"E-post med information skickades innan jag kom, och det var lätt att hitta och få tillgång till rummet. Allt var rent. Jag skulle bara föreslå att toalettborsten byts ut mot en ny.
Boendet ligger nära många butiker och centrala Porto, cirka 10 minuters promenad bort.
Det är dock viktigt att notera att hostelet ligger i en gammal byggnad, vilket innebär att ljudisoleringen inte är den bästa. Jag brukar vanligtvis sova bra, men jag vaknade eftersom vissa gäster förde oväsen under natten."

"Absolutely loved staying here. The staff was so friendly and helpful. In a great area outside of the old town. A plus to have the car garage. We will absolutely stay here again."

"The place is truly a hidden gem. You feel like a guest in a home. It’s decorated beautifully. I normally struggle with sleeping in hotels but I was getting the best night sleep. The place has a coat feel even though it’s decorated like a place out of a magazine. All the staff were very helpful and extremely nice. I definitely recommend that you book your stay here. I had a wonderful time."

"You basically no contact with staff, only when you go down for breakfast on the first day when she ask the room number, after that she will ignore you the whole time.
Don’t bother including breakfast unless you like boiled eggs. My son did not even went down for breakfast for the 3 days that we were there because there was only boiled eggs and toast."

"Excellent choice. Large comfortable rooms, great view! Breakfast was great. Amazing location to visit all points of interest. Good service. The hotel’s decor is a little outdated but in good condition. Highly recommend it"
"This is a great hotel to stay at, with excellent facilities in the rooms. The staff are exceedingly friendly and very helpful. In addition to large amounts of storage, the rooms are fully equipped with a small oven, a hob, a dishwasher, stacks of plates, silverware, a very large fridge / freezer, and a TV. The bathroom is amazing! We'll definitely use this hotel for future stays!!"
"Had a fantastic 2 night stay at the Mercure Porto Centro Aliados. The hotel felt like an oasis of calm in a busy city. The location is convenient and the pool was fantastic after a busy day of sightseeing. I would definitely stay here again. "
"Let me start by saying they have the best hotel reception staff ever. Truly. Down to earth, genuinely cool, helpful, all around amazing. The “concept” of the box design room though is not for everyone. It’s more of a capsule hotel. I found many aspects of the box a bit frustrating: the room lacks basic amenities (think ledges for your toiletries bags, a ledge in the shower for your soap/toiletries, basic hooks for towels, etc). It’s frustrating because these “hyper-minimalist designs” sometimes veer on basic cheapness. And that’s what it sadly felt like.
I’m also very short and the ceilings were extremelyyyy low, so I don’t know how my 6’1 friends/family could ever stay here. I would
not recommend this hotel is anyone with claustrophobia, etc since there are no windows either.
That said, I had an amazing night’s sleep but the overall design was not for me. I’m a design editor/writer so…yeah…it didn’t hit. BUT the staff was top tier/5 star. Rooftop is lovely, too."
"Excellent service and accommodations. Very good breakfast buffet, and À la cart menu. Very easy to check in and check out. A wonderful experience. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. We had a very similar experience in Florence Italy."
