Loved by Hotel Girassol guests
"Very clean."
"Room spaces are fine, even tehre was a little space with 1 more bed so a party of 3 could stay in same room with some privacy."
"The value for money is great : clean, with a very simple breakfast (croissants, bread, butter, jam, yogurt, fruit, milk/coffee) but filling, and the staff are very attentive (they speak English for those who don't speak Portuguese)."

“This is a solid choice for budget-conscious travelers prioritizing location in Porto's historic district, especially given its proximity to São Bento Station. While the building shows its age, the rooms are adequately sized, and the option for accommodating three guests with a degree of privacy is a definite plus. I would recommend this hotel for its value and convenience.”
