Hotel Aliados boasts a fantastic location right in the heart of Porto, making it easy to explore the city. The staff were genuinely friendly, adding warmth to my stay. though the noise from the street was quite noticeable at night. While the rooms offered a clean and pleasant atmosphere, they did feel a bit dated. Overall, it's a charming option if you're looking for something centrally located at a reasonable price.
