Hotel do Norte

Staff seemed professional, and everything was clean. The bathroom was tastefully decorated in recent renovation. There is a small bar where drinks can be purchased. I'd recommend this to those on a budget, but we would choose to spend a little more on a return to Porto.

The room was on the small size, as was the bed, and you could hardly move in the bathroom. We had a big problem with the cold water supply, but this was being worked on while we were there.

The building went into a major reform in 2008. Although it is old, it is well renovated. It is not expensive, comfortable and clean. It is located 50 steps from Bolhao metro station and 15 min walk of the historic center.

It did not bother me, but some guests may find the rooms noisy. The traffic on the street in front is a bit high, and you can hear what is being said in the corridor.

The facilities were renovated recently. All the rooms have been painted fresh and bathrooms look very clean and stylish.

Size of the bed, not the standard minimum. The room door doesn't isolate the sound, you can hear everyone talking and moving. The staff starts talking very loud in the corridor while their cleaning in the morning. The windows don't isolate from the street sound.

The building is very well renovated. The staircase is beautiful and has a lot of character. The room itself and bathroom are very small but comfortable and (most important) very clean.

No breakfast option (yet). Nightstaff somewhat unprofessional (not hearing the bell, not knowing how the machine for the creditcard worked, etc...).
