The staff were all so sweet and lovely! And the breakfast is delicious with lots of variety and well worth the money. Overall a great stay and would stay again. The area is close to the centre but further away from most of the tourists so it’s quieter, and neighbourhood isn’t as well lit as would’ve liked for a female solo travelled at night so would suggest to be more cautious. There’s also plenty of nice restaurants in the area. Would stay again if were in Porto again!

We stayed here for 4 nights in 2 single rooms. The guest house was clean, and location was perfect, either for walking into Porto or using the metro. The staff were lovely and went out of their way to be helpful. Breakfast was excellent. We would highly recommend and would most definitely stay here again if we came back to Porto.

Best stay we had on our 2 week vacation to Spain/Portugal. The receptionist was absolutely lovely, quick messages, and a fantastic guide to help us out sent before we arrived with parking info. Loved the little patio and the welcome beverage. Was close to everything but quiet enough we didn’t hear any big city noise.
