Simple, cheap and pleasant. Very friendly staff. Unfortunately as others have said, being right in the centre of the Porto party scene it is not a place for light sleepers. Even had what can only be described as a lawn mower convention outside at 5am. Other than that, if you're out most of the night - and in Porto they... More

this is a very nice pension, simple, complete, clean, with nice small rooms for a very good price. The breakfast is 3 pieces of bread, coffee and juice, just what you need to get you started in the morning. Unfortunately it is in the middle of the party scene in Porto and the noise from the street is very loud... More

The Pensao Cristal is a lovely little family run hotel, right in the heart of Porto, near to Sao Bento train station and all the major tourist spots. The rooms are clean and functional and the hotel serves a pleasant breakfast from 8am. Ana, the hotel owner is a really lovely and kind woman, who is always cheerful and happy... More

First, as the other reviews have mentioned, the restaurant/bar downstairs is very noisy until as late as 4:30 to 5:00 in the morning. Also, the rooms are tiny. They make similarly priced Tokyo hotel rooms seem large by comparison. The staff, however, is friendly and helpful enough, and the location is good for seeing the various parts of town. For... More

The hotel is quite nice -- the rooms are standard size and clean, the beds are comfortable. The breakfast is just what you can expect from an average hotel. The location is also very central. However, the place is situated on the loudest street in Porto. I would recommend it just for people who want to party hard and enjoy... More

the hotel is situated above a winebar, and they had extremely load music every (weekend) night. We did not sleep at all during the two nights. The hotel management did not help at all. They blamed the neighbour and told us to complain in the bar next door. Rooms and breakfast were poor to average. Apart from the location, I... More

What a charming place. Loved my room. It was fairly spacious, as was the bathroom, and the decor was lovely. The staff were very helpful. The only criticism I have is regarding the fact that each time you leave the hotel you must leave your room key at the reception desk and then collect it again when you return. Because... More
