This was the worst hotel experience of my life. First, it’s very hard to find. GPS takes you to the street but the hotel is located down a dead-end steep narrow alley that you would not really want to drive down. Then you learn there is no hotel staff, its all digital, check in, the front door and your room door. If you’re there before check-in time there are lockers but they are pricy. When we got to our room it was not made up, all the towers were used, the bed was a mess and you could see plenty of long hair in the bed. Then you also learn there is no phone number you can call, they only communicate via WhatsApp. After an hour of back and forth, they told us they had no one available to make up the room. They agreed to refund us for both nights we were to stay there. We ended up turning the sheets inside out and removed them from the comforter and didn’t shower in the morning. We were out for the day the next day and when we returned, the room was still not made up for a second time. When we entered the hotel I saw the maid downstairs so I immediately ran down. She did speak English and explained that we did not scan the QR code to have our room made up. I had not noticed next to the room inside door was QR that you had to us if you wanted your room made up during your stay. But after what we went through, I was furious. I asked if she could do the room now, which she said she could not. The only thing she would do is give me the sheets and towels and a bag for the dirty

There is no front desk so I cannot comment how helpful the staff is. If you are looking to stay in a 5 star hotel, this is not for you. This hotel provides you with the basic needs: bed with clean sheets and clean bathroom. The room was a decent size but had a strange layout. The bathroom was tiny but fine for a single traveler. The hotel is near the bottom of a hill. The taxis will drop you at the top of the hill as the street does not go through and it is difficult to back up the street. Not a big deal unless you have a lot of / or heavy luggage.
Would I stay here again, yes as I need very little from the hotel or it's staff.
Should you stay here? If you need assistance with anything, probably not.

Great location. Rooms were spacious and guest kitchen was useful. There were no actual staff to help troubleshoot. Relies on virtual assistants. Unfortunately with all the granite and narrow alleys in Porto, phone reception isn’t great so that’s an issue. WiFi available once you manage to get in the building but that wasn’t great either and had weak security. I would prefer a human host.

Before we booked this Hotel, we saw many positive reviews. However our stay was disappointing.

We landed in Porto early in the morning, so we used the luggage lockers. The cost is €2.50 per hour, and given that check in is late (4PM), we ended up paying around €20.

When we asked for an early check-in, and the agent over the email told us that the room was available, we followed the instructions however the room was not opening. We reached out via the messages, and ended up receiving the same copy and paste message over and over. We were instructed to input the number correctly, which we were doing. In fact, at 4PM we used the same code and it finally worked.

We understood that other residents were struggling with a similar issue as a day later we spoke to a couple who told us that they cannot get into the room. Having someone at the hotel would be really helpful.

The room was spacious, but there were a lot of plaster marks on the wall, as per the attached images. The headboard had scratches marks on it as well.

Towels were not changed either. We learned that you would have to book it and pay extra as well.

The plus side of this hotel is that the location is close to touristic attractions.

However, unfortunately, it was a frustrating experience on the whole. This is because the Hotel may seem budget friendly at first, but would be more expensive with add ons. You would might as well go for a 4 start Hotel and get better facilities and service.

This was a very disappointing hotel experience.

1. No customer service on weekends.

If you follow the online check-in process provided by the hotel before arrival, you’ll receive the main gate and room PIN codes — but you cannot check in early. There’s no customer service available on weekends.

2. Limited free lockers.

Although the hotel offers free lockers, there are not many. If you arrive with two large luggage’s, you’ll likely find there’s not enough space to store them. I experienced this problem myself, but thankfully, I met a kind cleaner who allowed me to leave my luggages in their storage room. I truly appreciate her kindness.

3. Very small room.

The room was extremely small — it was impossible to open two luggages flat on the floor.

4. Bathroom issues.

The bathroom ventilation fan didn’t work. The shower had strong water pressure, but the showerhead holder was loose, so once the water was turned on, the spray hit the opposite wall directly.

5. Electrical problems (the worst part).

At night, the power went out — twice. If I hadn’t known how to reset it myself, I would have spent the entire night without electricity. Again, there was no customer service available on weekends to help.

I chose this hotel mainly because of its price and the convenient walking distance to Porto’s main attractions, but other than that, I can’t say there was anything satisfying about my stay.

The room was very dirty and mouldy, with a burnt floor in the bathroom. The photos were misleading, and I found a lot of hair on the bedsheet, which was extremely unhygienic. It was also difficult to contact any staff as the property operates entirely through self check-in.

