Appartamento comodo, posizione centrale, facilità di trovare parcheggio nelle vicinanze ma zona molto trafficata.
Al nostro arrivo siamo stati informati che la lavatrice era guasta e quindi non utilizzabile.

Para no volver jamás!!
Horrible!!!!!!!!! El dueño del establecimiento un impresentable. Nos trató fatal y nos tuvo más de 5 horas en la calle sin dejarnos entrar por un problena totalmente ajeno a nosotros. En la habitación cuidado: CHINCHES!! Varios niños amanecieron llenos de picaduras. La luz del baño no iba, la ducha se salía el agua, camas y sobre todo la almohada incomodisimas. No repetiríamos ni locos.

가족여행
돔루이 1세다리 도보로 10분이면 되는 접근성이 좋고, 트램 종점이 걸어서 대략10분거리에 위치
단점은 조금만 전기를 써도 자동으로 전기가 나가서 좀짜증, 방안에 히터자체가없어서 아이들이 어리다면 추천하기가 좀 그렇다(춥다
직원들 서비스는 최고이며 자동차주차는 문앞에 무료로 주차할수가있다

Excelente sítio!
Excelente, os que nos receberam foram óptimos, simples, directos e muito simpáticos!
Portanto o que deixou a desejar um bocado foram os lençóis, um bocado mal lavados.

Awesome stay
The place is nice, close to the city center (there is a bus line taking you there directly but it's also posible to walk there and see the city). The staff is nice, girl who worked there the first day was really cheerfull and helpful, ready to give you tips to see in a city. Rooms are clean and nice, just like in the pictures. I highly recommend the hostel.

Traumhafte Lage am Flussufer
Das Apartment war klein, aber sehr sauber und mit allem notwendigen Komfort ausgestattet.
Die Altstadt von Porto ist in ca. 10 min zu Fuß erreicht, die Anbindung an den ÖPNV ist durch die Buslinie 500 gewährleistet. Durch die Lage direkt am Fluss kommen insbesondere Läufer auf ihre Kosten: In 5 km Entfernung wartet die Douro-Mündung in den Atlantik und der Leuchtturm von Porto auf.

Grazioso appartamento vicino al fiume e al centro
Abbiamo soggiornato 2 notti in questo ostello, in un monolocale con vista fiume, semplice ma grazioso. Personale molto cordiale e disponibile, pronto a dare consigli sulla città. Posizione eccellente, comodo per la possibilità di usufruire della cucina dell'appartamento, dotato di tutto il necessario. Solo la pulizia potrebbe un po' migliorare, ma comunque sufficiente.

Me senti em casa.
Gostei muito da forma que fui recebido é tratado no hostel. Uma moça chamada Talita e um rapaz que se chama Rui, me receberam com muito carinho e atenção. Eles fizeram de tudo para que eu estivesse bem e foram muito gentis e agradáveis. Eu realmente me senti em casa!

Kiwi's in Porto
Arrived in car and found a road side car park easy enough. Staff very helpful with check in. Location is excellent, right by river, great views from our riverside apartment. Exterior is typical Porto grungy - very cool. Inside is modern and spacious.

Appart hôtel porto
Hôtel un peu excentré. Pas de places de parking contrairement à ce qui est mentionné sur le site. L appart se situe devant une rue bruyante sans climatisation, donc soit il y a du bruit soit il fait chaud. Sinon l appart est assez grand pour 3 personnes. Bon séjour à porto!

Simple but nicely run hostel and apartments
Hostel staff were very helpful and friendly. Booked an airport transfer which was good value and saved the hassle of public transport. Free wi-fi. Apartment included a fully functioning kitchenette with fridge, hub and oven. It was also cosy and bright. They also included some nice welcoming touches - bottled water in the fridge and a bottle of wine.

Ruime kamer, op loopafstand van het oude centrum.
Op zich prettige locatie. Appartement word erg warm door de zon (eind oktober), geen airco, wel ventilator aanwezig. Erg veel vervallen gebouwen in de buurt, appartement is gerenoveerd, maar lijkt vochtig.
Het bed is echt doorgelegen, gelukkig bleven we maar twee dagen, langer had ik het niet uitgehouden.
