The guest house is in a great, central location, close to restaurants and sights. Easy to access from the airport (Line E to Trinidade and transfer for 1 stop to Aliados), although the hotel is then another 7 min walk up a steep hill.
The room is very basic, like a dorm, bare bones. Shower is small and leaked water. Would be great if they had a coffeemaker in the room or even cups. The alternative is to go the kitchen on the 2nd floor between 8-5 to request it. Breakfast is included, starting at 8 am and is a simple continental spread.
The worst part of the stay is the loud noise all through the night that you can hear even from the higher floors, recommend going somewhere else if you’re a light sleeper or bring ear plugs. Otherwise, it’s ok for a few nights.

The room was clean, staff were friendly and helpful and location was great. Breakfast was uninspired. I’d say this was a two star hotel. Very affordable though compared to others in the area. There is noise from the clubs in the area at night, yet I didn’t find it too bothersome.

BEDBUGS!!!!!! Many unpleasant aspects: extremely loud club music through the floor until 6am even on weekdays, wifi worked maybe 1/3 of the time, they have a policy where you can't take your room keys outside requiring an interaction (or basically permission) to leave. All that I can deal with but being covered in itchy red welts from BEDBUGS is unacceptable! After inspecting the bed we found a couple bugs and signs that they had been living on that mattress for a while. Gross.

Loud music and hard beds

It was very clean and front desk staff were great. They allowed me to keep my bag there while touring the city prior to check in. The downside is that it is near night clubs and a strip club is next store so there was music playing until 3 am so I got no sleep after traveling overnight the night before. I could hear breakfast set up early morning and just got no sleep. The beds were also very hard and uncomfortable. You stay at a place like this just to have a bed to sleep and a shower with no frills. But if you can’t sleep there is no point which brings me to my overall poor rating. I checked out a day early to go elsewhere.

This weird little place is over a strip club, with loud, pounding music and shouting revelers till dawn on a Tuesday! Tiny room with a lightless window to an alley; dirty blanket. After booking one night, they emailed me that 2 nights were required so I paid for 2 but left as soon as I could get out of there. Nothing positive to say except that it's well-located--find something else nearby!

Booked last minute and was exactly what we expected for the money. Clean and friendly, super little breakfast and right in the middle of everything. We arrived very late on a Monday night and nothing was any trouble. Brilliant.

Not sure if the surrounding bars are always open late but on the night we stayed, the music was thump, thump, thumping til around 3-4am.

Not a problem for us as we both like a busy neighbourhood and find the noise quite a comfort.

The hotel room is not comfortable. We were moved (from a single) to the double we paid for after 1st night. A 3-star is never going to be fancy but there’s still things you would expect (comfy linen, a shower with holder, a tv that has a remote and isn’t in the top corner of the room) after paying nearly £300. The breakfast is very cheap ingredients and a lot of sugar. The staff were friendly and helpful which was nice. The location is very convenient for exploring the city, but be aware you are above a row of bars open until 4am (great if you’re looking for that kind of trip). Overall our stay didn’t represent good value for money.

The good stuff is that the hotel is right next to everything you need in the city ... you can easily walk to see most of the attractions the city has to offer.

The down side is that the noise from nearby establishments goes on until about 0430 in the morning if you are lucky ... definitely recommend ear plugs ... if you are sensitive to bass vibrations too then give this place a miss.

The en-suite in our room was extremely compact and being a larger kind of guy was a struggle sometimes.

But on the whole ... given the price and convenience of the place ... it was OK overall.

Location was excellent. Noise was not so bad as it was said by others. There was no safe in the room and a note on the door saying if anything happens hotel takes no responsibility. And reception refuse to keep anything except passport. It didn't say it was with shared bathroom until I receive the confirmation. There were only 2 showers with an additional toilet to share with others, one of showers was broken and I had to hold it while I was using. There is no phone, no fridge, no sink and no mirror in the room. Breakfast was 3 pieces of bread with jam/butter and tea/coffee. Air-conditioning /TV were working.

