We had a lovely six night break at the Boavista. The staff were all lovely and friendly and rhe room was cleaned every day. The continental breakfast was plentiful. There is a metro stop about five minute walk from the hotel and from there, you can get around the city easily.

There is a small supermarket right in the same street and a delicious Taberna, great for dinner. Rooms are small but really clean and private. Great stay.

8/10 Very good

Very nice hotel! Room was very clean, updated, quiet, cozy with just enough storage space. Breakfast was wonderful. Staff was very helpful. Only reason I gave it less than five stars is that the location is somewhat far from town. It’s totally walkable and safe, even at night, but it is a little farther out. Would still highly recommend, just know you’ll be a bit outside the main sites in town (but again, definitely still walkable).

All of thestaff were lovely, from the moment of check in with the reception lady to the housekeepers, great location surrounded by lots of local eateries and parks closeby, walking distance to the waterfront too. Highly recommend a stay here.

The stay at this guest house was immaculate. We loved that it is located in a safe and quiet area. The room was tidy and you would find everything you need. The breakfast options were broad with all being fresh and delicious. The staff at the hotel were pleasant and welcoming, always ready to help. We were able to leave our bags upon check-out, which was important for us as we had a night bus. We would highly recommend this place. Obrigados!

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were all so sweet and lovely! And the breakfast is delicious with lots of variety and well worth the money. Overall a great stay and would stay again. The area is close to the centre but further away from most of the tourists so it’s quieter, and neighbourhood isn’t as well lit as would’ve liked for a female solo travelled at night so would suggest to be more cautious. There’s also plenty of nice restaurants in the area. Would stay again if were in Porto again!

A small friendly guesthouse with great staff. Breakfast was nice and fresh, but no hot dishes. A 15 min walk to central Porto. 5 min walk to Metro-station Carolina Michaelis, 25 min ride from the Airport.
