Categories

Cleanliness
9.3
Multiple reviews explicitly note the rooms are clean and hygienic ('small but clean', 'higiene', 'Tudo ótimo'), supporting a strong cleanliness rating.
Service
9.4
Staff are repeatedly described as friendly and helpful, with good communication and flexibility (e.g., facilitating late check-in), justifying a high service score.
Location
9.8
Location is consistently praised across reviews as central and ideal for exploring the city ('en pleno centro histórico', 'extremamente central', 'perfect location'), so this receives the highest score.
Room Quality
8.3
Beds are frequently described as large and comfortable and rooms spacious, but there are repeated complaints about poor soundproofing and some missing conveniences (no remote for AC in one review), so quality is good but not top-tier.
Amenities
7.7
Amenities show mixed feedback: free nearby parking is noted positively, but issues include no elevator, missing AC remote, no baby high chair at breakfast and limited labeling/allergen info, which lowers this score.
Value for Money
9.2
Guests explicitly call out good value ('Great value for money') and overall positive experiences relative to price, supporting a strong value rating.
Food and Beverage
7.3
Breakfast is the most commonly cited negative: described as 'ok' or limited in variety, missing items on some days, and lacking labeling, though some guests enjoyed the breakfast; overall this category is below average.
Overall Experience
9.4
Overall sentiment is positive: many guests report a pleasant stay, praise location, comfort and staff, and indicate they would return, despite some recurring minor issues.

Pros:

A good one-night stay; we started our Camino de Santiago cycling route in Porto. The breakfast was buffet-style and very good, with fresh fruit, breads, and juices. Thank you very much.

Lovely, clean, and with good breakfast
Pros:

Super clean, great location, comfy bed, lovely breakfast

Cons:

It would have been nice to have a kettle to make a hot drink - there's no bar in the hotel, the cafe next door is closed at night - and a little fridge for water (many people are doing the Camino and bring drinks with them sandwiches for the morning etc). Nobody at reception after 6pm or during lunch time. Time your check ins and make sure you let them know if you want to leave your bags

Satisfatória
Pros:

Satisfatória a localização e o atendimento

Cons:

O comando da televisão não funcionava e só 2 dias depois o substituiram
O cortinado de uma das janelas juntamente com o sustento no teto cairam-me em cima ao abri-lo e deixei de ter durante blackout durante os ultimos 5 dias.
