Very good and affordable accommodation for those who want to explore Porto. For the price, don't expect anything luxurious, but it's very convenient for one or two nights.

Pleasant stay in Porto
Cozy and comfortable structure, located in a strategic area in front of the Rectorate of the University of Porto, the Pensão França was really a very pleasant surprise. The friendly and helpful staff, a very high level of cleanliness, the comfort of the beds and the functionality of the bathroom made our stay truly unforgettable. The WI-FI signal is also excellent. A wide selection of restaurants in the area. Really recommendable

I was bitten by bed bugs. When it was brought to the staff's attention, my room was immediately changed. However, l was bitten on my foot in that room too. I did not report that, for I was checking out the next morning. I believe they're aware of the u.

What was good:
Very central, everything worked well, nice view on the square, clean.
What was bad:
very loud outside, old furnishing and rooms.
All in all a good place to stay if you can sleep in a noisy environment.

The place is older, somewhat tired, and the shower is shared amongst the guests (which is an issue for some). Good location and price. Wifi was good. Must walk up a flight of stairs to get to the hotel.

You get what you pay for. Rough and ready but hot water, clean sheets and easy walking access to the wonderful city. Not suitable for wheelchair users or people with mobility issues. Not much English but welcoming. Squeaky beds so not the best for a honeymoon 😂😜

Excellent value, great location.
Great value choice. Room was bigger that expected with a full size wardrobe and small desk/stool. We had a private bathroom which included a bidet and shower. Plenty of hot water & good pressure. No hairdryer in the room but we were supplied one on request. Marina at the desk was perfectly pleasant. Amazing location, slightly noisy as we were facing the street but we always bring earplugs anyway!
