The location is a bit far from the downtown area, but it is quiet and safe. The room was clean, the room and bathroom were large enough, and the bed and bedding were all good. The amenities were also Bulgari products, which was nice, and the water pressure and temperature were easy to control. The service was great at check-in, check-out, and breakfast. The young woman who seemed to be the manager and the young bellboy were both friendly. The hotel's swimming pool is divided into indoor and outdoor areas with glass windows, and there is a massage, but the price is not cheap.
Above all, the highlight was the breakfast. The interior was antique, so it felt like staying in a restaurant, and the middle-aged male server was kind and helpful, which was satisfying. I have stayed in many countries and many hotels, but this was a really good breakfast even among regular 5-star hotels. In addition, if you ask the server, you can have eggs benedict, avocado sandwiches, and omelets. The coffee was also great. The price of accommodation is high in Porto, but it was a satisfactory accommodation that felt worth it. The only downside is that I booked 2 nights for 1 night and 1 night, but on the 2nd day, the card I had previously received didn't work. However, they immediately resolved it and I had a good time after that. If you want to stay comfortably, I recommend this place.

The hotel facilities are well-equipped and very new. The room hygiene is very good. The breakfast is average. There are very few hot dishes and the coffee is terrible. The most disappointing thing is that the hotel is in an awkward location, which is really far away from the core attractions. , it takes about 50 minutes to walk (there are many slopes up and down). The hotel itself is on a very high slope. You can only get in and out by taking a taxi. Ctrip's description of the hotel is very misleading and very unreal.

The only downside is that during our stay the street where the hotel is located was dug up, so it was impossible to get there by car

No words.... Has been a trip INSIDE a subway construction area .... And I am not kidding unfortunately. I have reserved a single room kind bed. At beginning the reception assigned me one room at 4th floor exactly in front of jackhammer operators, which made the same noises as in war scenario with 2 beds.
Then after my immediate big complain reception have assigned me another room, #209. Different scenario : that was in front of a concrete grinding crane arrives from 8pm in the morning until 10pm in the evening. at 7am the noises of the vehicles began with the relative movement alarm and in the evening after 10pm the workers who hammer gradually finished at 1am in the night. all i have timed videos to prove my experience. I asked several times to assign me a room ON OTHER SIDE (that are outside the ”war operation area”) but answer was always _ ”SORRY SIR, THE ROOM ON BACKSIDE ARE FULL AND WE DO NOT HAVE SPACE AVAILABLE” .
Today at check out I have asked a discount, as feedback the receptionist charged me 20EUR more for 2 peer juices I have got from minibar......
I do not know how to describe this experience, I have been many times in Intercontinental and I have been always satisfied.... BESIDE THIS LAST TRIP THAT IS REALLY SOMETHING I WANT TO FORGET
Travellers' take extreme care going there !! At least until the subway works under room balcony are finished !!! Can not upload pictures the website tell me ”unable to lad” but I can sent ll of them separately

Loved staying at this hotel. Upon arrival staff was enthusiastic to greet us and give essential information to enjoy our stay in Porto. We were recommended to a restaurant called O Fado which was local cuisine with traditional local music,Fado Rooftop views of bridge and river. Charming area. Tram is accessible right outside. Great breakfast.
Less than 500 meters from the Douro River, our hotel overlooks Porto city center. Historical churches, museums, and metro and trains stations are within walking distance. Within a kilometer you’ll find dozens of restaurants, cafes, shops, and museums. Unwind at the end of the day at our restaurant and bar and enjoy views of Porto.
JJames in Shanghai2024.07.21
We checked in, there was no wait, and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. It was a great touch that the staff member offered to show us a map of Porto and the key things he would recommend doing in the city.
I can’t stress enough just what an excellent location this hotel is in, no public transport is required. All the key sights are within a short walking distance. It is also very walkable from the train station.
The room was great, with adequate lighting, a huge TV and some excellent shower products. The bed was relatively firm and comfortable.
We enjoyed breakfast for the 3 nights. There had been a miscommunication about the price of this, however, the hotel manager was very helpful in rectifying this via email communication after the stay.
The young female staff member we engaged with for breakfast each morning was also very friendly, warm yet professional.
As IHG Platinum members we decided to try this Hilton property and were not disappointed. It was excellent from start to finish and the prompt reply and rectification from the hotel manager is testament to the care, detail and excellent management of this property. I highly recommend this hotel for your stay in Porto.

