All was great, lovely welcome when checking in. 1 mix up with a girl who wouldn’t let us get breakfast at 7.45 when we had arranged with the lady the day before as we were going on a trip. But lovely stay.

The place is not close to the main areas, but it’s not bad with an Uber ride. There is no sign, but easily recognized due to it’s red brick exterior. Staff were AMAZING and helpful and the area out back was nice to sit in with a glass of local wine. The basic room is VERY small with no chairs. The bathroom is beautiful, but the shower is not functional due to its small size. You literally can’t wash yourself without opening the glass door. I understand that we paid for a basic room, but with the price, I would have expected something bigger. There is also no coffee pot or water in the room. The room has a small fridge that has water and a few drinks for 2 euros each. Overall, it’s a beautiful property and the staff are an asset.

This property didn’t disappoint. Staff were so friendly and helpful in recommending places to eat. Room was quite basic but functional and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was fantastic. Freshly baked rolls and croissants and freshly squeezed orange juice. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who were always available to help in any way they could. The property is excellently located. Lots of steps in the property with no lift option so wouldn’t be good for less mobile travellers. A welcome drink of locally produced port was a nice touch too. I would definitely recommend this guest house for anybody visiting Porto. We loved our stay there.

Porto City Break
Excellent location in the centre of the old district. Very good breakfast. Room was clean and as is typical of houses in the area has steep stairs to all rooms so if an issue it’s best to request a lower room but not a problem for us. Highly recommended.

I just wanted to say thank you for a wonderful stay at the Cale Guest House, from the very beginning to the end of our stay could not have been better. Vania and Diogo were the most pleasant people to have greeted us, set up a first class breakfast with a high quality fresh squeezed OJ, mini egg tarts famous in Portugal, among other things, along with a comfortable bed with room cleaning every day. I must say that my planning with two other cities involved in our trip I was most concerned about this stay, without hesitation I would highly recommend this place as a wonderful place to call home. If you can walk the hills of Porto you don't have to worry about a few stairs to work off the extensive restaurants selection in the neighborhood Cheers from Dan and Colleen, Langley, BC. Canada

Mixed feelings…
The front desk clerks were absolutely wonderful in giving assistance with directions, things to see, and a taxi when I needed it. The rooms are a little daunting to get up to (after walking Porto all day) when you are on the 3rd and 4th floors. Breakfast was terrific! The service was excellent and they even have a little to offer for spirits. The only upset I have is that I picked my tablet and all of my chargers inside the hood of my pack. I was getting ready for the Camino and wanted them secure in case the weather changed. Needless to say I left it in the room. I called twice and was told they were no where to be found. I wouldn’t leave a bad review for such service if I didn’t know they were either taken or mistakenly tossed out. I’ve never gotten a call back about it. It’s been 3 days. The cleaning ladies also moved my pack at one point and broke one of the clasps without saying a word. Beware the cleaning people and what you leave while out and about!
