Pros:

Boa localização porém, reservei acreditando ser um hotel. Na verdade é uma hospedaria sem nenhum serviço. A senhora que nos atendeu foi bastante prestativa. O barulho a noite é insuportável por conta do trânsito e ambulâncias já que está próximo ao hospital

Pros:

Le tre stelle sono fuorvianti. Per trascorrerci una o due notti può passare, ma non di più. Non ha i requisiti minimi nemmeno per essere un due stelle

Pros:

A great location for visiting the walkable city of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia just over the river. It's clean and the reception is friendly. It's not luxurious but (a) you knew that when you saw the price and (b) you're going out first thing in the morning and coming back last thing at night, you came here to see Portugal, no the inside of a room. Only thing I would say to Expedia is, we got the non-smoking room we asked for but you describe the property as smoke free, and I am not convinced it is.

Pros:

Propriétaire antipathique, chambre vétuste, odeur de tabac froid insupportable même en aérant, pas de rideau occultant, insécure.
Passez votre chemin

Good little base for exploring porto
Pros:

I know for some people having to leave your key at reception is jarring and confusing but in practice it's not too inconvenient as the hardworking hostess is always at reception at all hours. The location is great for access to a direct metro to/from the airport, although it's not right in the centre of the action. I would recommend this hotel if you're happy to use the metro and/or walk into the centre

Stor lejlighed med støj fra gaden
Pros:

Det var en billig overnatning og som sådan ok.
Rengøringen var ikke super god og det lugtede af bl.a. af røg i værelserne. Der er en markant støj fra gadens biler.
Check-in og receptionen var helt okay.

Pros:

Got to the reception and was meet by a women who didn’t speak very good English,Filled out all the forms and was told I needed to pay €6 euro bedroom fee..No problem went to pay with my card but they only took cash..No problem I will get to the cash machine and draw it out for you..All day and the following day i was meet with “You owe me €6 euro today” She was very rude and hounded me for this €6 even though I paid when booking £10 for another “tax”..The hotel it self stunk from every corner of cigarette smoke constantly! It was disgusting to the point I had to leave my window open all day and night to try and air the smell out! Didn’t work bearing in mind we was on a busy road so the noise was constant! The bathroom is so small you can’t move when showering if you can shower that is! The bed the sheets where damp and not dry! Your key you have to leave behind the reception if you leave so any one can have a nosey in your room! All in all a really bad experience and would never book here again.

Esistono i citofoni e i sorrisi ai clienti.
Pros:

Io direi a questa donna di mettere un citofono,non parlo di videocitofono "tecnologia troppo avanzata";non si può ogni volta che esci lasciare alla "reception"la chiave e poi quando torni,suonare ogni volta e aspettare anche 5 minuti,mai vista una cosa simile.La struttura è vicina al centro,alla metropolitana,ma la scocciatura che dimostra questa donna,la chiave lasviata ogni volta e il fetore che proviene dal bagno,rovinano l'aspetto positivo del loco.

Pros:

Hier muss man seinen Schlüssel abgegeben und jedesmal wenn man ins hotel möchte, steht man auf der Straße und man muss klingeln. Der Höhepunkt war, als ich 1 Stunde in der Nacht (2-3 Uhr) auf der Straße verbringen musste, weil niemand auf mein Klingeln reagierte. Ich habe den Urlaub nach zwei Tagen abgebrochen und bin auf eigene Kosten nach Hause geflogen. Bisher keine Unterstützung durch Expedia! Das Hotel ist außerdem mehr als schmutzig und die Dame an der Rezeption ist nicht einsichtig und sehr unfreundlich! hier auf keinen Fall ein Zimmer buchen! Ich habe das Gefühl die wollen die Leute mit Absicht weg ekeln.

Pros:

La llamamos "La pensión Loli", es una habitación pequeña, vieja y no muy limpia. El baño es súper pequeño, la ducha es bañera, tan pequeña que cuesta darte la vuelta sin peligro.
No hay más que jabón de manos y lo justo para que no gastes, la basura es de tamaño baño, la "limpieza" de la habitación se realiza cada 2 días.
Lo peor es que no te dan llaves, tienes que picar para poder entrar, no sólo en ocasiones tarda muchísimo en bajar, si no, que te pedirá explicaciones de todo haciendo bastante molesta la estacia ya que la mujer, no tiene nada de simpática.
Las habitaciones están en un segundo piso sin ascensor, la ubicación es buena y cercana al metro aunque, no hay mucho comercio cerca.

Decepcionante!!!
Pros:

No check in a funcionária fez 1001 questionamentos do porque eu estava alugando o quarto mais caro, depois perguntou mais de 1000 vezes se eu ia trazer mais alguém para dormir comigo, na manhã seguinte pontualmente 30 minutos antes do check-out estava a funcionária a bater na porta dizendo que eu tinha que ir embora.
Quarto era no 1° andar sem janelas anti ruídos, muito barulho dos carros subindo a rua, muito barulho dos hospedes do apto de cima, aquecedor do quarto não funcionou, no banheiro só tinha uma toalha de banho, não tinha de rosto e nem de chão.
Definitivamente decepcionante!!!
