Good vibes, nice interiors and unbeatable location

Nicola Italy

I stayed in a shared room with bunkbeds. The beds were cubicles that you could close with a curtain. Each bed had its own reading lamp, charger and shelf. The mattress was comfortable. It was fun to meet other people hiking the Camino in the shared living rooms

Tom United States of America

Loved the place. We had a beautiful room with a loft. Laundry was next door. Nice breakfast - orange juice was superb.

Nancy United States of America

It was nice enough. The staff are not there on the weekend when I was there.

Nadel United States of America

The host was amazing! Very welcoming, he even came out on the street while on the phone with me while helping me find the place! Very friendly and professional.

Menzies Canada

Quiet and clean! Perfect location, just off the Camino.

Jeanne United States of America

Everything was great, if you go there for the beach it is just 5 minutes away, if for a city walk, you can find the bus and metro station nearby, beds were very private , comfortable and clean, which is really important after a long day! Staff was very kind and helpful, so if I am back to Porto again, I know where I am staying. Many thanks!

Galstyan Italy

We arrived at the Porto Airport in the afternoon to start our Camino. Fishtail Seahouse is an easy 10km walk from the Cathedral of Porto and is easy walking distance to some really great seafood restaurants. Accommodations were good. We didn't stay long enough to make use of the outdoors areas but they were very nice. This would make a great base to spend a few days while exploring.

Richard United States of America

I liked everything. it was wonderful. Clean and staff was amazing.

Jasmine Canada

One of the percs of staying at a small property is meeting the local people. No one manned the desk, nor was on property. They did respond promptly to an emergency report of all guests being locked inside and had a repairman there within an hour. Curtains around bed were nice for privacy, but in summer it would be way too hot to keep closed. A blanket was not needed in April. Every bed has a light and a plug in. WiFi kept connected. Communal area was comfortable.
