2-Star hotele w: Porto District, Portugal

One of the best Hostel ever been to so far . Room is clean, bed is comfortable and blanket is provided. Curtain is provided for every bed. Shower room is well equipped with wall hanger is installed away from shower head. Vanity cabinet has proper number shelves for toiletry storage. Common area is cozy and comfortable with plenty of wall sockets near the seats . Staffs at reception were friendly and cheerful! The breakfast buffet was pretty good as well. It is very comfortable hostel and location is perfect as it is close to the river front main tourist spot. I would choose this place to stay again if I ever return again.

The property is right in the city center; in a convenient location that allows you to easily get around on foot. Everything is generally clean, both the lobby and the room. The photo in the advert is a bit misleading; the room I was assigned was smaller than the one in the photo, and instead of a small balcony, there was only a window, but it was still very bright. During my stay, the elevator was out of order, which was a major inconvenience: the lobby is on the third floor and the rooms are on the top (fifth), so this is a factor to take into consideration.

Location was good: close to Casa da Musica and the main Boa Vista roundabout. The apartment was clean and big enough for a couple nights of stay. The only issue we experienced was the door code system. When we arrived at the property on the first day, the main entrance door was open, exposing the building to theft. On the second day, we couldn’t open the main entrance door using the code provided. (The code worked on the first day.) We messaged the operator using their platform and received no reply. We called the operator but nobody answered the phone. Since it was raining, we walked to Casa da Musica to shelter ourselves from the rain. Then the operator called back and asked us to send a video of what happened of the door code. Since we left the building, we couldn’t take the video. Then they agreed to look into it. They sent us a reply saying that we refused to comply by sending a video. They subsequently asked us to ignore the message and said it was their internal communication and was sent to us by mistake, but it showed that they didn’t understand why we didn’t want to walk back to the building in the rain to take the video they requesed. After an hour of us raising the issue with them, they finally sent someone to open the main entrance for us. The person said the entrance code issue was not new! It was a very bad experience and we wasted an hour. We would seriously reconsider staying in a place managed by this operator.

We really liked the double room. It was very spacious, bright, and beautifully furnished. The rest of the hostel was also bright, quiet, and cozy. Special thanks to the reception staff who gave us a very friendly and warm welcome late at night. The only downside was that the shower could use a check-up; the water didn't drain well and was only lukewarm.

I stayed at Pensao França Hostel and overall had a good experience. The hostel is clean, although the room size is quite small, which is typical for backpackers. They provide both small and large towels, as well as body soap and hand soap. There was a slight urine smell when I first arrived, but it disappeared after the bathroom was used. The bathroom has a shower with both hot and cold water available. The room is also equipped with a fan. A microwave and an electric kettle are available for shared use on the second floor. The hostel has three floors and no elevator. The owner lives on the second floor and is very kind and friendly to talk to. Since the hostel is located near restaurants and bars, there can be some noise from outside. However, once the windows are closed and especially when you are tired, it is not too disturbing. The location is very convenient, as it is within walking distance of Porto city center.

It’s far from everything. No groceries stores or any nearby restaurants. There is a mall but you have to take the bus to get there. Location is not really ideal. Be prepared to take Uber to get to the attractions and it’s not really economical if you’re on a budget. Room is fine for a single occupant. Toilet, sink and bath are all separted which I liked (Japanese style). Overall, the hotel is clean. Breakfast area is too small. On the first day, only one coffee machine was working. Very few selections and same all throughout my stay. You better have your breakfast early otherwise it gets really crowded and no available seats. This is the cheapest I could find in Porto that’s within the budget but considering I had to take Uber to get to the center, better spend more that’s within the city.

Small hostel located near two metro stations (one linked to porto's train station and the other to airport). Many cheap and good food near the hostel. Small but clean shower and toilet. And you have personal locker with key as well. Cons is that the hostel has no AC and beds do not have curtains for privacy.

In the heart of Porto. Based here, you will be at walking distance from every worthy sight and attraction of Porto. It is only a 7 min walk to/from the Porto Sao Bento station, BUT take note that google maps will direct you through a route with steep slopes and stairs - not feasible if you have wheel luggages! But there are alternative feasible paths once you are more familiar with the roads. The room is great and I rested well. Though, it must be mentioned that there is no electeic kettle or hot water of any sorts. Every level has a water fountain / wAter cooler - but it serves cold and ambient water only. I needed hot water once and the reception guy was kind enough to make a kettle for me and filled my thermal bottle with it. I would stay again if I ever pass by Porto again.

I stayed in a twin room. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which was great. They provide a hairdryer and towels. You can also watch Netflix and Amazon Prime. The shower pressure was good, and the heating worked well. There wasn't a kettle in the room, but I used the shared kitchen. The location is excellent, and I'd love to stay again. The free breakfast included bread, ham, cheese, juice, and a coffee machine. The muffins were also delicious.

Convenient location and super friendly service. Close to the MRT station and a large shopping center. I can recommend the hotel if you're looking for something good and affordable. We had 4 rooms and all of us where pleased! One little thing, you might here the airplanes in the morning if you are sensitive to noise.