It felt more like a hostel than a hotel. You have to lock yourself in your room which is a fire hazard. They make you give back the key when you go out which is unusual. The rooms were small and it is an extremely loud neighborhood. The beds were okay, but not great. Wouldn't stay here again, but it would work in a pinch. I certainly wouldn't give it 3 stars, 2 at best.

Location excellent. Room and facilities were as expected for the price and totally fine. Breakfast good. Staff helpful and friendly.
I was aware, from reading other reviews, that there were noise issues at night from the local bar(s). Sadly this was true and, despite being on the third floor and having the window closed, this was still a big problem. I can handle a certain level of disturbance, especially when I expect it, but to have music playing until 6am was madness. I expected 2am, 3am or even 4am. But 6am?!
Sadly I would be unable to stay there in the future or recommend to anyone else as long as that is the case. Which is a shame because of the many positives.

Staff were very helpful and friendly. Our room (#203) was small, but clean and comfortable. The guest house is situated near restaurants, Lello bookstore, and walking distance from everywhere we wanted to visit. Breakfast was basic, but was as advertised and was enough. The only drawback for us was that our room was directly above a bar/restaurant that played music every night until 4 a.m. and that disturbed our sleep. I would gladly stay here again if we could be guaranteed a room on the top floor, not where we stayed. Thank you!

In The Center of Clerigos

Take the 601 or 602 bus from the airport (€1.95) to Clerigos & you
are a two minute walk to the Guest House---it feels more like a
fancy hostel than hotel---no phone, no fridge, limited bathroom lighting, tiny shower (minuscule---avoid if you are a person of girth), soap dispensers, tiny \"flat screen\" TV, outdoor music (really late) provided by the local pubs, and adequate breakfast...
I found the staff to be most accommodating & friendly---good restaurants in the surrounding area---walking to various sites was
simple & interesting---Wi-Fi very good---a reasonable cost for
what is provided...I would lodge there again...

If you’re looking for a bed and place to leave your stuff, it’ll do. The rooms are clean and the bed not terribly uncomfortable. The air conditioners work well and there are blackout curtains. It is in a very convenient location for exploring the city center also.

You will need the blackout curtains to catch up on the sleep you didn’t get before 6am because you can here the shouting and thumping music of nearby bars. I am a heavy sleeper and fell asleep before the noise started and it didn’t wake me, but upon waking up once anyway it was hard to fall back asleep.

The wifi is basically nonexistent. I tried to connect in my room and it told me the password was not correct, which was not true as I was able to get (an albeit weak) signal in the lobby. The front desk couldn’t offer much help with this problem.

Breakfast is available but it is 2 buns and a croissant with butter and jam, plus coffee and watered down Tang masquerading as juice. Passable if you’re not a big breakfast eater.

Finally the toilet in my room didn’t seem to flush properly. This was probably unique to my room and by the time I discovered it (I didn’t spend much time there), I was too frustrated to bother asking the front desk to look at it.

The front desk was friendly and helpful enough but there isn’t much that they can do to fix the fundamental problems with this place once you are there.

Great location but very basic

Hotel was located in a great spot in the centre of Porto, however the amenities were very basic. The shower was very small, I had to dodge/climb my way in.

Basic but clean hotel with great location

Great convenient location to tour around the main areas of Porto. In the nightlife district but stayed on a Sunday night so was very quiet. Basic but clean room and the air conditioner worked very well and washrooms were clean.
Simple breakfast (3 bread buns and jam and butter, with coffee or tea and a juice is available).
Also very close to the first stop of the 601 bus to the airport (took about 40 min for 1.95 euro).

Sleepless nights

This hotel was located right in the historic part of porto with good access to all the sights. However, if you are a light sleeper this hotel is not for you. The music from the rock band in one of the neighboring night clubs reverberates until 4 am in the morning. It starts at about 10 pm. Take your ear plugs with you if you want a peaceful nights rest. The hotel also debited my credit card for $104 on top of the tariff and the municipal tax. When queried they said it was the Expedia commission. Never been charged before when i booked through expedia.

