Excellent central location in city centre approx 5 mins from nearest metro stop. Clean and modern. Our room was small but had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. Welcome from Marta was above and beyond expectations. Not only did she introduce us to the guesthouse but supplied us with a drink of port and pastel da nata when we arrived ! she gave us an intro to the city highlights , supplied us with a map and even booked boat trip, tuk tuk ride and port cellar tour for us . She answered our questions during our stay in a friendly and efficient way. She is a great asset to her employer and the questhouse. Overall we could not have wanted more from our stay at this guesthouse and would fully recommend it for a short city break to Porto.

Wonderful
A lovely place to stay in Porto. So convenient for the Cathedral and the river. Marta could not have been more helpful; booking parking in advance, offering invaluable advice on restaurants, sightseeing, transport etc. She helped us with luggage (we had a lot, as we are on the road for a month) and with laundry too. She even went to the trouble of researching our onward travel on our behalf.I cannot recommend this place more highly.

Small room, bathroom, for 1 or 2 people enough. Great location, in a historic area, very close to train station, old city and new!

personal attention, made me feel at home, modern though the bathroom is small (on fairness the room that I rented stated the bathroom was small). I really enjoyed the room, the staff, the location, everything was great. Just ensure you have the right map on how to reach the hotel prior to arrive (google maps dont help :) because do not show the irregularities of the terrain, nest way to get there is through the large avenue in front of the train station. Highly recommend the place if you are traveling light (as most boutique places, there is no lift).

Superb clean and quiet guesthouse in the centre!
Great location near the front and all major attractions. Beautiful, clean guest house with great views and terrace over rooftops on top floor penthouse. Facilities to cook in if required but great voice of restaurants and cafes locally. The metro station is also round the corner. Greeted with Portuguese tarts and port and given lots of information and greeted with a smile and warmth. If you don’t like hotels and want to stay somewhere authentic with all modern facilities this is for you. Breakfast included in a vegetarian restaurant across the road. No veggies but no problem for us 👍

Excellent condition of room and interior; perfect location; dedicated and friendly owner and staff Note that there is no lift and, given that the Ribeira district itself is extremely hilly, you should like, or at least tolerate, some additional exercise.

Geat little friendly hotel, in good location.
Great stay in a great location. The room was super clean, and made up everyday. There is no specific parking for the hotel, but there is a public car park within about 5 mins walk. You can also park on the street nearby for free between 1900 and 0900 Monday to Friday and 1600-1100 at weekends. You can also park up for free about 10/15 mins walk, which is particularly good if you want to leave the car for a days exploration around Porto. We where provided with a map and shown to where certain locations and things are such as bars and restaurants. Directly next door to the hotel is a real locals bar, with true characters. If you want to mix with genuine Portuguese characters then please give this bar a try. Overall this is a great little hotel that I highly recommend.

House is close to many great sights and restaurants, with nice interior and friendly staff. They met us at check in and explained Porto's many nearby options. Daily cleaning is available and the flat is newly renovated. Be ready to climb stairs, as there's no interior elevator. (Much of Porto is hilly, so this is consistent with the neighborhood.)
