Pretty good !!
The room was small, but the price was right !! , It was a uber ride to get into town , could have walked but a bit far. They did have ham and cheese and rolls for breakfast, I wish Europe had some type of eggs so tired of lunch meat. The staff was friendly, no refrigerator that was a bummer. But right around the corner was a fantastic restaurant, walking distance, can't remember the name but we went twice !! Leave the hotel out the door make a right go to corner and make left and it's literally right on the right side of road, both times we got lucky because it was packed with reservations so go right at 7 when they open !!

Not an amazing place and my bed (twin room) was a little uncomfortable. But excellent value for money and included breakfast. Would stay again for the price I paid.

Property is located fairly conveniently within walking distance to a metro station. Room was clean but old and poorly sound proofed (lots of noise from cars outside and neighbors). Staff was friendly, and the included breakfast was decent. For the relatively low price compared to other hotels near the center of Porto, I would recommend it.

Comfortable Stay
We stayed 3 nights at the Palanca. The Palanca is a small hotel in a residential area about 30 minutes walk from the centre of Porto. The room was comfortable and the breakfast great value at 2 euros 50. There is a Metro station five minutes away. At the airport we bought a 72-hour Metro and Bus pass, which proved to be a bargain at 16 euros. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful, although, annoyingly, the receptionist, when we paid our bill by card, insisted we pay in £s rather than euros. This meant our stay cost us £6 more than if we'd paid in euros.

Parking underground was a bonus. Good beds and fairly quiet room considering that hotel is close to historic district. Good breakfast.

Unlike today’s newer hotels, the room & bathroom were much larger….a very nice change. This was a great hotel, an easy 15-20 minute walk to subway) trains are only minutes away. Can’t say enough good things about the staff. I enjoyed my stay there. And I have to make an amendment to an earlier review when I referred to a woman at the front desk as Isabella. Her name is actually Annabella(hope I got the spelling correct). Thanks for all the great chats, Anabella.

It’s a family owned hotel & their attention to detail & providing good service to their guests is evident. Unlike many of the newer, more modern hotels, the rooms are spacious & very comfortable. The biggest appeal to me is that the hotel isn’t located in the heart of the tourist area.

Short stay in Porto after river cruise
Hotel was probably about 0.5ml from Marques metro stop. No issues on arrival slightly earlier than official check-in and allocated room on third floor. Room was reasonable size, clean, but with limited storage facilities and no safe. Twin beds were basic and not overly comfy but acceptable. Shower was like turning on a tap (no spray) and bathroom became very hot as internal and contained hot water cylinder. Towels were not changed but left to dry for re-use so trying to reduce energy use. Breakfast was reasonable, had to ask for cold milk for cereal as only hot provided. Rest was rolls, ham, cheese and jams. Coffee was a bit stewed and strong with fruit juice available. Check out straightforward with bill as expected, and able to leave luggage for later collection. No close by restaurants found for evening meal but several cafe's for snacks in the area.
