From the moment we arrived, the hospitality at Cale Guest House was exceptional. Check-in was warm and welcoming, complete with a thoughtful offer of coffee and breakfast. Communication before arrival was prompt and helpful, setting the tone for a smooth stay. We were given a personal tour of the amenities, including a stunning terrace that quickly became one of our favorite spots to unwind. Every detail reflected genuine care and attentiveness. Highly recommend for anyone seeking comfort, charm, and outstanding service in Porto.

Très bien

Chambre très confortable et propre. Notre chambre était au quatrième étage. Dommage qu’il n’y avait pas d’ascenseur. Petit déjeuner pris tôt en raison d’un train à prendre : nous aurions apprécié de pouvoir profiter des croissants qui n’avaient pas été disposés. Sinon séjour agréable. Merci.

We stayed 1 night of 3 nights here and wish we had done it all at Cale. While it doesn’t have huge extra amenities it is clean , rooms big, view incredible. Feels like home. Could not be more central. Everything is within a few minutes walk. The staff (thanks Chris and others) knock themselves out to make you feel at home. Breakfast is great and the welcome discussion and orientation at arrival over complimentary port is fantastic . When we come back we will stay here again.

Einen tolle, super gelegene Unterkunft mit sehr netten und bemühtem Personal und einem guten Frühstück. Leider war bei uns bereits bei unserem Einzug der Toilettendeckel samt Brille völlig kaputt und man hatte diesen in der Hand bzw. er ist von der Toilette gerutscht - also wirklich sehr gefährlich und mit hoher Unfallgefahr. Wir sind beide 64 Jahre alt und für solche Spielchen nicht mehr zu haben! Trotz sofortiger Mitteilung beim Hotelpersonal waren diese innerhalb unserer 4 Tage, die wir hier verbracht haben nicht in der Lage für einen Austausch der Toilettenbrille oder deren Reparatur zu sorgen. Angeblich würde der Chef sich darum kümmern. Auf unsere Anfrage wie es, aufgrund des großen Mangels mit einem Rabatt ist haben wir bis heute keine Reaktion erhalten. Leider hat dieser Umstand das restliche Erscheinungsbild sehr gestört.

This small guesthouse is a gem! Our twin double room had a large sitting area and was probably more than 400 sq ft. The communication before arrival was excellent. The breakfast was very good and they allowed us to check our luggage while we explored the city. I would stay there again.

Located in an excellent, central area. As similar reviews noted, it was fairly noisy when someone was walking past the bedroom door due to the wooden floorboards. Breakfast was a nice selection of pastries/ meats/ cheeses and hot drinks. Would stay again and recommend to family and friends

Posizione ottima per visitare Ribeira. Struttura accogliente, personale gentile e disponibile. Stanza spaziosa, comoda e pulita. Colazione essenziale ma completa. Manca l’ascensore, ma dovendo muoversi nei saliscendi del centro storico non può essere un problema. Super consigliata.

I had a wonderful stay at Cale Guest House. The location is perfect—so accessible to many of Porto's top sightseeing spots, making it easy to explore the city. The view from my room was exceptional, and the rooftop area added an extra special touch for enjoying the night scenery. The house itself is old but beautiful, filled with character, and the staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful. A couple of small downsides were that there was no elevator, which might be challenging for those with heavy luggage, and no refrigerator in the room. However, these were minor inconveniences, and overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. I'd highly recommend Cale Guest House to anyone looking to experience Porto’s charm!
