Hotel Aliados

Last year, we stayed here for our visit to Porto, Portugal, and it is definitely a place that we will stay next time. The hotel has its own character, and you could appreciate the history of the building. The location was excellent and within walking distance to many tourist attractions and to other places that are worthy of visiting. The service was awesome! We communicated using a little bit of Portuguese and Spanish, and the front desk person was patient, polite and made very good suggestions of places to visit.

Very old fashioned with limited facilities. Excellent views from our top floor balcony room. I noticed the windows in the rooms on the same floor were too high to see out of. Bed would have been comfortable if it’s wasn’t for the plastic mattress protector that made us hot and crinkled when we moved. There was a kettle in our room but no tea, coffee etc. these were provided when asked for at reception. Milk was given to us in a cup. There is no fridge to store milk in the room. Carpets on the stairs above reception were very worn. There is a lift but you have to negotiate around 10 steps from the street to access it, not disabled friendly. Continental breakfast choice was limited, breakfast room was very in inviting with plastic on tables. Staff were friendly and helpful. Close to many sightseeing locations and very close to metro station.

Perfect location for exploring central Porto. Walking distance to many places but also a stones throw away from a metro station. Perfectly placed. Hotel itself is old fashioned and the room and bathroom were very small but it was absolutely fine for just me! Hotel is old fashioned but charming and the reception staff were so welcoming and lovely! Also very quiet despite it's central location.

Great location, price for the nite I was staying in the city. I was hoping to stay for 3 nights, but the room wasn't available for all stays, so I had to do a hotel switch across the street. Just that I didn't need to take my luggage around much. The stay included breakfast with typical meals, which was enjoyable. The room was rather aged, but it was fine. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Just be noted, there is a small flight of stairs from the street to the first floor of the elevator, so u will need to be able to carry ur luggage UP

The location is the best possible in Porto. All the points of interest are reachable on foot. Good windows completely illuminate outside noise. The bathroom is clean and plumbing fixtures are new and functional, but the bathroom itself is extremely small. A/C is quiet and efficient. Furniture has not been updated since 1928. It is shaky and creaky. There is no elevator service between the entrance and second floor. Usually, a three-star hotel provides a small refrigerator in the room, but not in this case.|The restaurant downstairs is good and has a fixed dinner menu (15 euros per person) on weekdays. Breakfast (10 euros per person) is plain.|Overall, this is a good place to stay, if you are not going to spend too much time in your room.|

This is an absolutely lovely Hotel! The staff are so friendly and helpful and the views are amazing. It's quite an old-fashioned hotel but that makes it more charming and we would highly recommend it. It's also a perfect location for exploring Porto as its very centrally placed.

.... but the hotel has seen better days, its website claims it to have recently been renovated, probably not updated their website for a century. Worse, it also claims to have a bar/lounge with a large selection of beverages; an inhouse bar being a major factor when I choose a hotel. This is totally misleading, it does have a rather untidy lounge, but the supposedly large selection of drinks is limited to beer, soft drinks and water in a dispensing machine. Avoid room 303 the bathroom is so small you have to squeeze sideways between the sink and the wall to get to the toilet and no room anywhere in it to bend down (and I'm far from obese). In the bedroom a screw projected from the wall to serve as a holder for the central heating remote control. As others have mentioned security could be an issue as strangers can walk in from the street and bypass the reception area. There was a kettle in the room but no tea/sugar/milk. If you can't afford a better hotel than this then I wouldn't recommend visiting the building site currently masquerading as Porto old town until the new metro line is finished. Breakfast was average. Pretty good location though.

Very clean. Really cool atmosphere in a historic building. Staff was so helpful and kind. We got here last minute and the hostess moved us to a quieter room when we were concerned about hallway noise. Breakfast was fresh and the staff are constantly cleaning surfaces. Location is awesome.

Was a great hotel,the rooms very clean and the staff very friendly,we had a room with a very small balcony but with a wonderful view!i would recommend happily.

Hotel Aliados was my friend from Porto's number one recommendation for lodging, and it was a good one. The Avenida dos Aliados (avenue of the allies,) in the heart of Porto, is also home to City Hall and the mayor's office. I was within easy walking distance of Clérigos, Ribeira, Crystal Palace, Mercado Bolhao, and much more. This historic hotel has been modernized and is well cared for: the shower's water pressure was strong, the wi-fi internet was fast, the breakfast was worth the 5 euros.
