Almada Guest House Porto is a guesthouse on Rua do Almada, a very short distance from Avenida dos Aliados. All rooms have a private bathroom and reception is staffed day and night. It is a good fit if you will spend the day out and want a practical base in the centre from which to walk everywhere.
Location and getting around
Avenida dos Aliados, with the town hall building, is less than a 5-minute walk away. Livraria Lello and São Bento station are about 5 minutes away, and the Clérigos Tower about 10. To go down to the Ribeira (Praça da Ribeira) allow about 15 minutes on foot. According to the guesthouse, the Rivoli Theatre is about 5 minutes away. If you arrive at Campanhã station, you are about 35 minutes’ walk away: public transport or a taxi is best then. You will find more options in the area on the page for places to stay in Porto.
