Grace
Guesthouse was well maintained and clean. Breakfast was good, but basic. It is about a 20 minute walk from most of the main sights of the city, and the walk back is largely uphill. There are lots of good local restaurants and cafes around the area.
Check-in was quick and staff were helpful at this point. However we had issues with power in our room, and since there is no-one permanently at the property, it took a while to get it fixed. Check-out was also an issue because there isn't a member of staff on the front desk all the time.

This place is “quirky”- a little hard to find as there is minimal signage out front and it is very unimpressive from the street. However inside it’s a wonderful surprise. Spacious and very clean rooms, quiet, very good continental breakfast and very helpful staff. Although be cautious as the front desk is not maned at all times. (We locked ourselves out of the room and there was nobody at the desk , fortunately we found a housekeeper who had access.) There is even a washer and dryer for use free of charge.it is not in the historic area but within walking distance of the old city and plenty of restaurants nearby.
We enjoyed it our stay despite the quirkiness and would highly recommend.

Professional and helpful staff, comfortable accommodations, good location, limited but good breakfast each morning.
Rashmi
Wonderful little hotel! Great service by very kind front desk staff. The little garden they have is so pretty. Our room was in the \"basement\" but it faced the garden and still got plenty of daylight. Breakfast was lovely.
The only downside was seeing some homeless people further down the street, and a group of men drinking alcohol. Not something that's the hotel's fault though. I still walked down there at night, but it felt a bit unsafe.

Very nice hotel, not far for all the attractions! It is a very busy street so of your room facing the street its very noisy if the windows are open! Breakfast- great! Very accommodating as well. We arrived before check in time and were let into the room early! I recommend!!
Marie-Andrée
Exceptionnel!
Personnel extrêmement gentil, chaleureux et attentionné. Endroit calme et paisible. Petit déjeuner parfait. Emplacement idéal et parking privé très facile d’accès. Je recommande sans hésiter!
Katleen
Séjour de 1 semaine
Accueil très chaleureux. Nous sommes arrivés en provenance du Canada et ils nous ont accueilli à 9:00 avec un déjeuner et ont gardé nos valises vu que la chambre n’était pas prête.
Café, eau et salle disponible pour y manger (avec notre nourriture)
Notre départ était très tôt et ils nous ont préparé une assiette avec quelques trucs pour manger.
Air climatisé très fonctionnel!
Pas de réfrigérateur, mais il y a une épicerie à 5 minutes de marche avec un comptoir de prêt à manger. (Pinco Dolce)
Chinese store près de l’épicerie.
Stationnement disponible à 12 euros par jour très pratique. Juste à côté et on peut entrer et sortir à notre guise.

Only location for room in basemant - really bad. Noise, can not open window because lot of cars drive there fast.

We loved our stay at this beautiful property. The staff were exceptionally helpful, with great suggestions on local attractions, dining etc. The room was lovely and the breakfast was super. Everything was spotlessly clean and the beds were very comfortable. We loved it and would definitely stay there again.
Corinne
The staff were super welcoming and helpful! The location is convenient to the metro to the airport, and close to the busy areas of Porto, with just enough distance to be quiet and relaxing. The room has a lovely balcony and (important for the summer!) great AC! Also, the breakfast spread is lovely with plenty of options beyond bread & jam -- fresh juice, fruit, pastries, yogurt, cereal, eggs, cold cuts, etc.
hubert
Staff were helpful and courteous.
The challenge for me was the limited orden e of staff. After 5 there is nobody around. The receptionist responds if you send an email about a specific concern or question but you do lot have the associated services Such as access to information, getting a taxi, etc. there’s nobody.

Helpful desk. Clean. No elevator- should enquire age of client for room availability on lower floor. Long life milk for coffee outside of breakfast time. Glasses in room. Safe in room. Couple drawers for clothes.
Wendy
Excellent guest house close to city centre
We asked for a quiet room and were given a garden room which was very quiet. Hotel building is modern, stylish and clean. Marta on reception is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice. Our room was nice, wifi was good, bed comfy, shower good. It is in a great location to walk around Porto and to the river. We enjoyed our stay and would happily return.
Eugene
Easy distance to the things to see in Porto
Outside of the old part of Porto, but walkable although it is really uphill from the river. The Metro was a short walk away, with a station on the south bank of the Douro.
Marla, on the front desk, was very helpful with transit and restaurant recommendations.

