My first time visiting Porto. It is a cute little town. Hotel was very nice and quiet. Welcoming, professional staff. I was traveling solo. Enjoyed my breakfast every morning😎. There’s lots to do around there, wine tasting, shopping.. etc. If I ever find myself in Portugal/Porto again, I'll def be coming back here. Thank you!

Chose to stay at Sandeman at end of my Camino. Probably one of the nicest places I stayed. The sleeping pods are brilliant- very comfortable bedding and a good size with high ceilings plus a light and plug. The pod itself is quite roomy. The location is good across the river from Porto but access to the Metro is simple but does require an uphill climb! The breakfast, welcome drinks, snacks and common area is brilliant.
