Being Porto Hostel

Centro / Baixa

"적당히 깨끗하고 인셉션 직원 친절하고 전반적으로 나쁘지 않았습니다. 근데 계단이 좀 빡세요. 다른 호스텔 4층보다 여기 3층이 더 오르기 힘든 것 같은 건 기분탓인지..? 아 그리고 한 층에 방이 두개뿐인데, 방 안이랑 방 밖에 화장실(+샤워)이 있어서 매우 좋았음. 화장실도 깨끗한 편. 드라이기도 있고. 근데 조식은 좀 별로였음. 그 돈으로 나가서 사먹는 게 나을 듯합니다"

Top São Nicolau Hotel Reviews

Pestana Vintage Porto Hotel & World Heritage Site

10/10 Excellent

"Clean , excellent location "

Hotel da Bolsa

10/10 Excellent

"Great location with easy access to bars and restaurants. Friendly staff, good breakfast. The only thing to note is that walls can be thin and noise from the street loud on weekends plus on the 6th floor, the heavy rain got quite loud. But it was warm and comfy and I will definitely look to stay here again in the future. "
