Porto Villas

Very modern, clean hotel, located close to the metro station. Very friendly staff - quickly responding to client's requests. The room was very comfortable, especially the bed. Cleaned daily. The shower - amazing with some nice features :)

About two months ago, I happened to see the promotional video of the hotel's opening, and then decided to walk around in Porto and booked this hotel specially. Our room is on the top floor. The balcony offers a beautiful view of Porto. The lighting design is relatively dark in the evening, which makes people very relaxing and sleepy. The bathroom accessories are great, and the towels seem to have a slight caramel smell. Full of comfortable experience. Will choose to stay in Porto next time.

Wow- what a great location and eclectic hotel. Staff was very welcoming, happy, energetic and went out of their way to offer directions and recommendations to restaurants. Clean room, crisp sheets, well maintained. The hotel itself is right across the street from the Cathedral and is central to so many tourist sites, restaurants and shops. We truly enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend this hotel.

I liked the most among European hotels I went to this time on my honeymoon. It's a small but lovely and very pretty hotel. When I was curious, it was said that it was built in 1829, but it is in excellent condition. It was rather antique and very good. When you open the window, the view is so pretty as if it were in a fairy tale. In the plaza in front, they perform performances, and they are gathered right in front of the bar restaurant, so the location is the best. If I go back to Porto, I will definitely stay at this hotel!! (Breakfast is tidy, but there are too few eggplants.)

What a royal style! I really like the interior design and the elevator is so interesting! Great location, walking distance to main attractions. Breakfast is good too! There is a complimentary tasting of Porto grape liqueur at the front desk and a lounge with coffee and other refreshments.

We stayed 3 nights from 6th May in room 307 with city view ( which it worth paying for ). Location was great, staff very helpful and friendly, also great at accommodating our checkout request. The room was big, modern decor and great shower, cleaned every day, it didn’t have an iron though but we didn’t ask for one either. The breakfast was ok, I would have liked more choice especially hot food. The coffee in the room situation is weird. You only get 4 coffee pods for the whole stay ( although we stayed 3 nights ) so what I would suggest to the hotel management is just take the coffee machine out and put some instant coffee sachets in since there is a kettle. This ways you won’t annoy your guests… I would return!

OK so we arrived very early and the whole of the front and one side of the hotel is surrounded by construction for the new metro. I really feel for the staff but they were handling it well. We did have to wait a long time to check in but that was because they wanted to give us a room away from the building work. The junior suite was great and the welcome was fab. Breakfast was stunning and the staff were adorable.

Quite large hostel. It has many amenities but doesn’t really convey the hostel vibe. There isn’t really any common area aside for the kitchen and reception area as the huge inner garden is actually a restaurant. We have been kicked out the picnic tables multiple times even though our room is adjacent to the garden, we couldn’t even just sit and read without ordering anything. We were a bit disappointed by the welcoming drink activity as the staff just brought the people together, brought a pitcher of some cocktail and left us to entertain ourselves. The kitchen was quite dirty ever time we went as well. It seemed like the other people staying here didn’t really take care of it but it didn’t seem like anyone from the staff was going to check either. We stayed in a 4-bed room which was clean enough but kept the humidity inside a lot. The curtains and ceiling were dirty or moldy, not really sure. The place is ok, we were expecting more of a Selina.

Stayed here for 7 nights and was in 3 different rooms. Good News: Staff is great, especially Joanna and Marina (?) at front desk, and Paulo (?) and other bellman Overall decor is dated and needs refurbishing. Comments re: rooms… Room 234: Larger and very quiet with robe/slippers. Headboard is torn. Bathroom door in the way of toilet & bidet; need to close door to access. … Rm 232: Corner Suite. Beautiful but TOO NOISY. Despite wearing earplugs, closing double-paned windows + lowering electronic blackout shades outside bedroom window, still had trouble sleeping due to street noise (trucks, motorcycles, etc). Noise through evening and early morning hours when bins picked up. Windows need another layer to soundproof… Room 411: New side of hotel, VERY small room; no slippers/robe offered, better layout of bathroom. No view but very quiet. Bad news: For the amount charged per room (almost €200/night or more) + standard hotel tries to maintain, complimentary coffee and water should be available every day of stay, not just day #1. Beautiful view and good food from rooftop bar but VERY SLOW service. Tips: Location is by river so about 1-2 miles from city center which is uphill from hotel. Other option is to use Uber. Tram stop and supermarket conveniently located within 1-2 blocks of hotel. Can take tram toward Dom Luis Bridge to check out restaurants with great river views: Bacalhau (very small and don’t take reservations) or Vinhas d’Alho restaurant next door, takes reservations and has more outdoor seats. Overall: Wonderful, helpful and accommodating staff in lovely location but you could find better value other places, like the many ”AL” accommodations (private apartments similar to Airbnb).

Breakfast is great, there is parking space, about 10 minutes walk from the river, shopping mall next to it .. there is a food center ... taxi taxi point, very convenient
