    The accommodation is right under the Luis I bridge, which means the tram passes above your head loudly from 7am until after midnight.

    This place is great, clean and centrally located. The contact with the host and service are great! One of the cutest rooms/ accommodations I have stayed at!

    One thing to pay attention to, to reach the hotel you either need to go up the stairs from below the bridge or down from the bridge start (I recommend the second option when you arrive and the first when you leave), quite confusing when coming by taxi and the exact location is not mentioned in the instructions.

    Secure, clean, close to the river and city center, kitchen with coffee maker, breakfast bits, and a fridge. Complimentary wine in the room and water. Communication was excellent.

    The property was under the train line, and the stairs outside the property were popular with party goers, so it was noisy day and night.

    The room was modern, very clean and comfortable. It's a quirky conversion of an old property. The owners were very helpful and attentive. The location was the perfect distance between the tourist attractions and the port cellars.

    It's not a "didn't like" category really but you will need to keep the noise down for the benefit of other guests. Trams on the amazing bridge that crosses above make a noise when they pass over but I didn't hear them between 2300 and 0600.

    Fantastic place to stay, a very unusual atmosphere for somewhere close to a city centre. Friendly host, snack and breakfast options.

    The noise-it's right by the bridge and trains start running at about 6am and it's so loud! Also our room was just on the side of the kitchen which was great but there's no noise insulation and we could hear everybody in the morning making coffee and it kept us up. Also we booked a room with bunk beds-they were very comfortable especially the mattress but definately not the easiest to get in to so just something to be mindfull of

    The location is superb, hosts were very good, easy to reach and good communication. I loved the fact we could self check in & out and were given the clearest instructions of how to do so. There is a small communal kitchen with complimentary tea and coffee (pods and instant) and even some pastries which was a bonus. We've also received complimentary port and water in the room. The room was spotless and very modern.

    Trains run directly over the top of the roof, noisy, but Surprisingly did not effect our sleep. Very steep & long set of steps up from the harbour Only view of the river, is if you lean out the window. Very small room & toilet/shower

    Intriguing old property. Very secure Spotlessly clean Close to lovely cafe overlooking harbour Very good value for money Directly above the main harbour resturants

    It's a comfy place with a good location but it has the drawback of the train and the many stairs.

    To get to Douro you have to walk up many stairs or walk down many stairs. It is underneath the above ground metro which runs from around 5:30 AM to midnight. I would have chosen a different place if I'd been aware of the stairs and the rumbling train. I'm pretty surprised that no one has mentioned either of these things in the reviews. I have no problem with stairs but my companion did. Once you've left for the day it's not a place you'd pop back in without thinking about all those stairs to go down and then back up or vice-versa.

    The location is fine. The rooms are comfortable and clean.

    The place is directly below the bridge and the Metro trains seem to run over it all night. I had ear plugs and used them. I rushed the booking so maybe more research would have revealed that.

    The central location. The kitchen and supply of coffee and brioche buns.

    Although the location is great, to reach it you need to go through a steep way when arriving with the metro. One would prefer to arrive down at Pont Luis and climb the stairs. The rooms are below the train and you can hear it (not a huge issue when closing the windows though). This was a minor detail for us

    A very good position, close to the Pont Luis (less then 2 minutes). Very close to the river as well. The rooms are small but clean and all the necessary items are provided. I suggest to reach the rooms from the Pont Luis.
