Porto hotellia

Plussat: Virtually everything was excellent, from the staff, to the design of the hotel and rooms, to the beds and fixtures, air conditioning, etc. One of the best hotel experiences we have had. We will definitely return if in Porto.

Miinukset: The shower leaked all over the bathroom when used, because of a faulty seal. This was the only issue.

Plussat: Interesting architectural statement. Everyone working there was terrific.

Miinukset: Could have been closer to sightseeing areas on the one hand, but much less noisy on the other hand.

Plussat: Nice breakfast, friendly, helpful staff

Miinukset: A little far from the river and restaurants but a nice neighborhood that was away from tourists. Only 15 minute walk to the center of the old town.

Plussat: Erittäin ystävällinen henkilökunta ja todella moderni (askeettinen) betonista tehty hotelli, jossa yksityikohtia sai ihailla. Aamiainen oli suppea, mutta laadukas. Aamiaiseen sisältyi mm. croissanteja, kakkuja, leipää, kinkkua ja juustoa sekä tuoreita hedelmiä. Henkilökunta tulee myös joka aamu kysymään haluaako asiakas munia ja missä muodossa. Hotellissa on kaiketi vain kuusi huonetta, joten aamiaisen "suppeuden" ymmärtää.

Miinukset: Jos arvostat kanssakumppanisi kanssa rauhaa WC-tilossa, tätä hotellia ei voi suositella. WC-tiloista kuuluu pieninkin ääni läpi huoneeseen, sillä se on erillisen betonirakenteen sisällä huoneessa. Lisäksi hotellin ilmanala tuntui hieman kostealta, joskin se ei ole ihme, sillä onhan Porto yksi kosteimmista kaupungeista Eurooopassa.

Plussat: We had an amazing stay here in September 2019. Porto is a wonderful location to visit and this hotel was fantastic. Highly recommend and would easily stay again. The breakfasts and decor are wonderful! Superb stay!

Plussat: Innovative design and tasteful furnishings; quiet location but within walking distance to historical centre; friendly and helpful staff.

Plussat: Great breakfast and staff.

Miinukset: Everything was great.

Plussat: Very nice place, very clean

Miinukset: Very nice place, very clean

Miinukset: There was no heating in the room, so it was really cold staying there. Wouldn't recommend this place during winter season.

Plussat: The biggest hostel rooms I’ve ever seen! So much space! And a really pretty building.

Miinukset: Well, the breakfast itself was very good. The food and availability, no issues. But they have the two creepiest “attendants/staff” working there doing the breakfast. It really is the most awkward setting... these attendants watch your every single move, like hawks. You take one slice of ham, they go out the back and return with a slice of ham to replace. You move a cup one cm, they move it back... the whole room is on edge, and lives in fear of touching or moving anything. And then when you try to do your dishes, they watch you and give instructions on how to do it. Very very strange, and it wasn’t just me... the room full of eye rolls will tell you the whole room was freaked out by these attendants. We just wanted to tell them, relax and sit down!!! If something is empty, we will tell you! So glad I only had to go through this experience twice. Otherwise, if you can handle the breakfast scene, very good hostel!

Plussat: Great breakfast!

Plussat: Henkilökunta oli iloista ja auttavaista, paikka oli siisti ja tunnelma rento. Kodikkaat yhteiset tilat ja kiva takapiha.

Miinukset: Kylppärissä olisi voinut lattiapyyhkeitä, toinen suihku oli risainen. Aamiaiselle kaipaisi proteiinia ja kuitua.

Plussat: Breakfast was great.

Plussat: Rather a good continental breakfast, girls who work for the hostel.

Miinukset: I have been paid 2 euros, so-called 'city tax', additionally for each day of my stay. If so, it has been notified about that in the site, hasn't it? Info in the hostel's page says that All taxes are included though.

Plussat: This is my third visit to this hotel and it is consistently excellent! The rooms are spacious with very comfortable bed. The breakfast is very good and sets you up perfectly for a day of sightseeing. The location is very good - in the same building as the Mercado Bom Sucesso and with good transport links, or a short cab, to the main sights.

Miinukset: It was cold in the room (and everywhere really). Could not control the temperature in the room. Asked reception to raise the temperature the first night, which kind of worked... second night we froze again...

