El Hotel espectacular, el trato del personal del Hotel de 10 porque no puedo poner 20, el desayuno fantástico Nos ha encantado oporto y sus alrededores,en especial Grimaraes y Aveiro , Destacar el trato de Sergi personal del restaurante que nos atendió de maravilla .
Todo genial pero por poner un pero debería haber mas luz en la habitación, y el precio del restaurante del hotel un poco más económico Ya que pagamos 16 euros por dos portos y en el centro de oporto nos costó la mitad

3.9 Sara Travelled with couple December 2025
El hotel deja mucho que desear. Para empezar, nos guardaron las maletas en un pasillo de paso al que cualquiera tenía acceso, es más, a la salida nos dieron una camisa que estaban guardando y ni siquiera era nuestra. El check-in fue caótico, tuvimos que esperar casi una hora de cola para poder registrarnos. Al entrar en la habitación nos encontramos con un frío exagerado; la calefacción apenas funcionaba y la habitación tardó casi un día entero en entrar en calor, haciendo muy incómoda la estancia, sobre todo en invierno. Además estaba en una zona de paso y muy mal aislada, por lo que se oían voces y ruidos constantemente. Añadir también que, a pesar de dejar el cartel de “hacer la habitación”, no nos la arreglaron hasta que fuimos a quejarnos expresamente a recepción. El spa incluido también fue muy decepcionante. En realidad se reduce a una simple piscina interior, ya que el jacuzzi no funcionó durante los cuatro días de nuestra estancia, sin que se ofreciera ninguna alternativa ni compensación.

las habitaciones son realmente pequeñas, el armario minusculo y el baño además de pequeño tiene una distribución pésima, si te sientas en el inodoro te das con el lavabo y con la ducha. en cuanto al "spa", es una piscina interior. no está mal, pero te hace esperar otra cosa.

3.4 Tulia Travelled with couple October 2025 Translation: "From the kindness of the people of Porto"
De la amabilidad de la gente de Oporto
The attic room had electric blinds to avoid being seen from the street, which were not working. As there was no maintenance staff available, I had to fix them myself by climbing a ladder over 3 metres high to prevent light from entering and to avoid people's looks. However, it rained for three days, and water and cold air came through these windows. The room was very cold, and the air conditioning did not provide hot air. On the first day, we had to shower with hand soap because there was no shower gel or shampoo. This is the second time we have stayed at this hotel. The first time, the room was not good either but better than this one. I don't know if it's because guests coming from dealmetro are given worse conditions and rooms. We came back because the staff was lovely, but only Victor, the hotel's director, was left, and he was only there on the day we left. He told us that we should have requested a room change because this one was one of the worst in the hotel and needed changes. In short, we were cold, which resulted in both my partner and I catching colds. I had to act as a maintenance technician, risking falls while on a ladder. The staff was not up to par for a 4-star hotel, and they were not helpful. The room was very poor quality. AN EXPERIENCE IN THIS HOTEL TO FORGET.
La habitacion tipo buhardilla , contaba con unos estores electricos para no ser vistos desde la calle, no funcionaban y como no habia personal de mantenimiento, tube que ser yo quien lo arreglara subido a una escalera a mas de 3 metros de altura, para que no entrara la luz y evitar las miradas de la gente, eso si llovio tres dias, el agua y el frio si entraba a traves de estos ventanales, la habitacion era muy fria y el aire acondicionado no funcionaba el aire caliente, el primer dia nos tuvimos que duchar con jabon de manos, porque no habia ni gel de ducha, ni champu, es la segunda vez que nos alojamos en este hotel , la primera vez tampoco la habitacion era buena pero mejor que esta, no se si es porque a los huespedes que vienen de parte de Chollometro les dan peores condiciones y habitaciones, volvimos porque el personal era encantador, de ellos solo queda Victor el director de este hotel que solo estuvo el dia que nos fuimos, que nos dijo que deberiamos haber solicitado el cambio de habitacion, porque esta era de las peores del hotel y debia hacer cambios en ella. En resumen un pasamos frio, como resultado costipados mi pareja y yo, tube que hacer de tecnico de mantenimiento, subido a una escalera con peligro de caida, personal no acorde con un hotel de 4 estrellas, nada resolutivo. habitacion muy mala. LA EXPERIENCIA EN ESTE HOTEL PARA OLVIDAR

9.1 Mireya Travelled with couple October 2025 "I was a bit scared because of some comments I had seen, but it was nothing like what they were saying. The hotel is quite nice and lives up to its 4-star rating. The staff does everything possible to understand you and are very pleasant. They leave you 1 small bottle of water per person every time they clean the room, as well as tea bags. I highly recommend it."
Iba con miedo por algunos comentarios que habia visto pero nada que ver con lo que decían, el hotel está bastante bien y cumple con las 4 estrellas que tiene, el personal hace todo lo posible por entenderte y muy agradables. Te dejan 1 botella de agua pequeña por persona cada vez que te limpian la habitación igual que sobres de té. Lo recomiendo muchísimo.
The location is a bit far considering that there are many hills, which makes it a bit tiring when returning. However, there is a free train that takes you to the center of Porto and can pick you up later, so no problem. The spa is more like a pool with a bubble area, but for the price included, it's fine.
La ubicación esta un poco lejos teniendo en cuenta que hay muchas cuestas se hace un poquito pezado a l hora de volver. Pero hay un tren gratuito que te lleva al centro de Oporto y luego te puede recoger así que sin problema. El spa es más bien una pisicina con una zona de burbujas pero para entrarte en el precio está bien.
