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.

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.

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.

I was welcomed incredibly friendly by Carla, who performed the check-in - we had a very nice chat about the Caminho and she even offered me a glass of port wine. The accommodation itself is comfortable, quiet and clean, with a terrace in the back. It's also super close to the metro station, which is very convenient for any traveller. I only stayed one night but I had a good time and good rest and would recommend it to anyone.

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.

Wonderful staff, I mean really really really wonderful staff. Great position for a hotel to explore Porto. But the room was tiny, and for us the bed was too firm. That being said, if you are only in Porto for a couple of days and like a firm bed, then I would happily recommend Boavista.

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.

We reported twice that there was blood stains on our sheets, then we noticed bug bites on our arms, face and hand. We told the hotel receptionist that there are bed bugs on the bed we slept onand all she said was I’m so sorry have a nice day.

Wie waren als Familie im Boavista Guest House und würden jederzeit wieder kommen. Die Unterkunft ist sauber, die Mitarbeiter freundlich und nicht hellhörig, was sonst auf so engem Raum oft der Fall ist. Das Frühstück hat uns sehr gut gefallen und man hat sowohl gute Anbindungen mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln als das man auch fußläufig vieles erreicht.
