About
Down2Town B&B
Down2Town B&B occupies a pretty, historic building on Rua Da Restauracao, a short walk from Porto's riverfront and the maze of narrow streets that make up the old town. With just seven rooms, it feels more like a guesthouse than a hotel — expect a warm welcome, personal attention, and a genuinely homely atmosphere.
The B&B has a sun terrace and a garden area, perfect for lingering over a coffee, and a breakfast spread that guests repeatedly praise for its variety: scrambled eggs, fruit, fresh bread, cereal, and more. Rooms are bright and neat, some with balconies, garden views, or river views, and all come with heating, tea and coffee facilities, and a flat-screen TV.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No on-site parking — The B&B does not list parking, so guests driving into Porto will need to find public parking or use alternative transport.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only possible between 14:00 and 21:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.
- No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so travellers with animals should look elsewhere.
- Small scale means limited facilities — With just seven rooms, there is no fitness centre, pool, or large common areas – the charm is in the intimacy, not extensive amenities.