Nice hotel in Porto
Nice hotel about a 10 minute walk to the metro. Rooms were comfortable and staff were very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was nice with selection of breads, cold meats and cheese, fruit, some pastries, eggs and coffee/tea.

A wonderful time
We had a wonderful time in Porto and loved the hotel which is so conveniently situated between Lapa and Trindade metro stations, Trindade being a hub, so handy for going to many places.
Traci
The breakfast was excellent. Varied from day to day and plentiful. Im coeliac & gluten free bread was provided. The staff were incredible.
Matthias Johannes
We stayed for nine days. We received a very warm welcome and were given lots of information about places to visit. The room we had was clean and comfortable. The breakfast provided was excellent and the staff were very attentive and friendy. We had a hire car and it was a relief to be able to park it somewhere safe & convenient. The hotel is a 40 minute walk to the main tourist attractions in Porto. Generally it is an excellent place to stay.

Great value for money in the center of Porto
We booked a deluxe room, and loved the place:
- Staff is incredibly friendly
- Room was modern, clean and spacious
- Daily breakfast is modest but has all you need, including fresh orange juice
- Good location, 10 mins walk to city center
We heard some of the other rooms weren’t as good, so I recommend paying a bit extra for the deluxe. Anyway, we had a fabulous time.

Good stay but read on….
Overall, it was a good stay. The downsides are no one at the front desk to ask questions and get help the majority of the time and breakfast starts at 8-8:30. Most tours and transportation occurs before this time so breakfast gets missed. They do not offer a to go breakfast bag like many hotels offer. The room and bed were fine.

Perfect place in Porto
Great location, actually very close to city centre and walking distance to most of the Porto’s attractions.
Beautiful modern design, great customer service.
Local supermarkets nearby, high class and locals restaurants are only 5 minutes distance.
Bonus is the free tea, coffee and water 24 hours. Because I was struggling where to have my hot tea in other hotel room! Free hot water is a gem for tea obsessed traveler.
Oh and the free self-laundry!
We will come back for sure.

Nicely renovated city house.
Renovated building with an excellent design. Tasty breakfasts, friendly host and possibility to park your car nearby. It is within walking distance to the center, but remember, Porto is mostly on hills;) the only problem we had is \"delux\" room with no daylight. It is a room without window. The only window was in a bathroom with a glass door.
Mauricio

The staff were very helpfull and the rooms were unique- bathroom was large and had a beautiful tiled floor. Bed was very comfortable. When we left it was raining hard and Anna, who was at the front desk that morning, actually escorted each of us to our cab across the street with an umbrella. Very thoughtful. Overall a charming guest house!
Angelina
We didn’t stay in this place, they relocated us to an apparent that was ok but the bathroom shower was mouldy, they really need to scrubber the bathroom, the soap dispenser was almost out of the wall, to use the washer machine we had to clean the softener dispenser that was all black mouldy! Don’t know was wrong in Porto but seems that cleanesty is not priority, completely disappeared!!

On a positive note,staff was extremely pleasant and healpful.

Modern boutique hotel with lovely courtyard. Good breakfast. Informative and thorough check in though quite lengthy (over 20 min wait with 2 people ahead of us). Poor soundproofing - can hear people clearly next door. A bit further from places to see but we love to walk so not a big deal for us. They provide a complementary phone with internet and minutes for calling which was really handy for making reservations. App also provides their recommendations for places to see and where to eat. Overall great stay
Verified traveler
Brilliant location, friendly and very helpful staff, and comfortable modern rooms. If you’re sensitive to noise then request a room at the back of the building as the road at the front can be noisy.

