    The staff was super helpful, courteous, and went above and beyond (accompanied us to the parking garage). We attended the wine tasting and Fado event and thoroughly enjoyed it - Lahanie is amazing.

    Casa Kala is a quaint, romantic Hotel/Bed & Breakfast, that provides excellent service and location.

    The weather could have been better for the first 2 nights, but in spite of this, the lady at the desk printed out several pages of ideas for what we could do in Porto on rainy days. We were very happy with our stay at Casa Kala, and would highly recommend this hotel to other travelers.

    We liked the intimacy of the hotel. We felt as though we were in a Bed & Breakfast. Each morning, we went to breakfast right outside our door. There was a buffet spread of bread, pastries, meat and cheese, and optional fresh made eggs and bacon, coffee, tea and juice. The hotel had a quaint outside courtyard and a lovely view from our room. All of the staff was friendly and helpful, accommodating us with whatever we needed. They recommended restaurants, helped us make reservations and went into detail with the maps they gave us to get around Porto. They also helped me retrieve my luggage that was lost in Madrid.

    Nothing to fault about the property.

    We loved that bit was a small boutique hotel - which had recently been renovated to a very highly standard. Staff were all amazing & so helpful. The location was great all be it I struggled. With the hill but bolts are easily accessible and cheap. The hammocks and egg chair were a nice touch. And very welcomed on our last day.

    Floor in toilet was cold sometimes, besides it nothing :)

    This accommodation is perfect, too close to all the interesting Porto places. Very easy to achieve all of them, and it is not too close to noisy tourist places. Just an ideal place to stay, the staff was helpful and ready to solve all your issues or answer your questions, it doesn't matter if is it related to this perfect house or just about Porto. When you wake up you can hear birds singing, open the window, and see this green grassplot. Also you can ask for private and best parking place to rent.

    The room was a bit small, once you added our luggage (which was only carry-ons). But we made it work.

    The staff was absolutely wonderful! They went out of their way to assist us and even packed us an early "to-go" breakfast when we had to get to a tour very early. The courtyard of the property was lovely and peaceful; a great place to enjoy a drink or your meal.

    Everything! It was an amazing holiday, thanks to the wonderful staff of Casa Kala and the very clean, new, beautifully built hotel. We love the high ceilings, well ventilated rooms, sound-proofing, the art decor and the lock system. They have given us packed breakfasts for our early Douro Tour as well as for the early departure for the airport. They have also given us a complimentary wine and a birthday balloon to celebrate. Thank you, Casa Kala!

    Nothing — it was really perfect (except for lack of parking).

    The rooms were beautiful, quiet and very clean. The hotel was set back from the street,and so even though it was close to some of the busiest sections of Porto, it felt very peaceful.

    This is a beautiful hotel well thought in every detail. The staff were super helpful and nice. Breakfast was excellent too. We had bad weather, but we think with good weather it'd be even nicer as you can enjoy the garden. Thank you for making our stay in Porto so good, we had a great time.

    Sweet spot between a Hotel and an Airbnb near the center.
    • Leisure trip

    • Stayed 3 nights

    Know before you go: 🅿️ The parking is two blocks away from the hotel, not a problem for me, but the entrance is very small. It was a little bit difficult to access in a mid size car. 📍 There's a steep hill upwards if you want to walk back to the hotel from the center. This is applies to everything in Porto 😂. 🛏️ Bed sometimes wasn't that comfy, but it was probably a personal preference.

    📍 Arriving was super easy, and location is a couple of blocks from the center, excellent to be close to everything, but not in the middle of it. 👫 Staff was amazing and welcoming, they provided information when needed, and it was easy to comunicate with. There's no people in the counter 24/7, but you can easily access snacks in the first floor, and the entrance to the house is automated. 🥐 Breakfast was 10/10 for me. they ask how you want your eggs in the morning, and its complemented with a breakfast bar full of bread options, coffee, fruit, among others. 🤖 The automated check in, and automated access is always a win for me. They left access to the parking in my room, and access codes were communicated before arrival. ---- 💯 Overall is a very good place to stay. It is a sweet middle spot between a Hotel and an Airbnb. This is now our place to stay when we go back to Porto.
