Porto Vintage Guesthouse

We had a wonderful stay at this delightful guesthouse and would highly recommend it to family and friends. It is in a nice, safe part of Porto, in a really interesting street with lots of cafes and restaurants lower down, and away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist centre. The owners couldn’t be more welcoming, and were very attentive and kind, and offered to supply anything we needed, including a kettle for tea. The family room was spacious, spotlessly clean, very quiet and tranquil, with air conditioning which was a relief after the hot weather of Porto. The kids had a separate room, and there was a bathroom and separate toilet. The breakfast was included in the price and a generous continental spread of pastries, breads, cereals, juice, yoghurt, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, juice, fruits, eggs etc. Overall, a terrific stay! Thank you.

I was so disappointed in this hotel. It is more like an unserviced apartment with no facilities in the room. No kettle, not even a bottle of water. Only one chair and no area to get ready unless you count by the shower. As for location, we did not feel safe walking around at night. So many rough sleepers and beggars. We were meant to be staying here two nights but we booked into another hotel for one night which was cheaper than what we paid for this hotel and was much much better. Highly recommend the Vincci Porto de Ferro and just wish we had booked there for two nights instead of here. Stunning views and a warm reception including coffee, water, tub, seating and vanity table. All that was missing from the Porto Vintage Guesthouse. I did message the owner to say we would not be there at breakfast however when we did arrive, the woman who greeted us was extremely rude. Asking where we had been and she had checked our room and we had not slept there. I was very perturbed to have our whereabouts questioned in such a way. We had left some things of ours in the room and was not expecting anyone to go into our room much less question where we had been. Especially as I had messaged to say we would not be at breakfast. Honestly the worst reception we have ever had. I do not know how anyone would rate this hotel, I feel so ripped off and the way we were treated by the receptionist soured our last day here. It wouldn’t be so bad if there was a communal area where you could go and make a drink but the door is locked except for a few hours at breakfast. And then to the worst part, the noise in room 21. All night long there were cars up and down the street, we have never had such a poor nights sleep. Save your money and stay somewhere else.
