situated near one of the many squares where can be found many bars and restaurants. Within walking distance of the river front although there are very many steps to go down. Plenty of taxis around at reasonable rates. Smallish room with 2 single beds which I found to be very narrow. Very clean - towels each day and hot water all day - breakfast served in the small dining area between 8 and 10 consists of cornflakes in a very small bowl with a smaller still spoon which made the finishing off of the cornflakes a long job. Also rolls with ham and cheese, coffee - tea - juices, there is also an outdoor dining area. Very friendly and helpful staff. If you hire a car there is a garage next door which is a godsend given the narrow streets with the parking restrictions. There is a lift to all floors.

Located minutes off of one of Porto's main shopping streets, which boasts a metro station, the hotel Sao Gabriel is a cheap and cheerful little hotel perfect for a few nights in Portugal's second city. I stayed for 3 nights, and arriving late on the first of those, I immediately chalked up a positive as the gent behind the check in desk was quick to outfit me with a map of the city. Not in itself uncommon to be issued with one of these upon checking in to show proximity to the main tourist spots (and make no mistake this hotel is ideally placed for those) but he took the time to point out some more practical locations you won't get - pharmacy, supermarket and restaurants that would be likely to still be open. This isn't office taught customer services, this is being a genuine good guy. The room itself was decently sized, pretty basic and very old fashioned in its furnishing. This doesn't particularly both me as it was perfectly clean and everything included was functional. That and I don't usually plan on spending too much time in my hotel room when abroad. Breakfast was served in a little rooftop terrace that I imagine would be very nice in the summer, and was the type of continental fare that anyone who has ever had a breakfast in Europe will be familiar with. Again, I've no problem with this whatsoever. Truth be told, the Sao Gabriel is a pretty standard European hotel, and many times I'd rate it 3/5. Passable, if unspectacular accommodation I wouldn't have a problem visiting again. However a combination of its excellent location, low cost and helpful staff mean I'm banging it up a star. I plan on visiting Porto again and I'd certainly investigate its availability!

The room was small but clean and comfortable. It was quiet and we slept well for the three nights we had here. Based solely on the room, I would have rated this hotel average but with on site parking, the very convenient location and breakfast, I have gone with Very Good. In particular, the on site parking was a true blessing. I can't imagine navigating the narrow streets looking for parking and dragging suitcases back to the hotel. The main pedestrian only shopping street of Rua de Santa Caterina is a three minute walk and the very centre of town is 10 minutes. Breakfast was perfectly adequate if a bit limited as to options. Front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this budget hotel.

Once you have arrived in the narrow streets of Porto in your rental car you will appreciate the garage adjacent to the hotel so that you needn't worry about a public parking space possibly a mile away, - i.e. if you are lucky enough to find a space at all. The hotel rooms are small but very tidy, the bathroom a little outdated but meticulously clean. The tiny breakfast room is very good if you are ready to socialize with the international customers of the hotel. The breakfast offers are sufficient. Don't expect gourmet food. The staff is friendly and helpful.

I booked a room online and after a long journey arrived to the place very tired. I was then told that there was a problem with the room and told to go somewhere else. I wasnt offered transportation and had to walk over a mile to Hotel Nave wbere they had arranged a room for me at the same price. I wasnt offered any sort of discount for the trouble. Having read previous reviews of the place i guess this was not the first time it happend. For this reason i do not recommend the place. An early email or a phone call would have made a real difference.
