The Wi-Fi hardly worked — it was only available until around 10 a.m., and then stopped completely. I had to buy a Portuguese SIM card as I had a lot of online work to do. It’s also worth mentioning that the apartment is on a high floor the 5th floor, accessible only by steep stairs. It was a bit challenging, but manageable. It can also get quite noisy at night, but it’s still bearable.

The accommodation was clean and well-maintained, and everything looked even better than in the photos. There was plenty of space for two adults, and the bathroom was also comfortable. It’s also worth noting the view from the window, which is truly magical and offers a breathtaking panorama of Porto.

The property looked like they didn’t even pretend to clean it before my arrival: dusty, dirty and hair EVERYWHERE.

The location is amazing, almost everything you need to see in Porto is not further than a 15 minute walk, the checkin and the checkout are easy.

I would have liked to know that you have to use a step stool to get into the shower. I think that is a slip hazard when wet.

Loved the location. The room was pretty and comfortable.

Small room and an awkward shower. I’d suggest putting anti-slip on the stairs.

Very nice and perfect for backpackers!

Something like a small table would have been nice, but the room was not that big. I think overall it was really solid.

Location was the best, easily getting to the metro and other places from this location was amazing. And Mantegeiro next door was just incredible.

Not cheap. The entrance was through the back street. No reception, they don't have anyone on site. Steep, narrow, timber staircase. It was hard to carry my luggage to the top floor - 80 steps. Bed takes most of the space of the room. Complicated check-in (you must have working phone with access to your email). Would be nice to have a minibar and ...a drinking glass/cup. Not the best WiFi, if you could connect at all. Next day I bought local SIM.

Very good location. Comfortable double bed, nice, small bathroom with good shower (strong water pressure, hot water), hairdryer, ceiling fan, TV with many channels including CNN, BBC, Al-Jazeera, DW, France 24,...Window with city's view. Good communication via email..

Cleanliness, handling of room garbage, there are nearby restaurants, and it is too loud until 1 am. The room is small, good for a solo traveler. A couple might find it a little tight

The location is great, the wifi is good for work, and the bed is comfortable

I would recommend installing a small fridge under the shower section!

The location is excellent. It is in the very centre of Porto, close to the main square and the central line of the metro (the airport is some 30 minutes by this metro). Even though it is centrally located, there is no noise at night. My room was upstairs, and check-in was automatic. I had no problems, as I had all the information in advance, and all the codes worked perfectly. I did not mind walking the beautiful round stairs, but I can understand that with huge suitcases, this might be a challenge, not to mention that there is little room for large suitcases in the room. The room is tiny but perfectly designed – the shower is just a step from the bed, but it has its unique charm! You can even store your clothes in the drawers below the bed, which I found charming:)

They are a pair of steps to go into your room. Be prepared to if you have luggages. Very steep. The wifi didnt work. The walls and ceiling need renovations, also the shower cabin. Some aspects of cleanliness are overlooked.

The location was right in the centre.

Although the property is very nice, they don’t have anyone on sight, neither at night or in the morning. The communication was only on WhatsApp. When I arrived, I was told to enter through the back entrance but the entrance door did not open with the code. Then, I was told to get a key from a lock box, but the lock box was also broken and it took me a while to open it. When I did, I struggled to open the door with the key because the door is very old. Finally, there was no internet. I communicated this to the landlord who told me they will come to fix it, but it was not fixed. I ended up paying 40 EUR for internet that I bought online because I work online.

The hotel is a very cute building, centrally located and close to many popular sights. The room is small, but clean and nicely decorated. Easy communication with the landlord on WhatsApp.

No AC but didn’t need early October. In the summer heat rises and on the top floor (81 steps) it would be hot.

Location. Ceiling fan.

- No reception - Mail from host unclear - Did not see any personal - 2nd floor in Hotel, which means 5th floor in building. Dangerous stairs

Position

There was obviously some kind of night club nearby and the bass rattled the building until the early hours. A few things just seemed sloppy, TV not dusted, radiator fallen off the wall, etc. But not unpleasant.

Really good location, bed was comfortable and good shower (although it didn’t drain very well).

The stairs, it was hard to carry my luggage to the top floor.

The staff, definitely! I left my ring in my room and the kind cleaning lady contacted me via booking and returned the ring to me! Thank you very much!

Too small and too many stairs, especially if you have luggage.

Location is great

Stayed in December 2023

For my personal preference, the bed mattress was a little too firm and uneven. If you have mobility issues, there are quite a lot of windy, narrow stairs to get to rooms (I was in 2F). Being in a room on this floor meant there was only an open unprotected WiFi link so could not use for mobile as too dangerous. Water pressure in shower was adequate but not strong.

Excellent location for getting around Porto and close to many shops, bars, restaurarants etc. It is close to the train station so easy access from airport. Also very close to the Lello bookshop. A lovely welcome from Laura who was very helpful in recommending places and giving information about getting around. The room was spotlessly clean, and although compact in the bed area, had a prettily decorated bathroom with good size walk-in shower and plenty of storage shelves, hanging area in entrance part. Room had heating, good lighting and a good amount of plugs by the bed which is always handy. The 6 rooms in this prettily reformed original house are above a very nice little wine bar that does snacks (only open til 7pm).

I'm an older traveller and humping my 20kg suitcase up 3 flights of very steep stairs was a trial. But the view from the top was incredible

Fabulous position - just walk out the door and wherever you go there is something amazing to see

I didn't know how many stairs there would be and the bathroom door did not have a real handle. It looked like it belonged on a kitchen cabinet. The bathroom door also didnt close easily.

The hotel was in a great location and the staff were friendly and engaging.
