Wow wow wow. We booked this for a girls getaway and we're blown away - firstly by the gorgeous expensive scent of the place as you walk in (whatever it is, I need it as a candle in my house!). The. We were greeted by the kindest host, Julio (I think that's his name).He offered to carry our bags, and invited us back down the the bar/lounge once we'd freshened up for a glass of port whilst he talked us through the city map and things to do over the weekend. The room was big, with blackout shutters and a nice little kitchenette too. The beds were firm and the shower powerful. It was slap bang opposite the Bolhalo market (which is lovely) and some lovely indie coffee shops. It was perfect for what we wanted and I would definitely stay there again.

The entire staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. I would like to specifically mention Suraya, who was a sweetheart and always willing to assist us. Additionally, the gentleman at the front desk provided us with many excellent tips and suggestions.

I cannot say enough how much I enjoyed my stay. Thank you for such a fantastic experience.

We had a wonderful time in Porto. Our stay at the B The Guest Downtown was fabulous from the moment we arrived to the final goodbye today when we left. The location was great. The breakfast team Sonaia, Carla and Carol were brilliant, nothing was too much trouble and the freshly served food was a delight. With changes everyday. We were treated to a feast everyday to start the day off properly. We will definitely return for another stay when we are in Porto again.

Nice place to stay. Quiet. Conveniently located. 5 minutes walk to the metro station. The metro brings me direct to the international airport.
Only downside for some might be it has no lift. I am ok with this as the wonderful staff helped me with my big heavy luggage.

The hotel is difficult to locate, Google maps takes you to one street over. When you find the front door it looks like an apartment entrance in a row of shops. Then you have to climb stairs. But it is worth the effort. Great staff and service. Lots of character and very clean.

The area around the property seemed quite safe. There were a lot of food options around and the hotel is located right in front of a lovely food market. The staff was incredibly nice, attentive, and caring. The room was big and spacious. The only improvements I would suggest is to increase the brightness in the bathroom given the tiling is dark, and to ensure there are no bugs in the room before guests check in as there were two flies and a mosquito in our room which we had to chase to get rid of. We would stay at this location again.

A lovely hotel

Well, what can I say about this hotel. Superb in every way. Maria the receptionist is the most lovely, helpful, caring receptionist I have ever met, she could not do enough for us. There is only 11 rooms so it didn't feel busy, breakfast was good, with a good selection and freshly prepared eggs. The rooms were nice, the location was amazing (right opposite a massive Indoor Market selling all sorts of produce) and next door to the most amazing bakery.
Only downsides to the hotel were no lift, but it's only 3 floors and our bag was put in our room for us when we arrived.
All in all a great hotel and would be happy to stay there again

While the location was clean and quiet and convenient, it was really the staff that made our stay special. Maria, Anna and Tiago went out of their way to help us out. We had trouble accessing entry tickets to Livraria Llelo and Tiago spent a lot of time going through the process online to print tickets for us. Anna joined us in a lovely conversation over glasses of complimentary port and Maria provided such a gracious and friendly checkin. The breakfasts here were the best of the ten or so on our trip and a very nice young man hailed us an Uber at checkout when there were no taxis available using his account to do so.

4 days staying in Porto

the hotel is at a good location near downtown with easy access to the main Porto attractions. however as it is in an old building, no lift for guest, but the staff is helpful in helping to carry the luggage up.
the street of the building is blocked due to reconstruction of the old historical market, hence need to walk around one block to access the metro and shopping street.

we would like to give thanks to Mariana, for her friendliness, and info guiding. also want to thanks to Diego, for his wealth knowledge sharing of port wine, and port wine treat.

There is no lift for persons, so people with mobility issues might have a problem. We are in our late 60s and it wasn't a big deal for us. Great value for the price.

Great friendly little hotel

From the welcome to leaving we were made to feel at home, a lovely friendly hotel. The room was a good size and comfortable. The breakfast was plentiful and fresh. We were asked every morning if we wanted eggs and how we would like them cooked.
A free glass of port on our welcome and some great suggestions of places to go, certainly helped us. Would recommend this hotel.
The only downside, and totally out of the hands of the hotel, is the Market opposite is being renovated, no noise affected us, but you have to walk round the block to get to everything, don't let that put you off though.

