Porto Majatalot

Plussat: Location was very good, fantastic views and well designed refurbishment of an old typical Porto house.

Miinukset: There was not much sound insulation between floors, so people above could be heard, every footstep and movement.

Plussat: Location & restaurant. Room was clean and spacious

Miinukset: Floors creaked and thumped from upstairs patrons

Plussat: Excellent location , excellent breakfast, friendly staff.

Miinukset: It is rather noisy in the front rooms until midnight.

Plussat: Such a charming home away from home.

Plussat: Perfect

Miinukset: noting

Plussat: Located right on Ribeira, the apartment offered comfort and location. We would stay here again.

Miinukset: As an old building, there is a bit of a musty smell, but not too bad.

Plussat: Location, breakfast, outdoor dining area looking over river

Miinukset: Nothing at all, it’s all good

Plussat: Exceptional staff and location absolutely a perfect stay!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The property was great. Spacious apartment with high ceilings and a breathtaking view of the Douro river. The air conditioning worked great and so did the WiFi. The staff were friendly. The mornings are quite peaceful and beautiful to stroll around and very easy to get to the other side of the river where all the Port Cellars are. Check in and check out were quite easy. We stayed in an apartment next door to the main check-in building which made the stay feel more private. We also got two free glasses of port at their accompanying restaurant.

Miinukset: The location is directly in the most touristy part of the city and can be quite noisy at night. The building where we stayed had no lift and our apartment was on the third floor.

Plussat: Great location, direct on the waterfront, great views up and down the river. Right in the middle of the action! Friendly and helpful staff, delicious breakfast, fresh, healthy Portugese kitchen.

Miinukset: Can't think of anything.

Plussat: The hotel is in a very old and beautiful building. It is right on the river and the views from the rooms are incredible. When you check in, you get a voucher for a free port at the restaurant. The hotel is very tastefully decorated.

Miinukset: Because it is an old building, it can be very loud. We were able to hear other guests moving around and talking in their rooms. There was a family with children staying above us and they were very loud in the mornings.

Plussat: Kiva ja siisti huone. Aamiainen oli riittävä.

Miinukset: Aamulla ei löytynyt kielitaitoista henkilökuntaa. Sain kuitenkin lopulta asiani hoidettua.

Plussat: An absolute treasure of an hotel. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was excellent and an excellent seafood restaurant just 5 minutes walk away. The hotel also has a beautiful garden. It was my daughter in law, her friend and my two beautiful granddaughters first night of their holiday with me in Portugal. A fabulous start of their holiday. Thank you Pedra Iberica

Miinukset: It took us a while to find the hotel. We walked up and down the street several times! There is a tiny sign on a big green door. Perhaps a bigger sign?

Plussat: Staff were friendly. Only a 20 minute walk to city centre

Miinukset: Rightly or wrongly I thought there was a hotel car park when I booked. But there is a public car park nearby where you can park for €7

Plussat: Nice interiors, garden and personal care from the staff.

Plussat: Breakfast was excellent.

Plussat: Very good breakfast. Very good orange juice. Nice interior and garden. Only 15 min. nice walk to city center.

Plussat: The rooms are spacious a nice garden to the rear.parking available just a few yards from hotel underground and secure. The breakfast was really first class with everything you need would definitely recommend this hotel for a city break.the staff really friendly and speak excellent English.

Miinukset: Perhaps a little closer to the river would have been nice

Plussat: Breakfast was rich. Plenty of space on hotel territory. Territory is nice and green. Room is comfortable and well-decorated. 2km to city center. Staff is very helpful. Thanks for nice vacation!

Plussat: Spacious room. Nice staff. Inside the building is nice and up to standard. Typical Portuguese, city style house. Good value for the breakfast.

Miinukset: Shower was either hot or cold. So that makes showering a morning exercise. Shower room is average. Some mattresses poor. Bad for your back after a day walking around town. Keep in mind it's somewhat out of the city centre. Neighbourhood not appealing. Breakfast is extra, but you notice that only when you read the 'small print'.

Plussat: Hienoja yksityiskohtia sisätiloissa. Lämmin. Hyvä aamupala.

Miinukset: Suht kaukana keskustasta. Sää kauhea en suosittele maaliskuuta.

Plussat: Very friendly staff, beautiful garden, breakfast with good choice, silent and clean room, 10 minutes walking from center

Miinukset: Room forniture a bit old

Plussat: The kitchen and facilities were awesome with close proximity to everything one needs for a short stay in Porto. Walking distance to the highlights and very welcoming staff. Thanks for a great 3 night stay.

