Very nice hotel. Particularly liked the outdoor space plus the staff were so friendly, polite and helpful. Couldn't fault it. In terms of traveling from the airport, the hotel is perfect as it's a 5 minute walk from the metro. I can wholly recommend it.

Fantastic staff

Wonderful staff, I mean really really really wonderful staff. Great position for a hotel to explore Porto. But the room was tiny, and for us the bed was too firm. That being said, if you are only in Porto for a couple of days and like a firm bed, then I would happily recommend Boavista.

Boavista Guest House is a lovely, friendly and clean place to base yourself when in Porto. It is away from the touristy part of town and only a short walk to the city. The train line is just around the corner. There is a good 24 hour parking lot about a 5 minute walk away for under €10 a day. The breakfast provided was more than enough to get us through to lunch. I would absolutely stay there again.

I was welcomed incredibly friendly by Carla, who performed the check-in - we had a very nice chat about the Caminho and she even offered me a glass of port wine. The accommodation itself is comfortable, quiet and clean, with a terrace in the back. It's also super close to the metro station, which is very convenient for any traveller. I only stayed one night but I had a good time and good rest and would recommend it to anyone.

Quick stop

I was in Porto just for the night and I really wish I had stayed here when I was in Porto previously! This is a really cute place to stay. It is well renovated and is really clean. My room was small but really comfortable. The icing on the cake though is the staff. Every time I walked passed a staff member they greeted me and asked if I was ok. I felt very at home here. I am sad that I wasn't able to experience the patio, bar etc while I was here.....just means I have something to come back for :)

Wie waren als Familie im Boavista Guest House und würden jederzeit wieder kommen. Die Unterkunft ist sauber, die Mitarbeiter freundlich und nicht hellhörig, was sonst auf so engem Raum oft der Fall ist. Das Frühstück hat uns sehr gut gefallen und man hat sowohl gute Anbindungen mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln als das man auch fußläufig vieles erreicht.

We stayed here for 4 nights in 2 single rooms. The guest house was clean, and location was perfect, either for walking into Porto or using the metro. The staff were lovely and went out of their way to be helpful. Breakfast was excellent. We would highly recommend and would most definitely stay here again if we came back to Porto.

Das kleine Gästehaus glänzt durch das herzliche Team. Es ist alles neu und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet sowie super sauber. Das Frühstück ist lecker und die Dachterrasse gemütlich. Die Metro und Stadtbushaltestellen sind nur ein paar Minuten entfernt und auch Parkplätze gibt es. Die große Strasse vor der Tür ist der Kompromiss für Stadtnähe. Preis & Leistungen stimmen. Hab mich sehr wohl gefühlt.
