We were a group of friends and stayed here for 3 nights. We wanted to pay by credit card, which should have been possible according to booking. The furniture in the rooms was ok, just line in the pictures. We asked to change the room 2 times, they said it was not possible. Unfortunately finding new accommodation in Porto in august at a reasonable price was not possible, so we staid there. Another room had mould in the bathroom, and the smell spread through the whole room. We kept the window open all day but it did not eliminate the smell.
There are prostitutes at night in the corners of the street the hotel is on. I am sure they use the hotel too, as the guy in reception called one of the ladies in the corner to translate for us he did not speak a word in English. Also there was a toilet paper roll in the bed stand of the ground floor room The ladies in the street did not approach us, as we were a group with girls and boys I think this was the worst hotel experience I had, i wouldn't recommend anyone to go there.
OK - lets be frank - this is a used as a brothel by the locals. We chose it late at night in the pouring rain. I ran in to ask price - 30E for three per night - which seemed cheap.
Room looked liveable. As I returned to tell my [adult] sons we were staying they said "Dad - this is a brothel". I said no - they were being silly - it had a normal 3 bed room and internet - what brothel would have that?
Well, turns out they were right. As we went back upstairs we were followed by four ladies in fishnets First, despite the many signs they take cards, they demanded cash up front for two nights [it was pouring rain outside There is a bell on door that rings every time someone walks in, and echoes through hotel. Went every 5 minutes until? Next morning, we seemed only people in hotel. Worse, the only exit is front door, which was locked at 9.