Small, clean, friendly, central

Very friendly, helpful staff. Clean.
A tiny entrance door and lobby, but has an elevator and 24-hour reception.; wifi works ok. Breakfast (juice, coffee, rolls, croissamts) included, 8-10 am. Great location, a small stteet with pleasant cafes, steps from the emblematic Torre dos Clerigos, and a short (uphill) walk from the main train station with its spectacular tile art walls

VERY NOISY - Dance Club on Street Level

VERY NOISY - 1-6am (every night) you will hear music and ‘Feel’ Thumping on the walls - we were on the 3rd Flr - there is a dance club on the street level that is close during the day (very deceiving) - too bad because it is a good hotel ...

Noisey and badly laid out

The bathroom had a toilet set in the corner with a basin in front of it, it was impossible to access. The noise from the street was constant till 5am then the street cleaning began also unbearably loud. Breakfast was great and the ladies who served it very nice.

Great Location, Good Facilities, TERRIBLE SERVICE

Great location and not a bad looking place. I would find something else for next time due to the service. The door guy asked that I leave the key with him which I think is crazy and he gave me a super hard time when I had a quick visitor (just visitor, not a sleepover) because my room was registered for one guest. I even offered 50 euros in tip (more than I paid for the entire stay) and he did not want to work with me. Also they played some kind of game when I arrived telling me there were no rooms (sold out); when I told them that hotels.com showed 2 rooms available they told me I was wrong. So I booked the room thru hotels.com in front of the receptionist and got my room for that night. I don't know why they played games with me. I am a 35 year old professional traveling by myself; there was no need for this.

Nice staff, in the city center But bad street

Staff are so nice and helpful.

Site is in the city center, perfect for tourists and work travellers.

Street is full of disturbing night clubs. Nights are always noisy.

Room is clean but small, small bed.

Perfect Hostel for Nightlife

Let's be clear! This is not a hotel in the sense that you might be thinking. This is more of a fancier hostel. I love hostels and so I really enjoyed my stay here. If you do not like hostels, you might have a rougher time. The rooms are very small (but I loved that) and the shower/toilet is communal. I just needed a clean, comfy bed and a clean place to shower, and that's what I got. This guesthouse is not just near the nightlife, it is in the nightlife. You hear EVERYTHING once 2300 hits. It didn't bother me, but people who need absolute silence to sleep will hate it. It was also in the perfect area for shopping, food, and transportation (it's right up the street from the metro).

The only thing I did not like was the breakfast. It was just cold rolls with orange juice and coffee. I would have loved warmed bread with a good selection of jams. It was so bad that we only had it once during our weeklong stay.

Everything else (especially the staff) was amazing. I would recommend this hostel/guesthouse to anyone going to Porto!

End of our trip

We had a warm welcome. The room was small and the air conditioning was noisy. The bathroom was a bit small and I doubt whether people of a certain size would get into the shower cabinet. Having said that we were able to leave our rucsacks in a safe place while we looked around Porto for most of the day which was very useful.

Perfect location! Especially if you like to party!

Clean, very basic room with only what you need, no luxury. However, the complementary breakfast in the morning is excellent, the location couldn't be better and the staff were all so delightful. I would highly recommend to friends. Super economical and a great experience!

ok for 1 night

We only stayed one night and thank god it wasn't a week! Everyone at the hotel was helpful and nice, but at night, the street gets really loud because of bars outside and the music was really intense until about 3 am. The beds were not confortable at all and the bathrooms are shared. It's very well located so if you like to party at night and are not staying for long, you'll enjoy. We are just not party people and the location wasn't quiet enough for our needs.

Great place in the heart of Porto

Clean, renovated hotel with lift, cleaned daily, simple but good breakfast, the hotel is within minutes of centre, train station, shops. A bit noisy at night as located on a busy street but it didn't bother us at all. All toiletries included, the bed is little hard to sleep on. Staff are amazing, very helpful and efficient. WiFi, towels changed daily if needed.

Adequate value for money.

Rooms are rather small, what is no problem, because we used them really for sleeping only - but the picture shown during rezervation was much bigger.
I would use this hotel probably again.
