Right by the train station and next to the sightseeing monuments in Porto. The room was also clean and had a nice balcony and the front desk was very receptive to questions via WhatsApp. Only downside is that the bed is not an actual bed it’s a pullout and we were unfortunately given a very late check in when promised a window. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### simon Sep 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication Best view! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/FA139E5C093CE93BB48532E6AD4CE0158C1425131695312710311.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### simon Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Aleksandra Aug 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Close to train station ##### Aleksandra Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer Jun 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Great stay in Porto! We loved our stay in Porto old city. The apartment was very comfortable and quiet. An oasis from the busy streets especially as we were visiting during the festival of St John. Convenient location to all the sights. Communication was easy and we loved the Portuguese Tarts left for us on arrival. ##### Jennifer Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ushio Nov 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication It was well cared and well designed hotel. What is best on this hotel was the management of this company. They communicated well and respond quick and very attentive. ##### ushio Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark Jan 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Faultless Excellent location, up a steep but short little hill which put you very close to the "top" bridge, and a very short walk to Sao Bento station. Apartments was small and quirky but functional and a fair price with generally great internet connectivity and decent kitchen and bathroom. Great comms and appreciated the late checkout on New Years Day, thank you, so good to deal with real people. Recommended. ##### Mark Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jason May 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Decent, up a bit of a steep hill but located really well. Was a shame we couldn’t sit out on the balcony but overall the accommodation was decent and secure. ##### Jason Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Jun 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Loved it! Right in the heart of old Porto. Walking distance from everything, service and communication were excellent. Would go back. ##### David ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Apr 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, communication Disliked: Room comfort #### Convenient location and beautiful view of old town Location is very good and the instruction for entering the building and room was clear. We loved the welcoming sweets!! Only disappointment was the neighbour area with the people who seem to be junkies and hanging around all the time in front of the apartment although they never bothered us. Overall we had amazing time! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julio May 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication owners did their best at making our stay good… great communication before and during our stay. Location is excellent but there are some issues w homeless people around. They never bother us, however. The apartment was in great shape. ##### Julio Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Tyler Jun 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The property was centrally located and clean. Outside the property there were drug users shooting up at all times of the day and night, it was scary and less than optimal. ##### Tyler Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dana Sep 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Very nice apartments (we had 2 apartments for our group of 5). Good communication with the owners. Up a little bit of a hill from the train station - very close to the cathedral and bridge across the river as well as shopping and dining areas ##### Dana Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maritza Aug 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication This apartment was modern, clean and comfortable in an area where is accessible and walking distance to all the restaurants and attractions in Porto. I’m definitely coming back to this unique apartment. Love it. ##### Maritza Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### madaline Mar 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, communication Unfortunately there was a group of homeless people outside the front door although they never disturbed us it made my partner uneasy, also there was a limited amount of hot water other than that the host was very accommodating the place was in good condition, the apartment area was just what we needed for our stay and within walking distance to at just about everything. ##### madaline Stayed 9 nights in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Vianca Jun 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Stay was great, security for the building is great, and most importantly, LOCATION is everything. The road to this property is sometimes hard to find for Ubers. Your first impression is misleading as you do see the homeless and drug addicts but they do not bother you- even at night. This place is great and I would come back to stay here. ##### Vianca Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Alberto Jul 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication There was an square near the property with homeless and junkies all day. The location was awsome but you could fell intimidated with the square's junkies. ##### Alberto Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels.d178314.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Saskatoon](https://www.expedia.ca/Saskatoon-Hotels.d4117.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Porto Palácio Hotel by The Editory](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Porto-Palacio-Hotel-By-The-Editory.h13417.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Porto by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Porto.h432848.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Hotel & Suites London Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Sandman-Hotel-Suites-London-Downtown.h5943.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Porto Gaia by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Porto-Gaia.h1091161.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Porto Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Sheraton-Porto-Hotel-Spa.h980783.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Salt Lake City](https://www.expedia.ca/Salt-Lake-City-Hotels.d178302.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Athens](https://www.expedia.ca/Eleftherios-Venizelos-Airport-Hotels.0-aATH-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [5 Star Hotels in Old Quebec](https://www.expedia.ca/5Star-Old-Quebec-Quebec-City-Hotels.s50-n6058216-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [HF Tuela Porto](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-HF-Tuela-Porto.h900089.Hotel-Information) > > [HF Fénix Porto](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-HF-Fenix-Porto.h900087.Hotel-Information) > > [Neya Porto Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Neya-Porto-Hotel.h47076995.Hotel-Information) > > [Forte de Gaia, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-The-Lodge-Wine-Business-Hotel.h57009557.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Vancouver.h3203.Hotel-Information) > > [The Yeatman Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-The-Yeatman-Hotel.h3754232.Hotel-Information) > > [Torel Avantgarde](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Torel-AvantGarde.h19121961.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Washington (DCA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/dca/toronto-to-washington) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Liberia (LIR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/lir/toronto-to-liberia) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Winnipeg (YWG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/ywg/calgary-to-winnipeg) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Berlin (BER)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/ber/montreal-to-berlin) ### Cars ### Packages > [Vancouver Island Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Island.d6058387.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [all inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations) > > [Runaway Bay Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Runaway-Bay.d9336.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General
