From the moment we arrived, the hospitality at Cale Guest House was exceptional. Check-in was warm and welcoming, complete with a thoughtful offer of coffee and breakfast. Communication before arrival was prompt and helpful, setting the tone for a smooth stay. We were given a personal tour of the amenities, including a stunning terrace that quickly became one of our favorite spots to unwind. Every detail reflected genuine care and attentiveness. Highly recommend for anyone seeking comfort, charm, and outstanding service in Porto.

This small guesthouse is a gem! Our twin double room had a large sitting area and was probably more than 400 sq ft. The communication before arrival was excellent. The breakfast was very good and they allowed us to check our luggage while we explored the city. I would stay there again.

Located in an excellent, central area. As similar reviews noted, it was fairly noisy when someone was walking past the bedroom door due to the wooden floorboards. Breakfast was a nice selection of pastries/ meats/ cheeses and hot drinks. Would stay again and recommend to family and friends

Cale Guest House is a heritage property with many stairs. We knew this prior to staying, but still a lot of climbing. The amenities were simple, yet met our needs. The staff were great, the rooms tidy and clean and beds were absolutely the best. Breakfast was quite adequate and tasty. The location near the river was ideal for dining, but crazy busy for the end of September. We enjoyed our stay.