Amazing stay!
We had an amazing stay at BO - Álvares Cabral Guest House. The service was very professional, communication was very easy, our room was always perfectly clean and the breakfast is very good and well organized! They even lend us a local smartphone for our stay. We used is a lot for getting around the city easily. I recommend this guest house without any hesitation!
Verified traveler
Location was great. 10 minute walk to the downtown area. We enjoyed our room it was large and modern with soft towels. Upon our arrival we were given a map with excellent recommendations and things to see and do. Breakfast was great. The only draw back that we had was our room faced the street and it was noisy at times. Alphonso was very helpful with everything including changing our cab ride a couple of times.
Valentina
This is a tidy and clean hotel in an excellent location. The breakfast is very good while the shower is most refreshing. Great place to stay in a great city!
Samantha
Great hotel, We got a map, a phone and lots of information when we arrived. Room was great but we noticed a few hairs on the back of the bathroom door.
Stefan
Gem of a guesthouse in a lovely city
Beautiful guest house, well located for a city trip around Porto - an incredible city! The rooms and common areas are wonderfully decorated and clean and stylish, breakfast is simple (toast / cold meats / fruit / cereal) but plentiful. Theres even a terrace at the back to enjoy a coffee and book after breakfast which gets great morning sunshine. Would 100% recommend this as a B&B for a city break and we’ll be booking back in again in the future. Also easy to get to on the light rail from the airport.
Kathleen

It was a lovely hotel and we were made to feel very welcome. We were given a complimentary breakfast on arrival and given access to our room well before the advertised time.

Thumbs Up!
Nice place to stay. Clean, quiet, modern. Breakfast buffet is included and the selection is quite good. Coffee, tea and treats available all day long. Good wifi . The bonus is there is a washer and dryer to use, soap provided. It is a 20-30 minute walk to the main attractions in town but there is a metro stop near by and a number of buses. I am a walker so didnt try either.

La habitación que nos dieron era húmeda y fría, seguramente que en verano es más agradable pero para el mes de octubre es muy húmeda. Solo tenían 2 habitaciones en el patio interior. Muy buen desayuno. El hotel limpio y cuidado.

Frühstück war gut. Es gibt auch einen Wäscheaum mit Möglichkeit kostenlos eine Waschmaschine, sowie Trockner zu nutzen bzw die Wösche aufzuhängen. Zimmer war sauber und groß genug. Jedoch hat es im Zimmer extrem schlecht gerochen. Wir haben vermutet, dass die Dusch(trasse) spritzt oder ausläuft. Das Hotel hat extra gereinigt und einen Entfeuchter aufgestellt, hat leider nicht komplett geholfen. Und das wirklich schnell, obwohl es Sonntags war.

Unterkunft liegt gut. Nahe zu Metrostation, nahe zum Zentrum. Unkomplizierte Handhabung für Check in und Check out. Wasser, Tee, Kaffe und Süsses den ganzen Tag kostenlos erhältlich. Gute Auswahl für Frühstück, es hat aber auch tolle Cafés in der Nähe zum Brunchen. Restaurants auch in Gehdistanz. Zimmer war sauber. Einrichtung simple, dürfte etwas gemütlicher sein, vorallem weil wir das Zimmer im Keller hatten. Andere Zimmer sind freundlicher. Würde diese Unterkunft wieder buchen.

Freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Alles sehr sauber. Zimmer war hellhörig.

Nous avons passe un agreable séjour.
La chambre etait sympa mais pas tres bien insonorisee (Chambre sur rue). Nous entendions les gens marcher au dessus de notre chambre. En revanche, le petit dejeuner etait top et le personnel très professionnel.
Letablissement est proche des centres d intérêts et station de métro.

Propreté correcte mais les chambres ne sont pas faites chaque jour.

Fint rum. Disken hade begränsade tider då den var bemannad, men man fick snart svar via telefon.

Perfect accomodation, breakfast and car parking!
Jutta
Gemütlicher, kleiner Speiseraum. Guter Orangensaft, frisches Obst klein geschnitten.

Le petit déjeuner est superbe!
Le personnel très sympathique.
L'hôtel est bien situé
Le gros point négatif concerne l'isolation phonique, c'est une cata sans boules Quies!

Veldig sentralt hotell med mange nydelige restauranter i nærheten. Liker du antikk-butikker, så er dette rette gata!
Sandro
Eine kleine, sehr schöne Unterkunft. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist hervorragend. Marta ist zuvorkommend und kümmert sich um jegliche Anliegen. Zimmer sind gut ausgestattet. Frühstück ist reichhaltig und lecker.
Absolut empfehlenswert!
Altstadt ist fußläufig zu erreichen.

