host is very friendly,clean room and nice breakfast
Large room which was very clean and functional. Bathroom modern, great shower.
Breakfast room was a little bit small
- One of the cheapest options I found for this location- No one bothered us at all during the entire staying, it felt like we were alone in the house all night- Host was super nice to us (even while having a bit of a language barrier)- Everything was nice and clean (room, shared bathroom, kitchen, even the smoking area) (and had pretty decorations :P)- We got the keys to our room, apartment door and building door, and so we were able to get in and out of the house at will- In the closet there was also a heater and a fan (the 1st came in handy during the night)- Host made us a beautiful breakfast (even when we weren't that hungry and just had some coffee haha)
- The beds were a little noisy (still comfortable to sleep in, just made some noise if we moved around a bit)- I could only stay for one night :(
The hostel is in good location, the view from the window was great, the service was amazing.
I couldn't ask for a better stay. Great location and clean rooms. The owner was polite and professional. He gave me information and advice and asked me to treat his hotel like my home. I enjoyed being there and talking to him. I recommend it to my closest friends.
I can't think of anything.
Good location near tram stop and good supermarket across the road. Local cafes and restaurants very good value.The host was lovely and prepared nice breakfast every day. Loved chatting to different travellers at breakfast time.
Black mould around shower tray fairly bad. We stayed nine nights and room wasn’t cleaned or bin emptied once.We paid for private bathroom but on last two nights someone else was using it too!!
We loved the free breakfast and the attention to detail put into this. The room was big, bed was comfortable, cupboard space for belongings, jug for water, double windows with shutters helped block out traffic noise. The kitchen had everything needed for preparing own meals and the common area and balcony was such a nicely furnished and comfortable space. The owner of this property was so so lovely, so attentive and welcoming. He greeted you always with a smile and wanted to ensure we were the most comfortable. The parking underneath the building provided a stress free solution to keep our hire car whilst we explored the city - a short metro ride or about 15 minutes walk.
Nothing! All was wonderful
The area was super close to the city center. Many times we would simply walk down. The breakfast was simple but very much enough. The room was comfortable and quiet. The host, Sanjay, was really very nice. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Porto.
It was my 4th time at Origami, but this time I booked "Deluxe" room and it was a great choice! The room was very spacious, as well as the bathroom inside the room. It also had a balcony which was my favourite part of the room ? Great location, clean, comfortable, good breakfast, very nice host ? I'll be back!
Nothing, all fine.
Good location and clean room. The host is very nice and helpful. I highly recommend this place.
Very friendly and accommodating host, a bit outside the busy party areas which allowed for a really quiet sleep. Right next to the metro line (but couldn't hear it from the room). Really good breakfast provided. Excellent communication from the host. The bed was really comfy and the facility was clean. I felt really comfortable with my stay here.
No A/C (But provided a really good fan which worked really well). Recommend the room with the attached bathroom.
Really friendly host, lovely breakfast every morning, great location, comfortable bed, public transport right outside, supermarket across the street, 10/10
Nothing, amazing stay!
Host is the best :)Breakfast is really good, the room is big and the location is perfect. Everything is close!
Best location, quality of the apartment, cleanliness and hospitality
The place is clean, nice and has the same positive energy as the owner. Breakfast was good and tasty. We even could leave our luggage there and park longer the car in the underground garage, which was very kind. And all origami are original and hand-made.
Just a bit noise from evening and night trams/metro. And Ii would recommend to invest in airconditioning.
Everything was good. A few days ago we had another room at this Residence where we had to walk across the hall to get to the bathroom. In this room we had the bathroom right next to us.
