21 February 2012 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: I loved the Morocco feel of the property - sometimes I even forgot I was still in Portugal. That was nice. The reception was manned 24 hours so it was really accessible. Also, it is located pretty close to Santa Katarina and Trinidad so travelling around was not really a problem.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.

Liked: The location...15 mins walk to center. Decoration... wooooooow, loved it and felt like in Morocco. :). Veeery friendly saff and recommend the place hands down.

Disliked: Nothing ...just would recommend to the hostel to make a note about them charging and refunding the balance of your reservation to confirm it's a working credit card.

Liked: We were attracted to the riad theme as a prelude to our travels in Morocco.

Disliked: The "double room" was two single beds, one of which the frame was broken. The beds were on wheels so they kept sliding apart. Bathroom was like a closet, and the shower head was broken. All of these things would not have mattered if we were able to get some sleep. Granted we stayed on a Friday night but if you don't have earplugs, good luck getting some rest next to one of the noisiest and rowdiest night clubs in Porto. We were finally able to close our eyes at 7AM. For the price of 25 euro per traveller, this stung the most and we would definitely not recommend this acommodation. Go to residential solar just down the street on santa Catarina.

Liked: Great breakfast, and you could use the kitchen. Nice wee outside terrace, and the rooms had en suites.

Disliked: It was a bit tricky to get to. We ended up getting a taxi from the bus (7euros), but it was only a 20min walk away from the train station and 10min from the center when you knew where you were going.
