Lo único bueno es la ubicación
Pros:

Ubicacion

Cons:

No tiene ascensor y nos tocó un segundo piso alto. El baño no cuenta con las comodidades minimas y el termotanque está dentro del mismo, lo cual es peligroso. No tenían ni un ventilador para ofrecernos y hacia mucho calor.

séjour très agréable
Pros:

Hôtel familial très appréciable. Nous avons beaucoup aimé la gentillesse du personnel qui vous fournit de nombreux renseignements pratiques pour rendre votre séjour agréable. On nous a même réservé un superbe spectacle fado dans un monastère avec des orgues exceptionnelles. Petit déjeuner copieux avec des brioches toutes fraîches. Situation idéale pour découvrir Porto à pied.

Cons:

Toilettes inexistantes une fois la clé de chambre rendue.

Nice location, friendly staff, charm, clean, budget friendly.
Pros:

The staff was very friendly and kind. The room was clean but needed some repair such as floor boards that were broken and the toilet was running. The location was good and there was an old time charm about the place. The beds were comfortable but the fan didn’t work very well so the room was a little hot. There was a little balcony that was cute with a nice view.

Cons:

Lack of a good fan and the few floor boards that were broken. Also had to leave key at the front desk when out on the town.

Pros:

Excelente ubicación y la atención de los dueños.

Cons:

No tiene ascensor. Al ser instalaciones antiguas el baño estaba en una disposición rara, nada que complique demasiado.
