Michaela, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our Studio suite was huge and very clean and the location was great within walkable distance to all the museums and attractions and far enough away from the large crowds by the river. There was a nice patio area in front of the hotel with 6 different restaurants to dine at including a lovely bakery. Staff were accommodating and pleasant. Great spot.

4/10 Fair

Four Day Stay, no Wifi or Television for the whole stay. Enquired after check -in as to why i couldn't connect to the Wifi, and was told a repairman was on their way out to fix. Next Day- Nothing!., but was informed the City was having Vodaphone Issues, even though bif you googled Porto outages, all were reporting Good services Following Day- Nothing!! Last Day upon Check Out, a sign miraculously appeared at reception, stating there were Wifi Issues. No care factor whatever. The apartment was spacious, but door handle broken (inside), which I had to ask to be repaired.

Lovely stay

This was a great apartment, good value for money and very central to lots of tourist attractions with plenty choice or cafes, bakerys and bars literally on the door step. Very clean.

Excellent, super clean, big room and close to everything.
Cathy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice!

Nice stay! Very central location. The room for two was extremely big, more like an apartment which was lovely—outfitted with a kitchen and a big bathroom. Very comfortable for anyone travelling to Porto. Only negative was confusion surrounding cleaning, as we were told this would be done automatically without any need to ask for it... which did not happen. Perhaps it should be communicated clearer what the terms for cleaning are, but it's by no means a big negative and would've most assuredly been resolved by staff if we needed it—but for our stay we only really needed a change of towels, which we got when we asked for it.
Nermin, 5-night trip

4/10 Fair

Our room was not cleaned because we did not leave the lavel "please clean this room" hanging in the door. The person at the reception desk was rude when we compleined and told us that it was like that everywhere. I explained that when no label is hanging on the door the cleaner usually rings the bell and if nobody is in the room they enter and clean the door. Nothing changed the man on the reception desk and he shouted to us.
octavio, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very easy to find along the 207 bus route, several places to eat, or get a tasty treat. Close to several places of interest, the room was spacious and well kept.