For the price the location was quite nice. One area that was my only real gripe is that the power to the room would regularly shut off. If you plugged in anything more than 3 items into the wall the power dies. Let alone if you use the hairdryer too much it dies as well. Overall decent experience though.

Cons:
- The facility's sound system was not great, the floors creaked and the walls are thin so we could hear the units around us.
- There was only one elevator that fits one person with a suitcase, so there could be a long wait time to use the elevators.
- There's no receptionist but there's a live chat that works during certain hours. I left them a message during off hours but they didn't reply at all.
- The toiletries supply was limited - they gave 2 small bottles of 2in1 Shampoo+body wash, no conditioner. You can ask for more upon request.
- There's eight luggage storage space at the hotel and they're first come first serve, if its full, they recommend you to storage it lockers at the train station.

Pro:
- Location was good, the area is quiet at night and it's walkable to many places.
- Clean - housekeeper did a good job with the cleaning.

This hotel was an absolute nightmare from start to finish. The shower was broken—water was leaking from the showerhead, and the drain was completely clogged, causing the shower to flood the bathroom floor every time we tried to use it. The sink barely worked for washing hands, but the main problem was the shower flooding the entire floor.

The toilet seat was broken, and when we tried to reach out to customer service (which is only available on WhatsApp due to virtual check-in), no one responded for the entire 48 hours we were there. There is literally no one at a front desk ever.

After hours of begging, the cleaning lady finally let us use her phone to contact someone—but then took her phone away, leaving us stranded again. Only after we became extremely angry did she contact her boss. After endless negotiation, we were allowed to shower in another room, but were never given a new room. They promised to send a technician to unclog the shower, but nothing was actually done during our stay.

The room itself was tiny, cramped, and poorly maintained. It was not fully clean, with toilet paper leftover from previous guests, dirt, and general neglect. Overall, this was the worst hotel experience I have ever had. Customer service was nonexistent, the rooms are ridiculously small, and the facilities are in terrible condition.

Do yourself a favor and avoid this hotel at all costs. Horrible experience.

Perfect for parking your bags and travelling around Porto. Maybe not the best hotel if you don’t know Portugal well as youll need a hotel staff to guide you and this is an automated hotel. But if you seen other cities and get the gist of Portugal then this is perfect. Walk down the river, nod and smile at random British people youll see just to see if they are cool about the whole Boston tea party thing and just go chill.

The room itself was quite large and spacious, which was a nice surprise, and it included a generously sized closet. One of the windows offered a lovely view, which we appreciated during our stay.

A major downside, however, was the bathroom sink — it was badly clogged from the start. Despite reaching out via the WhatsApp contact posted in the room, we received no response during our entire four-day stay. The sink would overflow quickly, making basic tasks like shaving, brushing teeth, or even washing hands for more than 20 seconds frustrating and messy. The shallow basin and poor drainage significantly impacted our overall experience.

There was spackling visible on nearly every wall, which made the room feel a bit unfinished.

On a positive note, we were able to store our bags in a secure locker upon arrival before check-in, which was convenient. The location was also quite good — about a 5–10 minute walk to the nearest subway station and close to the train station. It was easy to get to the water and walk around the city from there, making it a great base for exploring Porto.

Very clean. Nice bathroom. Good for the price. Really easy to check in. Lockers available to leave luggage which is really appreciated. Only thing is we had a problem with the electricity and the staff were no help at all, telling us that it wasn’t their problem. So the costumer service is not good. They answered quickly on WhatsApp tho.

Location of the accomodation was good, near to metro and train station and food choices. Room was adequate with sink, kettle etc. Check in was simple, using numeric code, and there was no reception counter. However the check in timing was very strict at 4pm. In addition, there was not enough lockers to be used in the event you need to use one to temporarily store your luggages.

Absolutely terrible stay! This property is all virtual and which caused for lack of communication. Not helpful and would not assist us in any issues that arose. Took three days to hear back once we checked out. Our power went out in our room and we had no electricity, lights, and AC. They could not offer us another room but then at 11pm at night offered to move us hotels even though we contacted them in the morning and were checking out at 7am the next morning. Our shower head was broken and shower pressure was super poor! Then the drains weren’t working causing floods. Once I got ahold of them today they stated that we did not reach out, however Expedia reached out on our behalf several times and they denied refunds.