Great Hotel and Well Located

I could not say enough about the staff. They were friendly and willing to help us explore Porto and even booked our dinner reservations. They even prepared us a special take away breakfast for our early leave at 5:00 AM. The hotel is well located with various shopping and eateries in the area.

Lovely hotel in the middle of Porto with all the main sights within walking distance. Don’t let the entrance, just a door directly onto the street put you off, behind it the hotel opens out to cool and beautiful public areas and excellent bedrooms.

The staff were the best - professional, smiley, knowledgable and always willing to do their best to make our stay as comfortable as possible.

Highly recommended.

Very nice place and location, but too loud

I'm sad to write this review as the people were very friendly, the location was ideal and the bar and lounge area were lovely. A free welcome glass of port was a nice touch and breakfast was included. However, the room was unbelievably loud. Every time the neighbors either above or next to us arrived home I was awoken or unable to sleep. It is simply not soundproof enough to be a hotel that I would go back to. The room shook when neighbors walked and furniture moving produced screeching. Earplugs and white noise machines did not compensate.

Cute, artsy hotel

Cute, artsy hotel with character. Very comfortable bed with a nice little balcony overlooking the market (under construction during my stay, unfortunately.) Antonio was very helpful, as well as the woman who was preparing breakfast in the morning who called me a taxi and made sure I didn't miss my train!

It is in a perfectly convenient location in Porto Old Town area. Everything is in walking distance. Be aware, though, that if you are mobility impaired in any way, this is not for you. There is a steep stairway up to where you check in, so you must carry your luggage up the steps. Once checked in, there is a “dumbwaiter” for your luggage but you may have to walk up to three more flights of steps depending on where your room is located. Friendly, helpful staff, clean rooms, wonder breakfast included (eggs made to order), convenient location... all is well! Thank you Marta and Vitória, for making our stay memorable.

The grand looking bar just behind the reception desk. Bit of a mission getting up stairs with my suitcase as no lift but worth it!
Stay overall was great. Location was great as Metro station just around the corner. Short walk to river as well.
Super friendly staff especially Marta who was lovely! Always friendly and helpful. Her homemade cakes are absolutely delicious! Would definitely stay here again if I visit Porto and recommend to anyone else visiting.

Got back from an unforgettable stay a week ago and I am still in awe. What can I say, it was a truly amazing stay. Thank you everyone at B The Guest for making my stay in Porto an unforgettable one. Every thing was just perfect and everyone so nice, so friendly and so helpful. Thank you to everyone. The room was truly awesome, the top notch breakfast perfect for a great start, the hotel itself is a gem, just like the whole staff and everyone involved! And what can I say, the location is hardly beatable, directly across the wonderful market. Thank you for all the great tips I got, and the delicious port. I can only highly recomment everyone stay here, you won't regret it. I will be back for sure.

Superbe séjour

Nous avons passé 5nuits dans l'hôtel avec notre bébé de 4mois et franchement nous n'avons rien à redire!
Tout a été fait pour nous simplifier la vie, un lit bébé était installé dans la chambre à notre arrivée et une chaise haute était disponible pour les petits déjeuners.
A l'accueil le monsieur était présent pour nous conseiller sur les endroits à découvrir et nous avons pu profiter de l'happy hour pour goûter vins et portos

Perfeição descreve esta estadia.

Desde a recepção feita pelo Tiago até o atendimento da Carol no café da manhã toda a experiência foi fantástica. Realmente nos sentimos como “convidados”. Na chegada nós foi servido um delicioso vinho do Porto e um bolo de chocolate que aqueceram nossa noite. O hotel é muito bem localizado e tudo foi perfeito.

Kamer werd netjes schoongemaakt en een goede douche.
Het enige dat wij misten was een goed kussen maar dat is persoonlijk.
Heel fijn hotel met alles in de buurt.
