Residencial Faria Guimarães

This accommodation is located a few metres away from a metro station of the same name. The hotel in itself is fine, despite the fact that smoking is not allowed, the corridor smells of smoke. The first room we got was really small but then we were moved to a bigger one. As this room was facing the main road, sleeping was difficult. There is no breakfast on offer but plenty to choose from. The location is ideal for those that enjoy walking.

Clean, easy going and good location. The owner tries her best to accommodate guest and gives useful information about the area. The first night we were in a very small room but the next day we were given a nice big room. It is a good deal considering the price paid.

Nice shower, nice bedding, nice TV. We even got a small bottle of complimentary port wine. As other reviewer said, cars on the street can make some noise since they are going uphill, but with the window closed I found it to be totally fine.

WAS OK

Total disaster! If you have chance to pay even 20€ more about hotel, please do that! Staying in this hotel felt like staying illegally in somebody's home basically. This place don't feel comfortable at all and customer service is not nice. Peace and love, you have to really do something.

Very flexible and hospitable staff - reception desk is 24/7 and staff are multi-lingual. When I arrived there the card machine was not working at the hotel and I hadn't brought cash - the host assured me this was no trouble at all and that I could pay the next day if I needed to; I was very grateful. On arrival the host kindly gave us a map of the city and showed us all the major services nearby including the nearest metro station, bus stops and recommended some local places we could go to get a bite to eat etc at a responsible price. Staff cleaned the room immaculately each day. Only thing was that there were no food services at the hotel nor garden/balcony, however with so many lovely landmarks nearby and loads of low-budget cafes in the local area this was no issue for us. I noted some people noted the staff were not fluent in English - in my experience the English they had was more than sufficient for a hotel guest even if not fluent. I also think it is terribly rude to visit a country without making the effort to learn even a few sentences in the native language. A pocket phrasebook will be more than sufficient, if needed at all.

Skye ( the receptionist) was very helpful and informative. Although language was a slight barrier, she always got the message across and was available at all times that I needed her. She also helped me carry my luggage.

I enjoyed my stay in Port and at the Hotel, People are very friendly and very helpful. If I go to Porto again I will stay there again. Thank you very much

Helpful staff, quiet area but there isn't much to do.

Nice self catering apartment. Very noisy as the bedroom is facing the road