Checking in was a nightmare. There is no front desk person and we arrived early. The phone number didn’t work, all messages we sent had an AI response telling us incessantly to check in online (which we did days before arrival). We finally received a text with our room info but the codes did not work for 3 more hours. When we got to our room, it was under construction and there was no wifi code. So we had to go back and message them again and were told “they already sent it to us” but they did not. Argh.

The location is great but the communication is poor. We never received lock code to get in. I had to call their customer service and then they informed it’s because we booked from Expedia that’s why we didn’t receive an email. But this should not be on the guest, its owners responsibility. Secondly, there is no front desk. They give you WhatsApp number to contact for help. We reached out to them but never got any response ever. The rooms are tiny, the closet was broken so we couldn’t use it. The bathroom was small and in poor condition. The place is inexpensive so you get what you pay. I won’t book it again though.

Let’s start with the positives
the kitchenette was a big plus when you're tired of eating out. It was stocked with all the dishes, including a small pack of olive oil and salt, which was thoughtful. We also loved the separate dining area with two chairs.
When booking a room, we usually look for three things: a comfortable bed, a clean, modern bathroom, and a good location. The bathroom was great, and the location was good too, but be warned, it's on a super steep hill. Even with just two carry ons, walking up from the subway was rough.
The bed was much smaller than a standard queen, and the room had enough space for a king, we barely slept as we weren’t able to move!
The biggest issue though? No staff. Not one person. This isn’t made clear when booking, likely on purpose. As tourists without local data, we had to turn on roaming (costing $30) just to get the entry code. There was no Wi-Fi info in the email or room.
There’s a useless WhatsApp number posted, but no one responds. We got two very thin pillows, and with no staff, we had to use our clothes for extra support.
We even saw other confused guests stuck outside, unable to access help due to no internet. We let them in so they could figure things out.
Overall, I won’t stay here again and wouldn’t recommend it. I prefer places with 24/7 staff you can rely on

This property was in a great location and the room was big! Plenty of room to relax at the end of the day. I think, however, the hotel needs to better describe what fully automated means. I had no idea there wouldn’t be a person on staff. I wasn’t able to check in from the first e-mail that was sent because there were accidentally 2 people in the booking but I was traveling alone. I responded immediately to hotel and they told me they would change the booking. They did not do that in advance so when I arrived at the hotel in the pouring rain I couldn’t get in. That was frustrating. They did respond to phone call and I was able to check in. Once again I was confused because they use the word “pass” for room. I have traveled extensively and never heard that term either. After the initial confusion everything was great. I am an older person so not as tech savvy and I think word choice in hotel description could be improved for old people like me.

The property looks newly renovated with hi tech feeling. The room was clean and the check-in was fast and easy. The location is \"in the middle of everything\". The property has locking boxes where you can temporarily store your belongings. They had a nice terrace at second floor.
Cons:
- comunications. Through Expedia you get no answers. Through the phone they posted, as well. Through the phone they send you 3 days in advance for SMS and WhatsApp nothing. I sent a message asking for parking options, and I got total silence.
- on line check-in. To be able to receive the pass to enter your room, one has to enter personal data (for Portugese officials) and (a big surprise) the time of arrival and time of leave to the minutes. Who knows 3 days in advance the exact time to the minutes.
- electrical outlets. No matter how we moved the beds, at least one outlet beside bed was covered by bed. We couldn't use it to charge the phone.
- sound proofing. If you have good neighbors and sound sleep, all ok. If not, you can hear the ones above walking on the squeaky floor, the one beside talking and listening to tv, the frige (or something similar) from the building beside.
- balcony. We had one in front of our window but to go there we must jump through the window (no door)
- room view. We had a beautiful view of the back of a building and inside their rooms.
- shower. The shower head was totally straight and flat, and the support was keeping it parallel with the wall. Water flows above.

I realize that inexpensive bookings means you get what you pay for but this was on a different level. 1) I only received an email regarding how to enter my room after I contacted Mystay when I found myself locked out the building in the middle of the night. 2) I found moths flitting around my room when I got in. 3) Found actual body hair that I took a picture of on the floor of my bathroom. Awful and disgusting. Nice area tho.

