super price:value in the center of Porto

Pros: the pension is top central, in front of the university, 100 m from lello bookstore, 200 m from igresia clérigos, and lots if restaurants and cafes nearby. Absolutely top. 24/7 reliable checkin, 2 ladies. Super clean, 4 towels for 2 days, small tv, private toilette. Good light ro read, all in all basic but for the price unbeatable.Could leave my bag until departure to airport. Definitely recommend the single room with private TC.

Cons: A recommendation: not many sockets, bring a multiplier. Mattress bit too hard but for the price ok

Great value for a short-term stay in central Porto

Pros: The property is located opposite of the University building in the old city center, which is close to everything - so it is great for those who want to reach most things by foot. Rooms are small but cozy, and there is a sink in the room, with toilet and bathroom shared on the hallway.

Cons: Central location comes with the price, and in this case, that was the level of noise during the evening, considering the proximity of tourist areas and bars. Even though we were not directly above any busy venue, open windows which were required due to heath are not a good idea for someone with a very light sleep. Despite staff being very lovely (and likely living on site), their presence on the reception and requirement to always leave a key when leaving the venue was feeling a little bit privacy-intrusive, but we overall had a good experience.
