The Poets Inn

Lovely place to stay, well situated, comfortable, charming, clean, and we didn’t even have to talk to anyone to check in! They sent us instructions to check in and it was easy, seamless, and interaction-free. The balcony in our room was the icing on the cake. We really enjoyed our stay here. I’m not sure what dampness the other commenter was talking about, there is no smell and it is very clean, as of 2025. Porto itself is a very damp city, so props to the staff for keeping the inn clean and dry. It’s a short, mostly straight walk from the closest metro station, which makes it really easy to access from the airport. The only thing that makes this a 4 instead of 5 star review, is that everything is falling apart. I went to hang my coat up, and the hanger fell into three pieces. I sat on the desk chair in the room, and realized one of the legs was moments away from falling off. My fiancé pulled on a door handle, and one of the screws fell out onto the floor. I opened the curtains in the room, and the curtain rod fell off. We are pretty gentle people, it’s not like we were yanking on stuff or banging it around, but it seemed like everything we touched just…fell apart. Otherwise, everything about this place is fantastic and I would totally recommend it!!

The perfect spot for our first night in Porto. Easy access from Porto Airport via taxi or Uber and located near the Torre dos Clérigos. The perfect landmark if you want to walk around the city and need a landmark to get back to the Inn. The upstairs Suite has a small balcony and widows that open to a stunning view of downtown. Again, perfect for a first night. A clean room, tasty breakfast, great value and friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Great location, nice rooms, great price. They will send you the passcode to get in and get your keys on arrival.

First of all it is Hostel and no elevator. We arrived our first day and ask them to get us a taxi, no one show up at airport. Then we got to the Hostel and no one was there they gave us instructions via email, so I went to check the email, mind you, it was 540pm on a Thursday. Then we got to the room, towels were old and stinky. Next day the breakfast was only, pieces of ham and cheese, bread and water coffee and water “orange juice”. We request that morning before we left new towels, they picked up our towels from the floor wet and fold them for us to use them. Went down the stairs and no one was there. I complaint in the morning next day about the towels and our last day and night when we came back at 7pm, beds were done and brand mew fresh towels for us 3, no one was there at the reception desk. We left the next day and no one was there either, their reception hours were from 8am to 12 midnight as of the reception young lady, but no one was there after 3pm or 5 pm no of the 3 nights we were there.

Lovely place! Comfortable rooms, very friendly staff. They made us feel welcome and at home. Breakfast was the same every morning (assortment of cheese, meats, home made bread, juices) but was delicious and local. Will definitely stay here again when we’re back in Porto :)

This hotel has a dampness issue. You'll smell it the moment you walk through the door. It's like a cave. The beds are uncomfortable as the frame is smaller than the mattress and if you move in the night your back doesn't have support. The shared bathroom suffers from the same damp issue. Location is the only thing going for it.

Cosy and clean rooms with a balcony and shared bathroom. They serve breakfast in the morning - not very big choice (coffee, tea, ham, cheese, jam). Good location.

Staff went above and beyond, from pre booking restaurants to gifting a lovely bottle of port on my birthday. Great location in Old Town with many bars and restaurants nearby. Cannot recommend enough. Prices are excellent and breakfast is included