First of all, google maps led us up to this hotel, from Sao Bento station, up the steepest incline and set of stairs, I have ever encountered. If directions tries to take you up Rua Madeira, from that main, crazy intersection, look for parallel streets that will get you there more gradually. There was a lot of graffiti and broken glass in the area, and the following morning, there was usually an empty liquor bottle or beer bottles left on the stairs. The code to enter the building worked great, and our room was on the ground floor, which I think is the only one. The patio area was quite small, and practically enclosed, so you couldn’t see anything. The lounge was never open that I saw, so cannot comment on it. It was great that there are lockers there to store your luggage if the room isn’t ready. We never went down the steep hill to look for restaurants or shopping, since there is so much available at the top of the hill. It’s also close to the top of the Dom Luis bridge. Bed was comfortable and shower worked great. Would stay again, but would choose a balcony instead of the terrace, due to the lack of view of anything.

BLACK MOLD!! This apartment has a lot of black mold which is extremely dangerous and when I asked to be moved to a different room they said there wasn’t another room available and they didn’t offer me any other solution so I had no choice but to stay in the room. The street in front of the apartment is incredibly steep and slick when it rains which is often and my husband fell and possibly broke his wrist. There is no one on duty at the apartment to assist with anything. Online said parking and breakfast is available which is completely false. You have to find your own parking wherever you can and zero food is available at the apartment. I would never stay here again!!

Nice stay in a happing part of Porto

This stay was exceptionally clean and in new condition and the room had option for bright daylight and an open space feel. The elevator is tiny and steps are significant if staying on an upper floor. The location was very good for convenience of walking, with restaurants, shops and tourist attractions nearby. It was also very close to a train station and a tour booking service. We were able to get overnight parking within a couple of blocks. Of note you do not want to try to drive directly to the door as it is a steep downhill that you must then back out to exit.

We choose this property because of cost, proximity, and simplicity. We were happy with all three. We arrived early in Porto by train and were able to put our small amount of luggage into lockers at the property until our rooms were ready. It worked out great! Our twin room was small and quaint, but had everything we need for a night’s stay. Checkout was at noon, and we again utilized the lockers for our luggage until we left for our train back to Lisbon. Really enjoyed the convenience of the location and the easy Uber from Batalha Square at the top of the short but fairly steep walk up the hill from the hotel. I would recommend MyStay Porto Batalha for anyone wanting a lovely Porto experience in a budget! Thank you Lissette for helping us get our room cool on a hot day.

Overall, the location of the property was the best thing about it. On the downside, it was located on a very steep street, difficult to access with suitcases. In addition, the elevator was so small that it was difficult for two people with suitcases to fit. In addition, the staffing plan at the front desk was inadequate. When we arrived, there was no one there, although there was a sign that said, “We will be right back.” They were not right back until the next day. One of our travel partners was assigned a room that smelled very musty, and felt like a basement. On the upside, the desk personnel did help our travel partners secure a new room in which they could sleep, so that was helpful. The woman who was in charge of the breakfast buffet was excellent, she worked so hard to keep all items refilled, and greeted all the guests with a very pleasant good morning. She was a real plus.

STAY AWAY FROM MY STAY

The best thing I could say about MyStay Batalha is well, nothing. The room is beyond minimalist. The closet is a rolling clothes rack. The two white formica tables look cheap like five and dime store products. The Internet service is slow and intermittent;the electrical outlets on either side of the bed are difficult to use because the mattress gets in the way; the electric hot water heater has no place to plug in unless you unplug the refrigerator outlet to heat up some water for the two teabags they provided. The bathroom has no place to leave your toiletries unless you want to leave it on top of the toilet. The shower is very slippery. You need to be careful not to slip onto the glass doors. I was in the shower, trying to open the little soap packet they left. it was impossible to open so I left the shower to get my own soap, leaving wet footprints on the wood floor. When I used a towel to dry up the moisture, the towel was dirty….not a great endorsement for their cleaning ability. Their HVAC did not work and blew cold air with a temperature setting of 30°C. When I asked for another room they did n have any available. Later I was told management knew the heating system was faulty. I don’t recommend this place. there are much better places to say in Porto with the same price point. I surprised there weren’t bed bugs.

Nice 3 day stay in Porto

The front desk staff was so helpful with touristing tips and getting us a ride to the airport. The desk is not staffed all hours and the room doors are keyless (on a number pad). Breakfast was adequate. The hotel is on a hill and there are good ways and bad ways to get to it (i.e. stairs, or a tall hill or skirting around the hill). It is very well located for accessing restaurants and a laundry.
