Hotel Aliados

Centrally located in Porto. Old building in a very noisy part of the city. The wooden window shutters banging at 05:30 by fellow inconsiderate hotel dwellers were a reminder of my time in the military and not very conducive to pleasant thoughts about Porto.

We stayed in room 201, which is just between reception and lifts. Because you’re requested to leave keys at reception, there was a steady stream of people walking past all through the night, chatting and laughing. The walls in this hotel are paper thin, so we were basically kept awake the entire night. In addition, the double bed is so narrow that it barely fits two adults and the pillows left a lot to be desired. I would not stay again

Although classed as a 3 star hotel, it didnt live up to that rating. The first full day , they had not cleaned the room. Had to ask why at the reception bearing in mind this was 5.15pm. It would appear that the house keeper had forgotten. Breakfast was very basic to say the least. Porto itself is a very interesting and lovely city. Very hilly in places, although this didn't spoil the pleasure. It would be a place we would certainly visit again.

A great location but expensive for a fairly run down hotel. Better to stay a bit further back and get value for money.

Although located in a convenient area, this hotel was not easily accessible to drop off luggage and check in. We rented a car and my husband had to quickly stop and take luggage from car before being chased away by local police. Reception desk on second floor is only accessed by stairs. Our room was on 6th floor and elevator only goes up to 5th floor and elevator was tiny but that might be in many hotels. Staff was basically indifferent to helping guests. They need staff to help with luggage. Condition of building can be described as drab and tired. This place needs a major facelift.
