Hotels near Estatua Homem do Leme, Porto

Lovely location in Foz for people who prefer to stay somewhere calmer than the centre of Porto. You can catch a 500 bus nearby or the tram (about 500m from hotel). The hotel is near the beachfront and overlooks a castle. The best points are the panoramic roof view out to sea, bar and pool area. There is some underground parking available. The staff were extremely helpful and even helped us get our car out of the garage. We had a large vehicle (Toyota Hilux double cab) and managed to park it in the underground car park. If you are a confident driver you can get it in. The hotel was extremely clean. Breakfast was busy but still managed to appear calm. This is a good hotel for the price in a good location. The rooms were a little hot but you can open the windows. Would we come back? Yes.

We just came back from a 4 night stay. We highly recommend this hotel. The staff was amazing (Miguel and Gabriel) were especially helpful upon check in and other occasions. It was easy to use public transportation (close-by). The beach is right down the street. Many good restaurants within walking distance. Grocery Store next door. Bar Staff were amazing. Air Conditioning was nice and cold. Rooms were clean, beds were super comfortable. Highly recommended!

Booked for a week long stay in this hotel, & was disappointed on arrival. Receptionist was rude, the room was completely visible from the street with no privacy curtains, so we could either keep the blackout curtains completely closed or have absolutely no privacy from a very busy intersection. Also, the toilet seat, bathroom door & air conditioning were all broken or faulty. We didn’t make a fuss because we were planning to spend our days out & at the beach, which is 10 min walk away. But we then had a family emergency back home & had to cut our trip short, & rearrange our flights urgently. We asked about getting a partial refund for the days we couldn’t stay, offering to pay a cancellation fee, as we were trying to pay for last minute flights home. The receptionist was INCREDIBLY rude & dismissive. He not only refused to help, but told us to “go away” for a few hours, saying he would call management but refused to do so on the spot, for no reason. We told him we were in a hurry trying to arrange flights home & he simply shrugged, annoyed. He didn’t try to call anyone or suggest he couldn’t at that time, he was simply refusing to & told us to go away for a few hours, when we were trying to make urgent arrangements. I called Urban Hotel offices seven times with no response, emailed about the situation & got no assistance, no refund, no credit, no basic help. An utterly subpar hotel, but the lack of politeness, basic respect & compassion was appalling. Would advise against staying here.

The hotel is very comfortable and comfortable. The indoor hall is contemporary with a bar where you can take cocktails. The staff have informed us well about the restaurants around. We had a room next to the city, so calmly despite the restaurants in this street. The hotel is located 5 minutes from the beach. And the metro is not very far too to make a excursion in Porto. Beautiful indoor swimming pool heated. We enjoyed our stay.

I've never experienced such a trip around the world in hotels like youth hostels, in the home of the inhabitant or even in a camping area. The hotel was very comfortable and was very comfortable. So when we arrived we had the good surprise of having hair and hair on our hairdraps. Of course, the staff is welcome, but when we saw a bed punishment (See Photo) on one of our mattresses, he did not do the necessary. In fact, he only came to the room to sparke the bed punishe with a special bomb and then took it with a mouchoir and only changed the drape of the bottom. We still stayed in this hostel for the other half of the week and we have not changed bed or room while the punaises are in the matalas and therefore need special intervention. I was surprised to see the hotel's views and I was far from being the only one who found bed punishes.

I stayed here with 2 friends last week for 5 nights in a triple room. Word of warning for anyone considering a triple room - there's minimal privacy! Whilst the breakfast options are good, it can get hectic in the breakfast room. One morning, both coffee machines broke which means we had to leave the hotel to get coffee which isn't ideal. On this morning, it seems the hotel was short staffed as there was no cutlery or plates, cups, etc. We had to write this morning off and seek breakfast elsewhere, too. The young man who works the night shift seems to dislike his job, a lot. We encountered him a few times. I tried to make conversation with him on two occasions - he simply was not bothered to attempt to engage. We also got stuck in the elevator one morning. It took approx 5 minutes for a staff member to help us despite pressing the call bell three times. They powered down the elevator (to be left in complete darkness!) and once the door opened, they told us that ”this sometimes happens”. Completely unacceptable. We did meet one lovely staff member who worked at the bar. He was so courteous and helpful and always took time to chat. He's the reason this review is 3 stars as opposed to 2.

Warm welcome, spacious room but unfortunately not the original one, we had to have a queen or king size bed, we finally had 2 single beds. The recoats are well done by the housekeepers. A little expensive for the price but very nice hotel. The water is chargeable be careful

I booked this hotel in 2021, the reservation was confirmed and sent to my email, however, when we arrive on days 15/07/2022, which our surprise when they say you have no booking registered in my name, The hotel was full, and they managed to solve it and waiting with us in a booking room behind the reception. The room was super-antiquate, the a/c was not working, we tried to open a window but it was almost impossible, when we managed to close again because of the noise of the machines. The floor was alcatified and all dirty and in bad state, The hotel was a very bad experience, the toilet was renovated. The next night they managed to put us in a room at the first floor, honestly in infrastructure was almost the same, but the toilet was very bad the shower was squirting all over. honestly I think it was the worst four stars I've ever been. At least breakfast was reasonable.Email customer service is also very bad. They devalue even the customer, I think I never had such a bad experience.

Porto hotels prices are quite expensive. On our recent visit there we decide to spend a couple of days in this hotel, so to see the off center attractions.The room price was very fair. The hotel is quite modern and also simple. Nice rooms and very clean too. Complimentary continental breakfast is served in buffet style. Actually there is not a true bar, but a ”bar corner” which is OK for a couple of beers or some wine. As we had a car, we are not able to comment on transport connections.

Stayed four night as a base for Porto centre. Would give it 3.5 if possible to use halfs. Rooms were clean although showing signs of wear. Bed made up daily and fresh towels. Lack of shelf space in cupboard. Used for breakfast once but also tried the Mitica Inspiracao out of the back door twice for a more relaxed setting and no temptation to overfill v the buffet. Shower has good temperature and flow. Friendly and helpful reception staff. Nearby supermarket for anything you need. The bus from the airport took 50 mins during the morning midweek, and initially goes away from the hotel before heading back towards it. If I was doing it again I would take the Metro to Ramalde the nearest stop and then get an Uber to the hotel. The airport Metro is just behind the road at arrivals. Bus 304 seemed the quicker bus than the 300 or 301 into town. Had issues with bus reliability getting back from town after 8pm using information from route planner on Google maps .. chasing round various bus stops near the Town Hall Square to no avail. Ended up prefering to get the Metro back to Ramalde and then €3 for an Uber. Opted to use luggage lockers at Trindade Metro, €6 small for upto 12 hours rather than detour back to the hotel on the last day. Other sizes available but limited availability.
