Great value Porto hotel

Traditional two star hotel within walking distance of central Porto. We ere able to get a space in the underground carpark which was an added plus. Staff were excellent and very friendly. rooms a bit dated, but it sort of adds to the charm. Simple breakfast offered, but exceptional value

Average 2 star hotel in quiet location with very few restaurants, shops or bars nearby. It was a good 30 minute walk to the city centre and a 10 minute walk to the nearest metro station. Basic breakfast and hotel room, with no fridge, kettle or safe.