Sehr schönes Guest House, gute Lage
Sehr freundliches Team, super Frühstück, und ein schönes Zimmer.
Würde jederzeit wieder kommen!
PS. Zimmer zur Straße, ist etwas lauter durch den Straßenverkehr.

Peu reposant et petit déjeuner médiocre
Bel établissement. Chambre propre et confortable.
Absence totale d'insonorisation : on entend les voitures rouler comme si la fenêtre était ouverte et nos voisins de chambre quand ils parlent et toussent, les personnes qui descendent l'escalier... Ce qui ne permet pas du tout un séjour reposant.
Le petit déjeuner est vraiment médiocre et de piètre qualité, cela dénote pour cet établissement qui se veut de standing élevé.
A noter que le parking se situe à 5min à pied pour 12€ la journée et qu'il n'est possible d'accéder à sa voiture qu'à des horaires fixes (pas d'automate, c'est une personne qui gère le parking).
Thé et café en self service au rez de chaussée.
La personne de l'accueil est serviable et aidante.
En résumé, beaucoup trop cher pour une nuit peu reposante et un petit déjeuner de mauvaise qualité.

Erittäin ystävällinen vastaanotto.
Kävelymatka vanhaankaupunkiin.
Erinomaisen laadukas aamiainen
Kokolattiamatto huoneessa tympeä
Huoneessa likaiset tuolit, ei voinut istua.
Hinta/ laatu hyvä.

Utmärkt service
Jag behövde checka in tidigare och receptionspersonen var väldigt vänlig och tog hand om min väska tidigare än check in tiden och sedan meddelade mig att rummet var redo. Dessutom behövde jag en tidig frukost för att jag skulle åka på en utflykt och kökspersonalen var väldigt hjälpsam med att förberedda smörgåsar att ta med mig innan frukosttiden hade börjat. Hotellet ligger på en fin gata, lite långt bort från Ribeira om du vill promenera dit och är inte van vid att promenera upp och ner för backar.

Det trænger til lidt omsorg.
Vi har besøgt hotellet 3 gange, og nu må vi nok sige det trænger til en renovering. Mange simple ting, som at skrue toiletsædet fast, ville også bidrage til et bedre indtryk.

Bo Alvares var en fin plass å bo i byen og var innen gangavstand til store deler av stedene vi ønsket å se.
I resepsjonen ble vi tatt godt imot og fikk mange gode tips til hva vi burde se under oppholdet.
Rommet var rent og pent, men sengen var ganske hard, Både meg og fruen våknet hver morgen og var sår grunnet dette.
Frokosten var ganske god.

Bon hôtel pour un séjour de 8 nuits : chambre calme avec balcon côté jardin, petit dèj correct, tb accueil (mention à Martha !) et personnel sympa/disponible.
Seul bémol : pas de vmc dans la salle de bain pour évacuer humidité et mauvaises odeurs, pas de petite table/chaise pour pouvoir lire/écrire.

Ristruttura recentemente offre un servizio eccellente.Professionalità e cortesia ci hanno accolti appena arrivati. Ottima colazione. Camera ampia. Giardino esterno per relax. Caffè e bevande disponibili sempre. Possibilità di lasciare i bagagli dopo il check out. Ci ritornerai sicuramente.

Emplacement pratique.
Personnel attentionné.
Les chambres sur la rue sont un peu bruyantes.

Séjour très agréable malgré la pluie. Heureusement le premier jour a été très ensoleillé.
Personnel très disponible.
L’hôtel est proche du métro et du centre-ville. Mais on a tout fait à pied pour profiter de la ville à fond.
Les portugais sont très accueillants et toujours prêt à nous aider même si on ne pouvait se comprendre avec des mots.

Hotelli on kävelymatkan päässä vanhasta kaupungista. Huone oli siisti ja suhteellisen tilava. Huoneiden välinen äänieristys ei ole paras mahdollinen mutta onneksi hotellissa ei ollut möykkääviä vieraita. Henkilökunta erittäin avuliasta ja ystävällistä.