Plussat: The market was connected to the building and the hotel is very centrally located

Miinukset: I didn’t like the design of the room . I didn’t like that the bathroom was an open space with virtually no privacy. I didn’t like the attitude of the staff. They smiled and seemed to be friendly but they were stand-offish and said no automatically to my few requests. I also thought the breakfast was lacking variety. Most of the days there was canned fruit and not fresh fruit. Even the oranges pears and tangerines were not fresh.

Plussat: Close to the Synagogue, great service, optional kosher meals, staff very helpfull!

Plussat: Very nice staff Room size good new and modern

Miinukset: Heat did not work one night Shower door hard to open Breakfast only fair Coffee poor

Plussat: Kosher certificate. Kosher bread.

Miinukset: Small room with no coffee / tea making facilities

Plussat: Nice and stylish hotel with direct access to a market with delicious food. Supermarket and other commodities nearby. Interior felt high quality and upmarket. Roomdesign with emphasize on the music theme. All in all a pleasant and modern hotel. Staff friendly and helpful. Parking possible at the hotel or in a carpark nearby.

Miinukset: Hotel is a long and steep walk away from the hotspots of the city. Flooding the bathroom really cant be avoided while having a shower. Despite asking for a parking space in the hotels garage before arrival only a space in the carpark nearby was available.

Plussat: Good location. Nice Patisseries nearby. Close to Metro and taxi rank.

Miinukset: No tea/coffee in room, Shower gel sachets too small in content. Chair on balcony was dirty.

Plussat: Value for money, good location, friendly staff

Plussat: Meille hyvä sijainti. Perus aamiainen, ihan ok. Erikoisruokavalio hoidettiin itse.

Miinukset: Siisteydessä parantamisen varaa. Kokolattiamatossa näkyi vöhän liikaa kaikkea.

Plussat: It was near to bus/metro station. Our room was clean. Near to some economic cafeterias.

Plussat: The room and its furniture is clean and respectable, the bathroom is on the excellent side, there is a reception desk clerk, elevator, cleaners every day, fresh towels, TV, and so on. It works for me as essentially a business/tourist hotel to come back to after being out and about all day, and it meets the standards for that sort of thing on the dot. The best thing is the area, which has a faux-market in the casa do musica where it is cheering to eat in the evening. There is also a boutique mall in one of the upmarket buildings nearby with a cheap and nice starbucks! I got coffee at 85c the cup in a bookshop upstairs in another mall building. The area by the big roundabout up the street has more authentic places to eat and shop. I found a Spar supermarket by the casa do musica metro off there. An airport bus stop (601, 2E) is just opposite the hotel, and there's a metro station on another street off the big roundabout. One can walk straight down to the port, about a mile (you need to be in good shape to walk back up that hill).

Miinukset: It's a business-style or american motel-style (ex room size, which is more japanese than american!) hotel. I found it really dispiriting for such a clean place. The building is 60s rapid-build low-quality appartment block and rooms are square boxes, about 10ft by 10ft, with a good double bed and bedside table plus tiny work table, with a balcony. There must be a couple of hundred basically identical rooms. Perhaps that was a student residence before being turned into a hotel. I thought the balcony would be nice but it is dirty because it is dusty in the area and there is nothing to look at out there and it is too small to contemplate sitting out on for real. It helps make the room slightly less small, though! (if one can get the balcony door open - I had a lot of trouble). There is no character at all in the place, but one can stand it for a time. The sheets are clean (I had suspicions about the shiny blue coverlet and dumped that). There's no lounge that I saw but maybe the first floor (where breakfast happens, which I did not go to) has something. They wouldn't let me check in until 2pm although I arrived at 12.30, and there was nowhere I could see to sit and wait so I wandered the streets for an hour and a half before I could check in, having arrived by taxi! The clerk did eventually get me a room high up for quiet as I asked, but only after having said when I arrived that it was all reserved and nothing could be done. This place is on the upper town and it is very, very hard work to come back up the mile up the hill from the port on foot, as I did. It looks close on the map, but the hills don't show. I'd probably try for a hotel out of town if I had to do this again, and come in by metro.

Plussat: We stayed here for three nights and really enjoyed our stay, everything was great!
