B The Guest Downtown
Rua Formosa 331, União de Freguesias do Centro, 4000-252 Porto, Portugal – Excellent location – show map – Subway Access
There is nothing about this small boutique hotel that we did not love! What a surprise to find this place which had such quirky decor, a lovely living room to relax in, and extremely helpful staff/owners who really seem to care about the place. Choose the breakfast - a wonderful array of pastries, yogurt, cheese, eggs, cereal and fruit. The location is perfect. You are right across the street from the large outdoor market. We ate dinner there many times, and next door there is an amazing bakery. Our room was HUGE! Everyone was so nice, I especially want to thank Soraea who always had a smile on her face. They go the extra mile here. We were even packed a "to-go" bag for our very early morning flight when we checked out.
Located in the center of Porto, facing the Bolhão Market, B The Guest Downtown offers air-conditioned rooms with modern style décor and free WiFi in all areas. The 10 comfortable rooms offer views to the street or to the city rooftops and each includes flat-screen cable TV, a seating area, a desk and a mini-bar. Each has a private bathroom featuring free toiletries, a shower and a hairdryer. B The Guest Downtown has its own bar and snack bar. The breakfast can be served in the room or if guests prefer they can enjoy a breakfast buffet. A great variety of restaurants are available within 328 feet and at night guests can visit the bars 1640 feet away. Guests have a great amount of facilities and services at their disposal. Dry cleaning, laundry, ironing and grocery delivery can be done for a surcharge. B The Guest provides daily maid service, room service and safety deposit box in all rooms.

- MMariaUnited States of America“The room and bathroom were beautiful and the air conditioning worked well. Hotel's location across from the market was a plus. The staff went above and beyond for us. The young lady preparing the rooms let us leave our bags so we could explore...”
