Hotel 2-Star di Porto District, Portugal

This hostel completely exceeded my expectations. The location is superb, and I highly recommend taking the #403 bus to the main bus station – it's quick, close, and offers beautiful riverside views along the way. The breakfast was also excellent; I strongly suggest booking a room that includes it. Just the egg tarts alone made me so happy. If I have the chance to visit again, this will be my top choice.

Location was good: close to Casa da Musica and the main Boa Vista roundabout. The apartment was clean and big enough for a couple nights of stay. The only issue we experienced was the door code system. When we arrived at the property on the first day, the main entrance door was open, exposing the building to theft. On the second day, we couldn’t open the main entrance door using the code provided. (The code worked on the first day.) We messaged the operator using their platform and received no reply. We called the operator but nobody answered the phone. Since it was raining, we walked to Casa da Musica to shelter ourselves from the rain. Then the operator called back and asked us to send a video of what happened of the door code. Since we left the building, we couldn’t take the video. Then they agreed to look into it. They sent us a reply saying that we refused to comply by sending a video. They subsequently asked us to ignore the message and said it was their internal communication and was sent to us by mistake, but it showed that they didn’t understand why we didn’t want to walk back to the building in the rain to take the video they requesed. After an hour of us raising the issue with them, they finally sent someone to open the main entrance for us. The person said the entrance code issue was not new! It was a very bad experience and we wasted an hour. We would seriously reconsider staying in a place managed by this operator.

I stayed at Pensao França Hostel and overall had a good experience. The hostel is clean, although the room size is quite small, which is typical for backpackers. They provide both small and large towels, as well as body soap and hand soap. There was a slight urine smell when I first arrived, but it disappeared after the bathroom was used. The bathroom has a shower with both hot and cold water available. The room is also equipped with a fan. A microwave and an electric kettle are available for shared use on the second floor. The hostel has three floors and no elevator. The owner lives on the second floor and is very kind and friendly to talk to. Since the hostel is located near restaurants and bars, there can be some noise from outside. However, once the windows are closed and especially when you are tired, it is not too disturbing. The location is very convenient, as it is within walking distance of Porto city center.

It’s far from everything. No groceries stores or any nearby restaurants. There is a mall but you have to take the bus to get there. Location is not really ideal. Be prepared to take Uber to get to the attractions and it’s not really economical if you’re on a budget. Room is fine for a single occupant. Toilet, sink and bath are all separted which I liked (Japanese style). Overall, the hotel is clean. Breakfast area is too small. On the first day, only one coffee machine was working. Very few selections and same all throughout my stay. You better have your breakfast early otherwise it gets really crowded and no available seats. This is the cheapest I could find in Porto that’s within the budget but considering I had to take Uber to get to the center, better spend more that’s within the city.

This place is so relaxing to stay in! It’s a super nice little cafe with the rooms in the back through locking doors for easy access and security. The service is mostly seen outside your room as there isn’t much to be serviced inside, either way they were very friendly and helpful with menus in different languages and all that. The facilities for our room were all you needed, our “bunks” being cubby’s in the wall with lots of space and a locking compartment below for bags or valuables. The bathroom is tight compared to what I was used to in Canada, but it has your toilet, sink, and shower. What more do you need? Lastly the food was very very good, this was our first stay on our trip from Canada so maybe it’s normal here but it is so fresh and simply tasted awesome! Highly recommend!

Our experience at Moov Hotel Porto was simply excellent. From the moment we checked in to check out, everything was fast, professional, and very welcoming. The hotel stands out for its privileged location in the heart of Porto, making it easy to visit the city's main tourist attractions on foot. The room was very modern, comfortable, very clean, and well soundproofed, providing a quiet and relaxing stay. The staff was always friendly, helpful, and available to assist with anything we needed. The hotel's ambiance combines history and modernity, making the experience even more special. Without a doubt, it offers excellent value for money and is a place I recommend to anyone looking for comfort, practicality, and a great location to discover the city of Porto. I will definitely be back on my next visit! 👌👌😉

I stayed in a twin room. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which was great. They provide a hairdryer and towels. You can also watch Netflix and Amazon Prime. The shower pressure was good, and the heating worked well. There wasn't a kettle in the room, but I used the shared kitchen. The location is excellent, and I'd love to stay again. The free breakfast included bread, ham, cheese, juice, and a coffee machine. The muffins were also delicious.

The property is right in the city center; in a convenient location that allows you to easily get around on foot. Everything is generally clean, both the lobby and the room. The photo in the advert is a bit misleading; the room I was assigned was smaller than the one in the photo, and instead of a small balcony, there was only a window, but it was still very bright. During my stay, the elevator was out of order, which was a major inconvenience: the lobby is on the third floor and the rooms are on the top (fifth), so this is a factor to take into consideration.

This is a formally registered hotel with a certain history. The location is good, not far from the subway station. The front desk is staffed 24 hours a day. The rooms are fairly large. There is an elevator. The light switch design is somewhat inconvenient. There is a TV in the room, but it is very small. Some rooms are right next to a main road; there is noise when the windows are closed, and even more so when they are open. The bathroom is also quite large. The front desk service is very good. The hotel breakfast is very affordable. Overall, it offers good value for money.

Excellent! It's not luxurious, but very comfortable for an overnight stay during a trip. The cleanliness is excellent, and it's very welcoming. The only downside is that if your room faces the road, you'll notice vehicle noise until a certain hour, which is normal given it's a busy area due to Norte Shopping. I recommend it.
