Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Zero Box Lodge Porto from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
At Zero Box Lodge Porto, guests frequently praise the hotel's unique concept and convenient location, a short walk from main attractions and close to Aliados and Bolhao metro stations. The rooms, designed as minimalist wooden boxes, feature comfortable beds and surprisingly spacious bathrooms with industrial touches, and some even include a window. The rooftop terrace with small pools and the downstairs lounge with a cocktail bar are popular spots, though some guests have noted the lack of wardrobe space in the rooms. Many appreciate the excellent value for money.

Cozy Box Experience

friendly staffcomplimentary beercentral locationdirty duvet
The staff were friendly and always ready to help. I liked the free beer on arrival. It was a nice touch. The location is central, ideal for exploring. The breakfast had eggs cooked to order and a coffee machine. It did a good job.
I noticed marks on the duvet cover, and the floor was not clean. The shower needed a good scrub. Mold was in the corners.

Javiera gave detailed explanations about the hotel and city attractions. Her suggestions enhanced my experience a lot. The beds were comfortable, and the shower was roomy! The rooftop deck provided a nice space. The location offered convenient access to many places on foot.
The sound passed easily, so I could hear hallway noise.
