The room was good with a balcony to have a pleasant night drink after exploring Porto. The room condition was ok.
The straff was really nice. The breakfast was good, but not great.
Overall, with all ups and downs, it was a nice place to stay.

Highly recommend
Best stay we had on our 2 week vacation to Spain/Portugal. The receptionist was absolutely lovely, quick messages, and a fantastic guide to help us out sent before we arrived with parking info. Loved the little patio and the welcome beverage. Was close to everything but quiet enough we didn’t hear any big city noise.

Fantastic place for Porto
This is just like a hotel, couldn't fault it really. The basic rooms are a bit smaller, but it worked fine for us (a young couple). The superior rooms are really nice. Everything is lovely and clean and comfortable, bathrooms are great, aircon works well. The terrace is a real bonus and the customer service and staff at the check-in desk were excellent. It's in a great area with plenty of bar and restaurants around, nice to see a new bit of the city which has a good vibe.

My wife and I spent seven nights at this lovely guest house. Nice room, we went for the superior which was great. Very nice breakfast, terrace area for outside seating. Small bar for drinks too. TV has some channels in other European languages. Good WiFi. Close to metro station and a couple of handy bus stops to downtown or the coastal suburb of Matosinhos. Can't wait to visit again.

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.

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.