We arrived earlier for check in, and yes it's all in a rules about time of check in, but it was actually a line of people trying to do same, and hotel was not looking fully booked. We had to wait some time, and once they started to check in, it of course took time, because there were quite a lot of people. Rooms are clean, stuff is quite helpful, they helped us to figure out that fancy system of air-conditioning - which was actually feeling quite cold. So in general, except earlier check in and line for check in- all went pretty smooth.

First of all, the location was right in front of the Doro River, so it was great. Of course, there were some disadvantages as well.
As shown in the attached photo, there were many outdoor seats at the hotel entrance, so it was hard to find the hotel entrance.
And there were many places with similar names to this accommodation from the main road, so I stopped by twice and found it on the third time.
For reference, the other two hotels I stopped by said that this happens very often.
One of them said that I was the third person to visit that day by mistake.
So I'm attaching a photo of the front of the hotel for your reference.
I made a reservation in a hurry and got a room on the 0th floor. -2nd floor reception, -1st floor lobby, 0th floor restaurant, 1st floor and above are the rooms.
There is only one room on the 0th floor, and it was the one I used. As shown in the attached photo, the room was clean and satisfactory, but...
It wasn't a river view. Instead, I think the price was a little cheaper than other rooms.
It was on the same floor as the restaurant, so it was a little noisy. Moreover, as you can see in the picture, there are a lot of outdoor restaurant seats, so it can be a bit noisy until late at night.
In particular, one day during my stay, there was a soccer game, so everyone was drinking and singing in the middle of the day. It was chaos.
Please make sure to request a room on a high floor.
Lastly, all the staff members were friendly and responded very well to any questions or inquiries I had.

