You get what you pay for. Rough and ready but hot water, clean sheets and easy walking access to the wonderful city. Not suitable for wheelchair users or people with mobility issues. Not much English but welcoming. Squeaky beds so not the best for a honeymoon 😂😜
perfect location for exploring Porto lots of dining options surrounding. room was good for solos. bed was too firm for me and squeaked everytime i rolled.
Great value choice. Room was bigger that expected with a full size wardrobe and small desk/stool. We had a private bathroom which included a bidet and shower. Plenty of hot water & good pressure. No hairdryer in the room but we were supplied one on request. Marina at the desk was perfectly pleasant. Amazing location, slightly noisy as we were facing the street but we always bring earplugs anyway!
The owner, Marina, is a tremendous source of tips and good information.

The place is older, somewhat tired, and the shower is shared amongst the guests (which is an issue for some). Good location and price. Wifi was good. Must walk up a flight of stairs to get to the hotel.
The staff were so accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was perfect! I would definitely stay here again without hesitation!
As a fitness competitor I have a lot of my meal prep with me, they allowed me to use their staff fridge for that! Great little coffee machine in the front entrance along with free umbrellas to borrow if it’s raining!
The place is located at a great location, very close to a lot of the attractions.
It's not the luxury type of stay, room is small, smells a bit, could be quite noisy at night because it's right next to Igreja Do Carmo. and lots of skater outside. Host is friendly.
Overall I enjoyed my stay as I was looking for a convenient location and the price is good for one person room.
Amazing location, right in the center of the city. Room is basic but comfortable. Toilets are shared. Overall the place is well kept and the staff is nice. Only issue was the WiFi coming-and-going in the early evening - but was fine at other times of the day

Great location but needs to be cleaner
Great location but room was not clean (there was hair on the floor and bed) and I got bitten. Bathroom was clean.
It was the perfect choice considering the location, pricing and the + reviews the place got in the past. It was very clean and traditional run hotel. Only issue is if you find climbing the high stairs difficukt, you may be breathless as there is no lift. But you really feel the city vibe and it's like a family home: cozy and low key.
Great location, right beside Carmo church. Easy bus connections to rail station and airport. Room pretty small, but OK for the price! Overall, good value.

Price, location, and friendliness of staff were good. However, after a couple of nights some kind of unseen critter(s) (fleas, bedbugs?) began to eat me.
