Pensions in Porto

"I stayed at Pensao França Hostel and overall had a good experience. The hostel is clean, although the room size is quite small, which is typical for backpackers. They provide both small and large towels, as well as body soap and hand soap. There was a slight urine smell when I first arrived, but it disappeared after the bathroom was used. The bathroom has a shower with both hot and cold water available. The room is also equipped with a fan. A microwave and an electric kettle are available for shared use on the second floor. The hostel has three floors and no elevator. The owner lives on the second floor and is very kind and friendly to talk to. Since the hostel is located near restaurants and bars, there can be some noise from outside. However, once the windows are closed and especially when you are tired, it is not too disturbing. The location is very convenient, as it is within walking distance of Porto city center."

"It's well located. There are many tourist attractions nearby. The standard room is very small. Just enough room to move around and leave suitcases on the floor. There's no furniture other than the bed and nightstands. You can hear every sound from the neighboring rooms. If you arrive for the first time after 4 pm, there's no one at reception... But don't despair: they leave your key on the counter, but the only problem is that you have to wait outside for a guest to arrive before you can get in. Another important detail is that there is NO elevator, and since it's an old building, the stairs to each floor cost two! There are no rooms on the ground floor."

"The landlord’s grandmother is very good. You need to communicate in Spanish or Portuguese. I don’t understand English. The room environment is very good. The location is particularly good. You can walk to all the attractions. The airport is directly accessible by the hotel subway and then walk for a few minutes. There is no air conditioning but Porto is not. Heat count"