Outstanding
GGuest UserAccomodation looks exactly like the photos. Very clean and quiet. Location is very central and right by the metro entry. Kitchen is well equipped for two and couple complementary coffee pods for first day use. Only thing to improve is the washing machine/dryer could be more powerful as it took a few hours to dry off the wash load. Also building is a block away from the reception so a bit of hassle to go to the office for the laundry room key there and back for each use.
MMaggieKieuSuper nice and cozy room, however its supposed to run as Airbnb not a Hotel, you wont get cleaning services during your stay, water for the first day even and the communication to access on checkin is troublesome-like airbnb.
- Checkin/out: They didnt send the checkin information in advance, and expecting you to write them an email to get it (when you dont expect to do so for a hotel-services) - same on checkout. Hope they received the email I sent via trip.com
- Room type: The room isn’t the same as in the room photo when you booked, its another one. The one we stayed has no sofa and balcony.
- No water even on the first day, cook yourself by using the kettle or drink from tap (which not recommended in portugal)
- Cleaning: The room is clean and niche, but dont expect any cleaning services during the whole stay.
- Noise from the street: mostly day and night as its in very central walking street.
최최려It's a 10-minute walk from São Bento Station.
If you take a Google map, it's right in front of the tunnel?
The first floor is a cafe and restaurant, and the accommodation is above.
When you check in, you can go into the cafe.
The accommodation is basically clean and has basic refrigerators, utensils, hair dryers, shampoos, etc., and I was able to walk to the train station, tourist attractions, etc.
I didn't take a taxi once and went everywhere.
However, I went on a trip in January, and no matter how much I turned on the heater inside the accommodation, it was a little cold in the evening, and there were no blankets on the bed, only blankets provided separately.. 🥹
I don't usually feel the cold, but I was cold!.!
Other than that, I was satisfied with the facilities, location, etc. ~
JJinwooOne of the Best Serviced Apartments We’ve Stayed At
This was easily the best serviced apartment we’ve stayed at recently. All the facilities were brand new, and the cleanliness—especially in the kitchen and bathroom—surpassed even some 4-star hotels. Everything we needed was provided, and the interior design was excellent. The bed was also very comfortable. Great location, great price, great amenities.
Here are a few potential downsides that might matter to some guests:
• The internet was very slow. The Wi-Fi signal on the second floor was the strongest, so we used that, but it was barely sufficient for even checking emails. It felt as if the connection was intentionally throttled. If you need stable internet for work, tethering through your phone might actually be faster.
• No elevator. Our unit was located on the second floor, and we had to carry about 30kg of luggage up the stairs ourselves. Even a small, old-fashioned lift would have been a huge help.
• Noise from upstairs. Although the apartment was newly renovated, the flooring is still the original wooden structure, so noise from the upper floor can be heard. We were tired enough to sleep through it with earplugs, but sensitive guests should take this into account. Booking the top-floor unit might solve this issue, though that means climbing even more stairs.
• Early check-in confusion. We had requested an early check-in, but it wasn’t communicated properly. As a result, we had to drop off our luggage at the YOUROPO office, which is about a 6–7 minute walk from the apartment. I wonder if we could’ve left our luggage directly at the property if the message had gone through properly—perhaps someone from the team could clarify?
Despite these minor issues, I would still give this property a full 5 stars. If we visit Porto again, YOUROPO will be at the top of our list.
SSHINHYUNALocation is really nice and near to Ben Santo Station. but the light is too dark in the room and not that clean include the shower booth. I could not open the terrace window because there is homeless in front of the building. Another thing is the host. I was looking for the wine opener but there wasn't. I called to host and he just said please re-find wine opener again and again. Even already I searched the opener several time. He ended up not bringing me a wine opener or giving me any feedback about it.
RRomstarJust far enough from the busy crowded spots to feel peaceful, yet close enough to walk and or catch many different forms of transport.
We booked planning to use the Sauna and Spa after a busy days sight seeing. Unfortunately they had time Limits that didnt allow such comfort, but that just made us do more in gorgeous Porto itself. The garden are well kept, a lovely, and not so small, green space to sit and enjoy the sunshine.
Ana checked us in, she was wonderfully fun and full of so much helpful Information!! She gave us a fantastic, if not a little too ambitious itinerary for our short visit. And not one piece of advice Was wrong! Thankyou!!
The apartments are nice, they have a warm grounding vibe. Everything Was comfortable except our bed, but that is always relative to who's sleeping in it.
Well equipped for short stays, extra kitchen Equipment was available on request. But theres too many delicious options practically on your doorstep. We barely Even had coffee in our room.
I would gladly return and stay at Apartments Oporto Anselmo again. And recommend
ССаб. ЛюдмилаI dreamed to live in this type of room. Ordered earlier in Prague, it didn't work. The hotel (studio apartment) very liked. Recipeshen nearby, on the same street. The administrator is very kind, carried out, showed everything. The family room, I was alone. Upstairs sleep warmer. There's an air conditioner. The welcome portwain is very delicious! In the room everything is available: refrigerator, teapot, pans, stove, safe. I'm not in a suitcase, I was OK, but with a suitcase it will be hard to get up to the room. Hotel in the center, near the metro, supermarkets.
BBitartBeautifully simple suite with a kitchen that saved me money by having all that I needed to make my meals in my own place. Daily cleaning meant I didn't even have to do the dishes. The service here was fantastic, although it would have been helpful to know not to show up at the apartments, but their main desk which was 2 blocks away. This could be clarified in the booking instructions next time. Location is only a 7min walk from the train station. 15 min from the old town center with a small supermarket just 3 blocks away. Check-in was fast, as well as check-out. Secure code to open the main door to the building, with elevator or stairs too.
DDyoisThe apartment is in the best and most strategic location. Very convenient, almost next door to Torre Dos Clerigos, Livraria Lello and right in the middle of the town.
The only downside which something that can be fixed is the soundproofing. The apartment is right at the nightspot that can get noisy until 5-6am in the morning.
Other than that, it was a fantastic stay, the hosts are very responsive and attentive to what we possibly need.
EEmilyI recently spent four nights at Aparthotel Oporto Sol, and while my stay was overall okay, it came with a few drawbacks.
First, the location is a bit outside the main area of Porto, which required some extra effort to get into the heart of the city. While the surroundings were quiet and less crowded, I did find myself relying on public transport or taxis more than I would have liked.
One of the main issues was the absence of air conditioning in the bedroom. During my stay, the temperatures were warm, and it made things uncomfortable at night. Opening the windows was not an option due to the presence of mosquitoes outside, which meant I struggled to find a comfortable sleeping temperature.
On the positive side, the apartment itself was spacious and generally clean. The amenities were adequate for my needs, and the staff was friendly and helpful, albeit a few blocks over. I appreciated the kitchenette, which allowed me to prepare some of my own meals during my stay.
In summary, while my stay at Aparthotel Oporto Sol had its merits, the lack of air conditioning and its location outside the main area impacted my overall experience. If you're sensitive to heat or prefer to be in the city center, you may want to consider other options. Otherwise, it serves as a decent accommodation for those seeking a quieter spot.
