place in the good vacay type location. Room was decent, a bit small but still bigger than any western European B&B hotels. Stayed there before starting Pilgrimage to Santiago. Had a decent relax after flight. Was happy to find that both Bolt and Uber works with a cheat tariffs as well.
