“Friendly, attentive staff who gave great restaurant and attraction tips, making my Porto visit more fun. Location is fantastic—short walk to Aliados Metro and the waterfront. Room was super clean and cozy with ample storage and lockers. Loved the rooftop bar with live music and the free breakfast. The kitchen had everything for cooking. Minor issues like few outlets in dorms and cash-only payments didn't spoil it.”
