Modern apartment on an ancient street in the heart of the old town. Lots of space.

Bit weird not seeing anyone on arrival but it did work out okay. My room was absolutely fine.

Great find
Great place to stay as this was near all amenities. There was a mini supermarket nearby, tourist attractions and the room we had had doors that closed off the noise from the busy main street. The place was on the second floor above the restaurant with a great shower, had a fridge and a mini area to prepare/store food. The only thing was bins weren't emptied daily but we could take that to a bin outside.

Amazing modern rooms in perfect location
Babel was AMAZING! We got an upgrade to the apartment and it didn’t disappoint. So modern and clean, in the most traditional part of town. The sister restaurant below is also incredible. The only minor problem was communicating with the staff (it is unmanned), so we were a bit unsure how to check-in. But once we got in touch, everything was perfect. Highly recommend!

The space was just as adverstised, with easy communication via email. Accomondating our late check out was a life saver.
scott, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The location was perfect! Right in the middle of everything, with a metro station two streets over. The instructions they gave us were clear and everything was easy and convenient. But be aware that there is no elevator! We had to carry our bags three floors up. The room offers plenty of space and was clean but the couch was broken in the middle. You couldn't really use it. The worst part was the bathroom. Black and poorly lit, you couldn't see anything, if it was clean or not. There was no circulation in the bathroom and the whole room smelled musty after a shower. The shower had great pressure and was pleasant but the warm water wasn't enough for two people. You had to wait for 20 minutes for the water to get warm again.
Sofia, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Our room was very nice, the bed was comfortable and the location is excellent. Everything is within easy walking distance and the Trasca restaurant just 50m served excellent tapas. I would recommend it however be aware, there is NO information available in the hotel as the front desk is deserted, the duvet cover was stained which we advised them of on the first night and the next evening they finally saw our message and wanted to leave it until we left but finally agreed and someone came to change it. This is also the only place we have ever stayed that did not have any soap in the shower or sink, never mind shampoo. Those last items were annoyances but didn’t impact our stay.
Chris, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Beautiful room once I got in but very hard to get in the building. I arrived to Porto a few hours early via train and wanted to see if I could leave my bags with the property prior to check in. Unfortunately they don't send checkin information prior to checkin time, at least in my case. I was able to find another number to talk to someone on Whatsapp but I found the face to face interaction rather rude after dragging my luggage and myself uphill. My stay there once I got past checkin was fine and close to much of what downtown has to offer. I never had to get on a bus, however I did get a Bolt ride to the airport. My advice to this property is to double-down on its communication with its guests prior to arrival. Let folks know what to expect at least 6 hours before they are expected to arrive, especially if they want to operate without a front desk associate. It will make a world of difference for your business in happy returning guests.

사진에서 봤던것보다 훨씬 멋진 룸 상태였고 위치 최고입니다! 다만 프론트가 없어 도움받을 사람 없있고 한국서는 잘 안쓰는 whatsapp으로 출입 방법 안내 문자 보내 준다는데 저는 받질못해 처음 체크인할때 상당히 힘들었습니다
