Cale Guest House

The hostel is located in the wonderful heart of Porto. The Building is really nice as well as the view from the top. The Breakfast is awesome and the staff is amazing. I highly recommend this place !

Cale Guest House is a charming little hotel in a perfect location in Porto. We walked and wandered all day. Porto is just so gorgeous! All the main attractions were within our walk from the hotel. The owners (brother and sister team) have won accolades from local government from their care when renovating this historic building. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the lovely Lara who poured us a little glass of Port and sat with us to go over a map of the area, pointing out the best sites to see. Undoubtedly the warmest welcome we’ve ever received at any hotel. She also insisted on helping to haul our heavy suitcase up the 4 flights of spiral stairs to our room. Our room on the 4th floor, while not luxurious, was perfectly adequate with a comfortable bed, clean linens, and a pretty view over the various terraces which are accessible from the hallways. There is a little tea station in the hallway and, if it hadn’t been raining, we would have sat outside. The spiral staircase has been beautifully restored but I don’t think it would work for those with mobility issues. We’re in our mid-60’s and we were fine with it but it wouldn’t be for everyone. The breakfast, served in the lobby area, was delicious and included miniature Pasteis de Nata among many other things. The homemade yogurt was delicious too. We highly recommend Cale Guest House for a personal experience. Know before you go: As is the case with many historic hotels in Europe, there is no elevator.

The cale guest house exceeded our expectations. The room was big and spacious. Fresh cookies and water left in room everyday. The room was cleaned every morning. The view from our room was so beautiful. The Host was very helpful and kind. The breakfast was full of fresh fruit, pastrys, boiled eggs, granola etc. The location was excellent 5minute walk from the river front. I would definitely stay here again.

My wife and I spent three nights in this property and we highly recommend it. The staff is very friendly and helped us store our tendam bike. The breakfast is delicious, with lots of options. The location is perfect, just a few minutes from restaurants and the water. Rooms are big and clean.
