Good location and only a short walk to the beach with plenty of restaurants nearby. The bakery downstairs is convenient for coffee/breakfast. Room was very compact but enough space to store my luggage and comfortable for a short stay.

I stayed in a property 1/2 block away from the main property. It was fantastic! Two queen beds, one in a private bedroom. Super clean, comfortable beds and pillows, nice sheets, great shower, huge kitchen which I didn’t need but it was nice, all up-to-date. This would be a great place for a family of four including a room that would let kids run around. Both TVs were really great with lots and lots of channels. It has some interesting Decor that was fun like a cabin. But what was the best part? The BUFFET in the main building! It was amazing. Holy Cow! The coffee machine had 8 types of freshly made coffee. I had the Americano. I wish I had stayed here the whole time I was in Porto. I will next time. Highly recommend for everybody. Met a lot of nice people, some were walking the Camino, great conversations. It was lovely. A+++
BEST BUFFET EVER!

Room was clean although a very small and basic location was ideal plenty of restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance, Metro station right outside. Perfect for a 3/4 night stay.

Very cute property and within walking distance to shopping and restaurants. There is a restaurant right down stairs and it can get a little loud with the diners outside so if you want it quiet this might not be the spot for you, they also should provide the name of the receptionist area when they message you with the check in instructions cause we had some trouble finding the place to check in when the uber dropped us off.

Bare Bones, Barely

Fantastic location to stay in Matosinhos, but tiny rooms like a cell. The room had a clean, comfortable bed and a good tv, but no window, nobedside tables or lamps. The only lighting came from a skylight, one bright led in the entryway, and the bathroom. Inexpensive compared to a hotel, but nothing close to hotel service.

The staff (Bruno) was really really nice and helpful. Greatly appreciated his help. Thanks ! Room was very clean and recently renovated… but The room and bathroom were very small. And the window is facing a wall :(. Quite unpleasant. Isolation is bad, and so you can hear TV or any noise/loud voices of other rooms.

Budget hotel, close to beach and restaurants

I did not know that you had to check in at another address 100 meters away. Not a big deal, but with many bags, it was cumbersome, especially needing to go across tram lines. Would be nice to have water bottles replenished each day.

A compact but very clean room, great location.

Room was clean, staff were friendly, great location in terms of travel (but can be noisy, not the fault of the hotel at all!) Bathroom was compact but fully functional. Check in out of hours is across the road from São Fran but absolutely no issues with checking in. TV, Aircon, cleaned daily. Direct Metro into Porto (Trindade) and short walk from the beach.

Small but clean.

Lovely and clean,and a great location,but the stairs are a pain,with luggage (2nd floor) and the rooms are just too small. Otherwise a pleasant stay.
