Matosinhos Vacation Rentals

"It's an interesting take on minimalist - and very very economical - way to stay! This was hands down the most economical place I could find at the time of my travel and I'm glad I took advantage of it. The bare wall bathroom and "no window, just a box" theme certainly isn't for everyone but if you are looking for an efficient, and quite honestly sufficient, place only a few minutes walk from Bolhao market/via Catarina shopping area and/or 5min from Sao Bento station, this place is a find. It worked out great for me bc I had two day trips that started from Sao Bento and ended in Praca Batalha area which is also close. Facilitates are really sufficient. Shower was good. I do recommend having flipflops ( because the shower floor is more concrete than tile) which people don't usually need for an ensuite bathroom. Self operating lockers for storage after the check out. Staff very pleasant, they monitor the front desk 24hrs. No communal fridge but they were happy to hold my few cold items in the fridge in the back overnight, which was very much appreciated. I didn't get to utilize the communal areas in the 5th floor but the concept of bring your own movie to hook up to a big screen/stereo is brilliant. I did think that the area right outside of the place was a little run down, not dangerous in any way, just in "some neighboring lots are empty so it looks sketchy at night", kind of way. Again , the theme is not for everyone, but for the location and price I would return to stay."

"The location was fantastic. The staff was helpful. We loved Porto. "

"Beautiful property with history- Perfect location - Friendly staffs. "

"Super friendly staff a credit to the hotel. Rooms were great and the hotel benefits from a spa with gym and treatment rooms. Food in the first floor restaurant was outstanding and the bar has a happy hour downstairs from 3pm. Hotel is in proximity to a host of great restaurants and bars but dont be suprised if they dont open before 7pm. great base for Porto sightseeing. Probably a good idea not to bring a vehicle as parking is limited and expensive around the hotel."

"I would definitely stay again and really enjoyed the relaxed comfort and location. I am in my 80's am had no difficulty walking all over Porto, enjoying lunch at the Majestic Cafe, taking a boat ride on the Douro. Once oriented, I had no trouble navigating everywhere that I wanted to visit. The staff was the best I have ever encountered. They even gave me cookies for my journey back to Lisbon and Mario came out to our car and drove with us to park the car. "

"Hotel staff was on point..freindly.helpfull.attentive.allways greeted you with a smile...great experience at the hotel...will definitely stay there again!"