Miinukset: No air conditioning but the portable fan worked just fine.

Plussat: Everything else was really good for a 2 star hotel, and worth the price totally. Recommended for the friendly and knowledgeable staff too

Miinukset: The difficulty taxi drivers had in finding the location, for unclear reasons!

Plussat: The location is perfect.

Plussat: The location is really convenient, it’s right next to the train station, there is 2 ways one little bit longer along the street and one is a short cut through the graffiti ( it takes 5-7min walking ). At the beginning we couldn’t find the location because it’s hard to identify the entrance of the hotel, is a very very small faded plate with the name of the hotel. But opposite is a dental clinic for orientation . The room was big enough, clean, they cleaned every day and changed the towels, and they had a hot water in the showy, WiFi was catching in some part of the room only ( in the toilet lol and then next to the door) . Very friendly staff, we couldn’t store our language on the last day of our stay and walk more around the city and pick it up later in the evening, reception is 24 hours working.

Miinukset: There is nothing to add here , I liked my stay in Porto!

Plussat: Siisti ja tilava huone. Yhteiskäytössä on pieni keittiö, jossa voi lämmittää ruokaa mikrossa tai vettä vedenkeittimessä.

Miinukset: Huoneessa ei ollut siivousta koko aikana. Henkilökuntaa ei juuri näkynyt, sama henkilö hoiti respaa ja siivosi.

Plussat: Only one night, but lovely staff and very very good location to enjoy the very centre of Porto. Very good value for money as well!

Miinukset: Bed could've been bigger but that's nothing too bad really!

Miinukset: Wi-fi signal was very weak. The personel on the reception was very kind but their english was very basic.

Plussat: very friendly personel :) perfect location

Plussat: Very helpfull persone. Rooms cleaned every single day. Silent in the night. Close ... everywhere in Porto

Plussat: Very clean and nice room and very frendly hotel staff.

Miinukset: Hotel designation.

Plussat: Location was great! Everything was in walking distance. Room was small but cosy. Stuff was very nice

Plussat: Sijainti oli keskustassa.

Miinukset: Viikonloppuna ulkoa kuului kova meteli kun ikkunoissa ei ollut minkäänlaisia äänieristeitä

Plussat: location good couldn't get to have breakfast as room was so small there wasn't enough room for everybody

Miinukset: the rooms were very small no facilities in bathroom to put things nor place to hang towels the breakfast room was so small that we couldn't get in to have breakfast on our last day at 09 40 we were told that breakfast had finished at 09 30 but when we checked in we were told breakfast finished at 09 45

Plussat: Great location with shops and restaurants in walking distance

Miinukset: Rooms uncomfortably small. Matreses are worn out. Breakfast room completely in adequite to host all the hotel guests.

Plussat: N/A

Miinukset: Too small to be a family room.

Plussat: Location and quietness Breakfast

Miinukset: Small room and a step up to the shower. Toilet squeezed in

Plussat: The owner and the rest of the staff is amazing, really welcoming. The hotel was spotless, clean and tidy. Really well located, only few minutes walk for the UNESCO sites and the river. I highly recommend this place!

Miinukset: The room was a bit small, no table in it only one chair.

Plussat: Staff very helpful. Very clean! Super location!

Miinukset: Room smaller than advertised.

Plussat: Great location, very clean, daily room service, very helpful staff (didn't speak much English though)

Miinukset: Pillows were very extremely uncomfortable, room pretty small but okay, our room didn't have any storage for clothes except for a very small corner wardrobe.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: The size of the room - toilet. Breakfast

Plussat: The location was amazing, especially for the price. Some free port on arrival and the staff were very helpful.

Miinukset: The room was quite small but it wasn't a big deal. Noise from the street at the weekends might affect your sleep.

Plussat: The family rooms were really small, but very clean, cleaned daily. There was surprisingly good breakfast provided, the room was a bit tiny, but we were outside all the time anyway. Great location near Sao Bento train/metro station. We loved the complimentary fruit and wine.

Plussat: Clean, friendly staff, I was able to storage my luggage

Miinukset: Toilet cramped with the sink. Terrible neigbourhood (ladies of the night downstairs)

Plussat: Really clean toilet and had our own shower and sink even though we didnt pay for an en suite which was really nice. Very comfy bed with lots of storage and great wifi. Really nice and helpful staff. Good check out times and great location close to the city centre and many shops including lidl.

