Our room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the breakfast here. The location was a bit out of the way for tourist attractions but perhaps this is reflected in the lower price than other hotels. Uber was cheap and useful to get around.

Miragaia House, close to Porto's colourful waterfront 'Cais da Ribeira' (now designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site), is a charming house with just 5 guest bedrooms, each done up elegantly. Unlike many other such 'old-world' properties, it has a lift, which is a bonus.

The reception, however, closes at 7pm. Those arriving after 7pm are given a code for the door in advance, AS WELL AS a local phone number to call in case of need. So, although we arrived after 10pm, when we discovered the air conditioner in our room was not working, the person we called informed the owner immediately, who turned up in person and fixed it for us, despite the lateness of the hour.

LOCATION
The hotel is within walking distance of most of Porto's strengths, including: the River Douro, Cais da Ribeira (waterfront), Igreja de São Francisco (with its 18th-century Tree of Jesse), Dom Luís I Bridge, Casa do Infante (Henry the Navigator Museum), Bolsa Palace, Clérigos Church & Tower, Livraria Lello (of Harry Potter fame), São Bento train station (with its approximately 20,000 azulejos that tell the story of Portugal), Praça do Liberdade, Mercado do Bolhão, and the Majestic Café, The short walk from Miragaia House to the Cais da Ribeira is along a section of the route of the old-fashioned tram.

BREAKFAST
An excellent selection of fresh fruit, fresh fruit juices, cereals, liquid yoghurt for cereal, Portuguese breads and cakes, cold meats, home-baked cakes and jams.

Helpful and comfortable, mild street noise, light

The room was lovely, and the bed comfortable, however the curtains were not blackout, and light shone in. In addition, a low base beat from a nearby bar permeated the room at night (room 4). The place was exquisitely clean and well decorated. Breakfast was delicious. The hostess was very helpful in calling a cab and trying another number for me on the house phone. Our plans changed and we did not have time to explore the area, instead this was a quick overnight. The check in by code worked well.

This is a splendid hotel near the Douro river and many of Porto's attractions. The room was spacious and all amenities provided. Breakfast was excellent. As the owners will advise, there is very little parking nearby, so the best option was at the SABA underground carpark at the Jardim do Infante. We walked the 650 meters rolling our suitcase with no problem. Traffic is abysmal during peak tourism, but it's worth it to get close to downtown.

Clean, bed was firm, breakfast was good, staff was very professional - recommended local Xmas tree lighting which was attended by thousands of locals and had fun fireworks. Easy access, though not on metro line. Bright, cheerful room. Big screen tv placement was weird - in middle of room on 2 poles. Room was big and blackout curtains were great. There is a grocery nearby, so we made use of the mini-fridge for milk, juice etc. Would definitely stay there again.

Don't be put off by the outside, this place is beautifully appointed throughout. There is a fun Brazilian style decor in happy colours (Brazil was a Portuguese colony), but the fundamentals are great too. A lovely big bed, a terrific shower, and a tiny kitchen. The staff are exceptional, Pedro was so helpful. The position is a short to the Ribeira restaurants and cruises, the hop on/ off bus stop, and next to two museums. It's easy to walk across the low level of the bridge to the pleasant Gaia waterfront. Highly recommended.

Loved Porto, and this great little guest house

It's a new guest house, staff was friendly and helpful, room was large and well equipped, bed was firm with little cushioning on top, and breakfast was a simple spread (bread, ham cheese, cold cereal, juice coffee). We walked from Sao Bento metro station to the hotel, about 20 minutes - it was easy to find, but we took their shuttle to the airport when we left, we preferred the shuttle. Sights were manageable walk ... a few good restaurants very close. We liked it!

Great little boutique hotel

This is a very nice, recently renovated, small boutique hotel. The rooms are very large and well equipment with small fridge, microwave and hot plate. Located just outside the main tourist area of Porto everything is within walking distance which is important as driving in the city centre is not something you want to do. The main lobby area of the hotel is large and comfortable and the staff very pleasant. This place is great value for the money and is definitely worth staying at.

At the beginning I was taken by the location of the hotel, in a common residential area ie not upscale.
But once inside and once you see the rooms you forget about any concern.
Our tour guide was late for pick up and they helped us contact them and they followed up on their own without us asking.
Its simply unique ,clean, central and the staff is amazing. They surprised us with a bottle of champagne for our anniversary.
I would go back.

It was not pleasant to be.

We feel a bit deceived. At the entrance to the hotel there was a stage of performances for the holiday. During the two nights we stayed at the hotel we could not sleep because of the terrible noise from the music for almost all night. A very unpleasant experience known to the hotel months in advance and did not bother to inform us and leave the decision in our hands. Even if the hotel facilities were good, overall we could not enjoy them and staying at the hotel was a nightmare.

Great Hotel

This is a very nice hotel, with apartment style rooms. The staff was very friendly when we checked, even moving his car so we could park ours (we do not recommend driving in Porto). They also called us cab the day we left. The room was large and bright, with a little kitchenette and king bed. It even had air conditioning, which we used in October. The bathroom was big, with a rain head shower. The hotel was close to everything and a down hill walk at the end of the night, this may sound odd, but after many many hills throughout the day, you will appreciate it. The TV had a couple of English channels, but we only had it on briefly before bed. I would recommend this hotel in this amazing city.

Skip Lisbon, Spend More Time In Porto!

The hotel was really lovely. The staff were soft spoken, polite, friendly, and very helpful.

The hotel is set back from the road, and relatively quiet for a local neighborhood. There are about three local spots in the immediate vicinity that locals and travelers alike frequent for coffee and pastry, or a drink and light fare. Chez Danys down the road has excellent food as well. It is literally a short walk across the road, to get down to the river for a romantic stroll.

We had an amazing time in Porto! If we had it to do over, we would have cut out Lisbon altogether. Porto had a lighter, safer feel by far, and there was so much more to see, and a lot of it not that far from the door of this hotel.

After a week, we were grateful to discover \"LavaWash\" Laundromat, a charming, and well maintained little place to do load of laundry, while reading a little, etc.

There were plenty of little places on the road leading into the city, to eat, drink, or have coffee. If you get a chance, ride the old tram out of the city. There's an amazing little place called \"Tasquinha D'ouro\", where we had fresh grilled fish that was very good, for an even better price!

FANTASTIC stay in a fun and great location.

FANTASTIC stay at this new hotel in a rapidly gentrifying area. Everything in the hotel is spotless and new, with a great design sense, simple, comfortable, and fun. We had a room on the street and I was worried about noise, but the renovation of the hotel included 2 layers of windows and it was soundproofed, with blackout shades. Monica, the owner, designed and works in this small gem of a hotel, and goes out of her way to help with anything. Great breakfast also. The neighborhood is totally on the upswing, with many new restaurants and trendy places, and wonderful places to eat. It always felt completely safe, even late at night, and it was still an area that was genuinely lived in my residents in Porto. Shoutout also to a wonderful place to eat about a block down the street called WeePorto, where you can get a personalized winetasting, and great food prepared by the owner, Maximo.
