The boxes were very cozy and quiet. Small but had everything you needed. The rooftop with the plunge pools were nice. We ate at the restaurant and the food was good. The bar has a nice lively vibe. We had an unfortunate accident one night in town and the staff were so very kind to us when we arrived back at the hotel. It was a great stay!

I liked the staff and amenities. My room had a constant buzzing sound. I was only sleeping there for the most part and exploring the city so I could ignore the buzzing but a light sleeper would have a problem. I did not tell the staff until checkout - again, I could sleep through it so wasn't enough for me to complain - the gentleman at checkout said it might have been the air conditioner and they'd take a look. Great amenities and friendly staff. Clean room. Near a lot of things.

Minimalistic 10x. Only a wooden box for a room. 8x8 room. All amenities are within the hotel but not in room. Great concept. Fun stay. They have a rooftop lounge and terrace. Water tank “pool” and cool restaurant and bar downstairs. Old bank converted to hotel. Cool vibes.

We LOVED staying here. The staff was so friendly, the rooms were clean and well kept, and there was a lot to do on the property. My only advice is to set an alarm if you have somewhere to be in the morning because the rooms are so dark. Would definitely recommend to everyone!

Room was well lit considering the box with no windows, it never felt cramped or like I was in a cave. Would definitely stay again especially considering the price paid. The bar area was also really comfy with a good choice of cocktails

I wasn’t here for very long due to being in transit. But, i will DEFINITELY stay here when I come back to Porto for a longer stay! I had a wonderful warm welcome when checking in, which was followed up by supreme service from the team in the restaurant and bar. The food and drinks there are delicious. The room was comfortable and as advertised

It was our first experience in a concept hotel, and it was definitely a positive one. There are no rooms as such, but rather ‘boxes’ with no windows or natural light, so if you intend to spend most of your time in Porto in your hotel room, this isn’t the property for you. The idea is to make use of the shared spaces… and it was great! I must admit we didn’t eat at the restaurant or use the bar, but there is an amazing terrace with two small pools, a sauna, and a couple of places to chill. It’s an extremely interesting place. An honourable mention to the staff members who did a great job. Thanks
