Review summary

Based on recent reviews

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 staff complimentary beer central location

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.
