I was in Porto with my husband and my two children 8 and 12 years old in April 2013.. We stayed in Alvares Cabral Guest House for three nights. This is a very nice guest house with kind staff, clean rooms, at a very interesting price.

We had three nights at the Residencia Alvares Cabral in January. We emailed for availability from Lisbon and received a prompt reply informing us of the rooms they had free and the price per room. On arrival we were met by the charming host who soon set about showing us all the places we should visit whilst in the city.... More

Hi Helen. It was a pleasure have you here with us! Thank you for your kind review! We were just concerned about the fact that you said the wifi connection didn't work in your 3 days stay. The wifi for guests is the same as the staff uses and we found no connectivity problem. Some times guests have problems with... More

Great way to visit Porto! Our room was definitely big enough for the the two of us. The only disadvantage was that the room was rather cold (we stayed here in January) and humid. Because there is no heating in the rooms, they put an electric stove in our room, which helped a lot to fight the cold in the... More

This Guest House was a great place with which to explore Porto. The staff were super friendly, helping us plan what to do over the course of our short stay. The room was small, but perfectly fine and very clean. In our room (at the back of the house) it was extremely quiet. Thanks very much to the staff for... More

Spent a couple nights here and really appreciated all the helpful advice Raul gave us about the city. They also have a lot of guidebooks, etc. The room was small but quiet and imaginatively designed (in a nautical theme to maximize space). Unfortunately the weather was unseasonably cold and the base heater in our room never warmed it up enough... More

I really would love to give this hotel 4 stars. The hosts (a father/son) could not be nicer or more helpful. The B&B is in a cool old building that has been beautifully restored and refitted. The rooms are comfortable. (bed was too soft for my husband, but comfortable for me). However, when we stayed there at the end of... More

We were a party of five friends on a limited budget holiday so were not expecting too much. What we got was a lovely place to stay at an unbeatable price.