Miinukset: We were told we were allowed to use the kitchen facilities but then were told we could not due to a previous customer doing something so it was a little confusing. We did find a plaster stuck to our duvet but it looked as if it had been through a washing machine.

Plussat: Reasonable size room, very clean. Staffed front desk. Good location between the train station and the historical centre.

Miinukset: Bathroom a little tight

Plussat: Nice location not far from the metro and city centre

Miinukset: The guesthouse is old and needs some renovation. Small rooms

Plussat: Clean room, clean bed that's all I needed and it was all I wanted.

Plussat: Great value for money. Big clean room close to the Metro.

Plussat: Good location, great spot if you plan on adventuring out on buses from the campo 24.

Miinukset: Only from personal experience with the room i was in, there was little air ventilation so there was an oder as it was so stuffy.

Plussat: Very kind staff willing/ready to help - that's the most important thing! Clean rooms! Excellent location close to bus terminal. A quiet neighborhood over the night.

Miinukset: It would be better if the water pressure in tap is higher-the water is slowly leaking from the tap. It would be good if the rooms were a little bigger for family (parents and 2 childs-total 4 pearsons)

Plussat: Not so much. Beds and mattresses were fine.

Miinukset: Fire alarm switched on for 10 minutes during night, noise of keys and doors until I put my earplugs...

Plussat: Good location for value

Miinukset: The bed

Plussat: The location was great - close to the centre of Porto. Good thing was elevator in the building. The staff was quite nice and friendly. Quite nice working internet.

Miinukset: The room should be cleaned and renovated thoroughly! The bed clothing should be washed better - the bedspreads was stained and dirty, there was also a lot of hair on the sheets and pillows. There was only one working light in the room, the second bulb was broken and flashing. Even cockroaches didn't live in those conditions - we found dead one under one bed :) At least bathroom was quite clean - except of the filthy shower curtain.

Plussat: location is good, near city centre

Miinukset: many insects

Plussat: Sijainti hyvä , näkymä ikkunasta kiva

Miinukset: Kylpyhuone epäkäytännöllinen

Miinukset: Room had no window and had poor ventilation

Plussat: The staff was friendly and we stayed in a room that had what we paid for.

Miinukset: We were on the same floor as the reception desk (1st floor?) & I'm sure it would have been better if we were on a higher floor. The room was very hot, the window opened onto a hallway and not outside, and the facilities need updating.

Plussat: My husband and myself did not like anything at all about this residential. The owner did not engage in any conversation, was unpleasant and unhelpful and was only interested in counting the money that he asked for upfront upon arrival.

Miinukset: We now realize the reason the owner asks for payment immediately upon arrival does this is because if he didn't get the money upfront, no- one would pay to stay there - they would take one look inside the rooms and turn around and go elsewhere. Its depressing, dated, and badly maintained. There were some kind of bugs in the bed which bit us - maybe fleas? The wardrobe absolutely stank - really unclean. The bedclothes felt unclean as well as having little mites on the sheets. The owner is so mean, he disconnects lights all around the place making it even more depressing. We had to ask for light bulbs for our room as it was too dark to see. There should be 2 candlelight bulbs over each bed - we were informed that they only provide 1 over each bed unless asked for. The lift was switched off each night and the lights near the lift. It was so dark and dismal! The so called terrace which we paid extra for, was like a prison - absolutely no charm whatsoever. The owner and staff provided no conversation, no rapport whatsoever. We were made to feel unwelcome. Maybe they were astounded that they actually had a guest staying at their bleak residencial. Top tip = sell up - move on and retire. Sell it to someone who cares about having guests and is proud of their establishment instead of made to feel unwelcome and a nuisance. This is the worst hotel that my husband and I have ever stayed in. Appalling. We are still scratching now. Steer clear of this awful place - that's our advice.

Plussat: The staff were really nice, perhaps the only good thing about the place.

Miinukset: You could hear almost everything the neighbours were doing; snoring, tv, etc. The lights went out in the morning and we had to do everything in the dark. The pictures look a lot nicer than the room we were in, it didn't even have windows.

Plussat: Location perfect to go around. In 10 minutes you can reach ribeira , some minutes more and you cross the bridge either. You reach the center in very few minutes. The staff was kind. Check in and out was ok.

Miinukset: The bathroom was too small. The cleaning was ok but not so perfect. Our window was on the street so too much noise.

Miinukset: It was cramped, very old fashioned , extremely noisy and ran out of hot water every morning

Plussat: there was no breakfast

Plussat: Location was good.

Miinukset: There were stains in my sheets and in the inside of the closet.
