I stayed in a property 1/2 block away from the main property. It was fantastic! Two queen beds, one in a private bedroom. Super clean, comfortable beds and pillows, nice sheets, great shower, huge kitchen which I didn’t need but it was nice, all up-to-date. This would be a great place for a family of four including a room that would let kids run around. Both TVs were really great with lots and lots of channels. It has some interesting Decor that was fun like a cabin. But what was the best part? The BUFFET in the main building! It was amazing. Holy Cow! The coffee machine had 8 types of freshly made coffee. I had the Americano. I wish I had stayed here the whole time I was in Porto. I will next time. Highly recommend for everybody. Met a lot of nice people, some were walking the Camino, great conversations. It was lovely. A+++
BEST BUFFET EVER!

Bare Bones, Barely

Fantastic location to stay in Matosinhos, but tiny rooms like a cell. The room had a clean, comfortable bed and a good tv, but no window, nobedside tables or lamps. The only lighting came from a skylight, one bright led in the entryway, and the bathroom. Inexpensive compared to a hotel, but nothing close to hotel service.

Very cute property and within walking distance to shopping and restaurants. There is a restaurant right down stairs and it can get a little loud with the diners outside so if you want it quiet this might not be the spot for you, they also should provide the name of the receptionist area when they message you with the check in instructions cause we had some trouble finding the place to check in when the uber dropped us off.

Noisy

The location of the hotel is great to stay.In the center very close to the shops and also the beach. And also the ambiance af the hotel is very nice buy unfortunately because its an old place,the floor makes noise when you walk. Therefore in the hall or in the room when you or somebody walks it makes noise alot. And also because its on the main road its very noisy.

Ottimo soggiorno

Abbiamo soggiornato a Luglio al San Francisco guest house e malgrado il tempo non sia stato clemente la struttura, vuoi per vicinanza al mare, vuoi perché c'è un'ottima caffetteria al piano terra dell'edificio è stata veramente la scelta ottimale. Splendida la sua struttura, ottima pulizia, eccezionale la posizione.

Aceitável

Boa localização, boas instalações e simpatia de funcionários. Bom para estadia somente para uma noite, se não for em casal. Pontos negativos: problemas com interruptores de eletricidade, edredão manchado, a água do chuveiro não vinha quente, hóspedes duvidosos e ouvia-se tudo (quer da guesthouse quer da rua).
